Standard 12 teamer, 5x5. SP/SP/RP/RP/P/P. H2H Yahoo settings, in other words.

I figured I could take Dunn's hit in average because I had grabbed so many solid AVG hitting players. That allowed me to make up the lost power from crawford/ichiro.

Is this a bad strategy? I like it, but I'm trying to make sure I'm not forgetting power.

I think you have a solid offense. Except for Chavez. There's been a lot of talk of a rebound, but show me the money.

Solid 4 pitchers, but then you have a string on fliers, has beens and unprovens. That areas needs the most improvement.

This is a twelve team league. I'm comfortable with 4 solid starters. If I were to have more, I'd have to sacrifice a lot of other strengths.

I just like coming out of the first ten rounds with at least 6 or 7 hitters (usually one RP and 2-3 SP). I build my staff from there.

Thanks though. I suppose I'm higher on Chavez than most, but I'm not concerned about him at all. Worst comes to worst, I'll be able to grab a 3man during the year (kouz, marte, etc)

The team looks really good, between Dunn, Hafner, and Laroche you should be fine in power (not to mention players like Weeks and Crawford could belt out 20). I would pick up another closer but thats about it. Thats the only advice I can really give at this point because you picked up great upside to back up your rotation. Good job!

I reached on Julio--should have gone for a RP who might develop into a closer by the playoffs. Maybe a guy like Gonzalez or Broxton?

Between Gonzalez and Broxton I would go after Broxton.
