What is the rest of your roster?

[GeorgyG01]

I updated my Roster, I did the trade because I am in a need of a clear cut #1 pitcher.

Who else is on his roster? I am curious because I agree with you I don't think Hamilton body will hold up and he eventually will end up being on the DL but also, I am not sure if David Price can keep his pace up

My roster is in my original post I updated it.

On the other guys roster

Why does the other guys Roster matter? Does it help me? It's a H2H league and I am not too concerned about him.

I would have stuck it out with Hamilton. I think he makes it through the season and has one like he had a couple of years ago.The rays have come back to the pack and I think Price will run into some problems when the Sox and Yankees are both heathy down the stretch. But of course if I knew for sure I would pick 6 right numbers tonight and be on plane in the morning to anywhere but here.So its just a hunch but I like the hitter most every time.

If Hamilton can stay healthy in that lineup and in that ballpark he should have a great year. Price is a great pitcher but he is in the AL East. I would have tried to target a more established pitcher in the NL maybe Waino or J.J. Oh well, this deal is not bad for you and there is a decent chance that Hamilton winds up on the DL but I wouldn't expect a big regression in his numbers in the 2nd half if he stays healthy.

If you were concerned about him I would be worried, I was just wondering what his roster was so you didn't have to do a trade straight up with Hamilton for David Price because i agree with the other comments..David Price is in the AL East and its the strongest division in baseball and it is a little ludicrous to think he would be able to keep up that pace..but whatever, i wouldn't be asking if it didn't matter
