I see you also have Upton! The back of your staff is risky, but I can see it paying off.

I really like what you have here. I'm kinda skeptical about your relievers though. Lindstrom is one slip-up away from taking a backseat to Lyon who got that huge $15 mill. deal which screams closers role, unless the 'stros plan on lookin silly for paying that much for a late innings guy. i wouldn't touch your hitters. you have a really solid lineup with a lot of variety. you got your power, your steals, extra base/rbi potential guys...i'd try and trade one of your pitchers, other than lee, wainwright, jimenez, or hamels, for a guy that will give you some guaranteed saves, like a soria, k-rod, wilson, or a heath bell type guy. otherwise you look set for ball.

I know My hittings good theres holds in the league ill try to make a move for a set closer. But holds go out and trade or go to the waivers? also who should i drop for a reliever?

You have so many SP's, is that required? I would try to drop one or even two of them for either 1 or 2 solid RP's... I really like nearly all of your SP's so you should be able to pull something decent off. You'll have to see who is available when the hold is lifted...

[RPDfire007]

My last post was so unclear. There is a holds category in the league so anyone know some good people for holds most of the league didnt get any middle relievers just closers. Also who should i trade for a solid closer i love all my pitchers

How many pitchers do you have to have on the active roster? I would say you have some pretty solid upper echelon pitchers, you could trade 1 of them and get a solid RP too... I mean, pick one of the middle of the road from your best pitchers and get rid of him for someone better. Check the free agents too, there might be a gem left over. Im sorry you got Ryan Doumit, hes going to be a constant injury risk according to ESPN, Im a buccos fan and I know he doesn't have a lot of help around him to at least get him RBI's and hes not really a base stealer.

P.S. your last 2 posts have been a little unclear... lol... By holds do you mean keepers?

[RPDfire007]

Holds by reliever holds

I'd honestly be a little worried about BA with this squad, as both Reynolds and Pena have all-or-nothing swings and should see a ton of ABs. Otherwise, I agree with the previous posters.

OF is awesome!
You have alot of SP but there's injury risk there - Lee,Webb,Oswalt,Peavy,Marcum.
If you don't finish last in saves I'll be shocked

Overall rating: B+
