Not bad, even though alot of your bats are made of paper mache. Berkman, Hamilton, Utley are all injury concerns. You need to drop Posada and pick up the best available catcher. Possibly Avila or Ariencibia if they are there. I think youve got a high ceiling on offense, but most of them are underperforming this season, ie Dunn, Jeter, Pena, Hunter.

Avila is definitely not available. Wish he was. Posada has a 3 game hitting streak going lol. If there was a suitable replacement I would be all over it. Still holding out hope. Penas been on fire the last 2-3 weeks.

You are to heavy on HR and RBI, so you will probably find yourself losing in Runs and SB's most weeks and fighting over batting average. Pena and Dunn are bad Util's for you, they add to the production you already have.

You can go in two directions with this team: T
1) Try to upgrade a lot in the steals/runs area and become competitive there balancing out your roster.
2) Decide you don't need runs and steals, and go get some average guys so you can win most weeks 3-2(Hitting)

Either way, Get rid of Dunn or Pena and start more guys like Polanco

Actually believe it or not I am second in my 12 team league in batting average.Guys like michael young ,polanco ,berkman and joyce have driven my average up. I am usually competitive in runs. And yes I lose stolen bases most of the time but my philosophy has always been not to worry about steals. I just traded tori hunter for geovany soto who comes off the DL this weekend so that should help my catching situation. Theres no way I can't play adam dunn. He's bound to snap out of it.
