how is my team ...I'll rate yours w/ a link

[Ridgerunner]

Here's my std. 5x5 11 team league roster.


C C. Wilson
1B M. Sweeney
2B Hairston JR
SS R. Furcal
MI A. Everett
3B M. Teixeira
CI S. Green
LF C. Crawford
CF A. Jones
RF B. Abreu
OF A. Kearns
OF A. Huff
UT C. Floyd
BN C. Patterson
BN J. Gerut
BN D. Young ( only two DL spots)
DL M. Giles
DL J. Reyes
SP Pedro
SP Schilling
SP Peavy
SP B. Colon
RP Dotel
RP Kolb
RP J. Mesa
P J. Valverde
P A.J. Burnett ( only two DL spots)

My question is do you think Furcal and Reyes will equal or surpass Crawford for steals the rest of the way? I want to shop Crawford for power because i think that those two will steal at least as much as Crawford. (Assuming all stay healthy)
thanks

Why would you trade Chavez if you need power? He gives you good power for the position. I might drop K-Rod for Crosby, but that's about it for the players you listed.

[Ridgerunner]

Because I have Teixiera, D.Young and Cabrera all eligible at 3B. And because his value is sky high. He won't hit more than 32 and I would like 40-45 in return for Crawford and Chavez. I could get a Thome or a Sexon or Sosa probably.

Pretty good all around team. I would certainly look to upgrade your starting pitching, or at least add some depth. I don't think I would trade a top-three 3B like Chavez and a speed-freak like Crawford for Sosa; maybe for Thome or Sexson, but I hope your league doesn't count batter K's as a negative stat.....mine does!

[Ridgerunner]

I think i can get Thome for Chavez and Crawford. Should I do it or try to get Pitching instead????
Thanks guys

Great team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


For a 11 team league...that is awesome.....That is one of the best teams I have seen offensively in a 11 team league...


I also think your pitching is fine....

[CubsFan7724]

Your hitting is really good but pitching is sort of questionable after pedro schilling and dotel. if peavy and myers turn out to be the sleepers that people think they will, you should be fine. Your bullpen is ok. Im not sure how many save opps Kolb will get in Milwaukee though

[Ridgerunner]

Yeah I think I should try to get a solid #3 Starter with Chavez as bait. Someone like Oswalt or Mulder?

[Ridgerunner]

Do I have too much speed? Should I use some of it to get some more ptching?
Thanks
