how'd I do? 8 team draft, roto. 5X5

[Ehlana]

Kickass infield and SP. I'd try and trade Kent or Giles for a power hitting OF then move either Gibbons or Drew into the util spot. I think you're gonna need to find yourself a third closer as well though. Those two aren't gonna get you enough saves imo.

It seems really good, but it is an 8 team league so everyone's gonna have a good team.

But I've got an 8 team draft today and if my team looks like yours I'll be quite happy.

You have a decent team. Your infield and ur starters are strong. But ur outfield and ur relievers could use some work. I would definately trade either kent or giles and one of ur outfielders to upgrade to a top outfielder. Then you can put Drew at Util or pick up a free agent, considering there are only 8 teams there should be some good players still left...who r the top free agents?

Let's see, top overall hitters available:

J. Encarnacion
R. Hidalgo
C. Floyd
J. Jones
E. Martinez
M. Sweeney
A. Beltre


Pitchers:

B. Sheets
B. Penny
J. Washburn
R. Soriano (he'd be taken if he wasn't hurt)
