Hey - when you post your team, you should post it in terms of a lineup. C, 1B, 2B, etc. That way it's easier to eyeball. You also need to post your league size, format and settings because a good team in a 16 team OPS keeper league is a terrible team in a 10 team 5x5 redraft.

Going to assume it's a 5x5 league. (When I say that, I'm talking about standard categories: AVG R RBI HR SB / ERA WHIP W K SV)

In general you've got a pretty good team. You've got a solid core of hitters. Your 3rd OF spot is bit weak; with Sizemore you really don't know what you're getting there. You've got some dead weight on the bench - a lot of those hitters could live on the FA list easily. I'd exchange them for some high-upside pitching, maybe a closer-in-waiting or two, especially if it's an H2H league.

Example: drop Molina for, shot in the dark, Brandon League. Drop Ryan Ludwick for Madison Bumgarner, Bud Noris... I dunno, I'm trying to guess who'd be available.

Thanks for the advice.

couple more who might be FA and worth a look: Erik Bedard, Jake McGee
