Can I defend my title(s) with this?

Overall I'm pretty happy with both teams. The first team is weak at shortstop, so I hedged my bets hoping either Crosby has a ROY season or Aurilia bounces back. If neither happens I'll look into trades. The only other area of concern there is SBs, as Soriano, D. Lee and Bradley are about the only guys that run, and Soriano and Lee will probably run a bit less this year.

The second team is solid all-around. I hope R. Soriano and K-Rod can get me enough holds, if not I'll drop Graves for another another set-up man or try to try a closer to create space for a set-up guy.

Anything else I'm missing or should be concerned about? Thanks. I look foward to checking out your teams as well.

Sounds like you've done a pretty good analysis of your teams. I really like your 'value picks' at closer (guys like Nathan, Cordero, Riske)...I presume you took those guys late. Very nice.

As for the Crosby/Aurilia deal...it seems that rookies tend to be kind of streaky. Aurilia will be solid - though not necessarily spectacular - for you in a good lineup. Ride Crosby when he's hot, and when he's not, you have a solid guy in Aurilia.

My two cents...
