Rate My 1st Year Keeper League - 10 Teams - WHIR

[Johnny Deuce]

Hi Folks

I just finished drafting my first keeper league.

There are 10 teams, Auction Draft, 5 X 5 (with OBP instead of AVG), Roto league.
I will attach the dollar values - I know that I overpaid for Votto and Longoria, and I'm not happy with my overall OF'ers. My pitching staff is okay, but I'll have to keep watching the waiver wire for new pitchers. But I've looked at the team for so long its hard to judge it anymore. We had a $266 budget. Any help would be appreciated.

C - Carlos Santana $12
1B - Joey Votto, $35
2B - Martin Prado, $12
3B - Evan Longoria, $35
SS - Rafael Furcal, $4
1B/3B - Casey McGhee, $5
2B/SS - Starlin Castro, $4
OF - Josh Hamilton, $24
OF - Alex Rios, $11
OF - Adam Jones, $8
OF - Juan Pierre, $5
OF - Grady Sizemore, $4
Util - Chris Coghlan, $2

P - CC Sabathia, $20
P - Ubaldo Jimenez, $15
P - Cole Hamels, $14
P - Edinson Volquez, $5
P - Jonathan Sanchez, $7
P - Jamie Garcia, $2
P - Joe Nathan, $7
P - Francisco Cordero, $4
P - Frank Francisco, $5

BN - Lance Berkman, $2
BN - Ike Davis, $7
BN - Justin Smoak, $2
BN - Logan Morrison, $5
BN - Aaron Harang, $1
BN - Johnny Cueto, $2

i like this team. there aren't any glaring holes that i can see. with votto/longoria, your team is in good hands. hamilton/rios/jones/pierre should put up similar seasons to last year with hamilton's average going down a bit while i think jones will probably improve his numbers. i'm not sure about sizemore's status or if he'll even be ready for opening day. but you can still slot coghlan into the of and let ike have the util spot.

i like your rotation. you pretty much know what cc will give you. solid numbers, lots of wins. hopefully, edinson volquez gets back to what he's capable of. i'm not a big fan of harang but i guess his move to petco will help. it's just that he's been declining for a few years and he's not even giving you the number of innings pitched anymore.
