You've got a good team for a 14 team league, but there is some SERIOUS risk involved there, clearly. I feel like half of your line up and 3 or 4 pitchers have an above average chance of getting injured.

That being said, if they stay healthy, you could have a really good team. I like Josh Hamilton a lot.

It looks good but two things bothers me.

1. I think you are giving away BA. I don't expect Weeks, Rollins, Cruz, or Upton to touch .280. Plus Dunn and Young should both be around .250.
2. The SP is really boom or bust.

hmm so you guys think i should deal some risks for some sure bets? who would be the batter with the biggest risk that i could get something good out of trade? hamilton? what about pitcher, edwin jackson?

I wouldn't trade Hamilton. you won't get value equivilent to what he'd be worth if he was healthy and mashing. I think you team can be pretty good, but theres a fair bit of dice rolling here. You know what you get with Dunn, but noone else in your lineup is a sure thing. I like allot of them though, there is real potential there.
