I had the 8th pick. How'd I do?

Looks good to me. Like your Pitching-Staff.

Fielder, Sandoval and Kemp are a good core to build a team around. With A.Jones and McCutchen you have some stellar young-guns and Andrus, Heyward and CarGO should be a nice investment for the future. I hope this is a Keeper League.

Thanks for the feedback. It's not a keeper, but it is a money league. I'm getting killed in rbi's and average right now. Hopefully my team starts to hit.

[Kafka]

wait for Prince and Kung-Fu Panda and your RBIs will come! Kemp is already heated up and will go 25-25 or 30-30...

[shoof08]

I'm not too worried about them since both are slow starters. I'm more worried about Ibanez, Jones, and Sizemore. I was thinking about dropping one and picking up Kelly Johnson or Casey McGehee. I hate having 3 OF's on my bench especially if they don't hit. I'm gonna have to drop one once Roberts comes back and I'm thinking it's gonna be Ibanez or Jones.

Some players on the market are
OF's Gutierrez, Hamilton, Damon, Ludwick, Gardner, SS A. Gonzalez, 3B/OF Headley
P's Zito, Pelfrey, Braden, Capps

[Kafka]

Hang on to A.Jones and Sizemore (I know Sizemore sucks big time- I have him,too) but I would trade Ibanez.
Like K.Johnson/Headley but maybe take a gamble on Hamilton.

I like your team a lot. You have a good young core of power hitters and a strong pitching staff. When Sizemore and Jones come around you should be right in the thick of things. Thanks for your help with mine.

i like your team a lot....nice balance across the board,nice draft

[wkpdpack]

I think your team should do fairly well. Depends a lot on how some of your younger guys do. If anything I'd say it's lacking a bit of power, but it's still early. As the year goes on, if you're pitching is carrying you then you can deal it for some power.

Sorry for the very late response. Death in the family, have not been on the internet much at all lately.

I think your team is really good, it has the depth to survive an entire season, and you should be a contender. Thanks for the help in my thread.
