Team advice--Will see yours

[canibus]

5x5, H2H, 8 team, weekly changes, 2nd waiver priorty

1. Do you see anyone in my starting lineup who isn't ready to start yet due to injury/other?
2. Should I be looking to improve my IF/UTIL slots?
3. How does my pitching look? Affeldt okay to start as 6th SP or should I start B.Penny? Closing situation okay? Should I drop Marte for a FA since he's MR and this isn't a holds league?

bump...

1) nope
2) assuming the FA is jacque jones and not chipper/andruw, i'd stick with what you've got. castillo and lofton mix the speed into your power lineup.
3) pitching looks fine. i would hang on to marte as he will be the closer when not if koch fails. only fa i would consider is herges, who could close many games depending on how long nen is out. affeldt and penny are close, but i have a hunch affeldt has the better season of the two. i like him pitching in the central against crappy offenses.

1. Nope, you are doing fine
2. I would put Nevin in as a Util over Gibbons, but they aren't that far apart.. Of those free agents, the only ones I would keep an eye are are Guillen and Floyd. If Guillen keeps on doing what he did last year, he's worth a spot. Floyd could rebound, but don't worry about it yet.
3. Closers are ok. I would drop Jackson, unless this is a keeper league, and pick up Meche.
