Main reason I went so high with Hanson is because A. I over spent just a touch in the begining on bats, and when they started going on SP they all went high (Lincy-43, Halladay-40, Grienke-38, CC-38, Felix-35, Carpenter-34, Haren-34) and I didn't want to go that high, so I waited and let them waste their money so I could catch back up with total $$ left. B. With it being a keeper Hanson's value compared to other top young arms is a steal.

We may also differe on Wright because I see a 3B whos line reads .310-.320/100R/20HR(which I think is lowend)/100/25SB to be worth all of $27, acually thought that was a steal...

Any players you see worthy of a roster spot on the WW?

Can you stash Lilly on your DL? May be worth a consideration. I personally like Reimold but some reports say he may be rested in the early part of the season. If you wanted to add a 3rd closer, Perez will be closing until Woods gets back and if Woods gets moved may take over the role. Stubbs is also a consideration.

I'm not wild about Corey Hart and Liriano is tempting IMO if you can take the risk.

Definitely drop Dusch for Liriano (or Harang, both of those guys are better and safer than JD). I'd personally rather have Harang than Harden / Buchholz, and would drop one of those guys to get Harang (I'd drop Harden before Buchholz).

Also, I'd definitely rather have Konerko and/or Reimold over Hart.

Overall I think your pitching will be very solid (after you get Liriano and Harang, that is :-D

), and your bats look good, although your middle infield is a little weak compared to the rest of your roster.

EDIT: Nevermind, thanks for helping me out. I appreciated the in-depth answer!

Thanks for your input on mine.
I think you did very well. Your offense does not need any tweaking. If you wanted to make a move, I would drop Hart for a pitcher. If you want the extra closer, Perez is filling in for a bit, you could pick up some saves. If you want an extra SP... I'd keep an eye on Kuroda, Liriano, or how the Reds treat Chapman/how he performs. I really like your team top to bottom though.

Garza for $ 6, Slowey for $3 are steals. Way to high on Wright and little high on Hanson, especially compared to the pitchers I just mentioned. I would also dump Duch for the high upside Liriano.
