Rate my team, how did I do pick wise?

[Guest]

12 team roto on yahoo. Here's what I got and the round I got them in:

C Lo Duca, Paul (10)
1B Klesko, Ryan (7)
2B Castillo, Luis (8)
3B Rolen, Scott (5)
SS Aurilia, Rich (13)
OF Pujols, Albert (2)
OF Suzuki, Ichiro (3)
OF Stewart, Shannon (12)
Util Erstad, Darin (15)
Bench Ramirez, Aramis (18)
Bench Kotsay, Mark (21)

Pitchers:

SP Martinez, Pedro (1)
SP Lowe, Derek (4)
RP Foulke, Keith (9)
RP Julio, Jorge (14)
P Maddux, Greg (6)
P Clement, Matt (11)
P Lawrence, Brian (16)
Bench Stewart, Scott (17)
Bench Penny, Brad (19)
Bench Contreras, Jose (20)

I hate having 2 pitchers in my first 4 picks, but Lowe in the 4th round I thought was a steal (hell, I thought having pedro + pujols in the first 2 was a good deal).

Anyhow, I think my power numbers will be off, but I should be good on avg and steals. Any trades I should be making here?

I'm nervous about your two Boston pitchers. Lowe may not equal last year's stats and Pedro can hit the IR at any given time. I would look for some cheap backup SP's if possible.

I would also try to find a backup for Lo Duca or get new bench players. Ramirez could be awesome, or he could keep sliding. Your outfield will tear it up though!

Are there any particular trades I should be looking at making with this team?

I believe my weakness to be my outfield(stewart is so-so) and SS. The league seems to be ripe for trade offers, but I have no ideas here.

You're pitching is very deep with Contreras and Penny on the bench. I would either trade one of your elite starters for another power hitter or combine Penny or Contreras with one of your suspect position players, like Stewart or Castillo for a bigger hitter in those spots possibly someone like Boone at second could be had for the right deal in that situation.
