I am in a 12 team league

[Super GM]

To be honest, your team is pretty shaky. It needs some work.

Lets go through it:

Pitching staff: Schilling is a lock, Miller too if he stays healthy, Damian Moss should do pretty good in pitchers park Pac Bell, Eaton is promising but streaky and risky, Peavy should have a breakout year, can't tell ya that much aobut the rest of your staff, cause I don't now those guys to well. But your relievers should be fine.

Let's get to you hitting: This is where I see your biggest problems.

Ausmus is ok. (Average)
Tino Martinez is not worthy of being in your lineup. See if you can get Aubrey Huff.
Vina is off to a slow start but is still a solid 2nd baseman with low fantasy value.
Batista...hmm....He hits a lot of HR if he's healthy, but is batting average will kill you. See if you can get Joe Crede or Eric Hinske.
Vazquez is no threat either. You definitely need to improve. I think Alex Sanchez would be and Jose Hernandez, if he's available. Your outfiled looks ok. the only thing that bothers me there is Richard Hidalgo. He's literally "shot". See if you can find Austin Kearns or Vernon Wells. Matsui and whichever Jones you have (chipper, andruw) should be fine. I just looked at your bench and saw Junior Spivey. I would play him instead of Vina. Overbay could be interesting. Yo might wanna get rid of Endy Chavez and Nady and add Teixeira and Blalock. Or if you desperately need speed Dave Roberts. Both Teixeira and Blalock will likely outpreform Matt Williams. You don't happen to be a D'backs fan? Cause you sure do carry a bunch of D'backs. Hope this was of some help for you. good luck!

i must agree w/the last post. your starters are super at the top of the order (although schilling is looking human already), but your offense needs work.

here is a list of excellent, available (most likely) players i think could help you out -
