Other Team Cheats, Is Mine Still Better?!?!?! WHIR!!!

[Joshiroth]

another team in my league either pulled a fast one and has 2 teams or the other teams manager is a complete idiot and just doesn't care, but the one who pulled the fast one got A-Rod, Magglio Ordonez and Fielder in a trade for Carlos Gomez, Scherzer and Fukudome, so you can understand my being pissed lol . Anyway my other question is whether my team is stronger or not and who has an advantage for certain stats. Based on what I've seen I think 1st place will probably be between him and I and possibly one other team, thats the main reason I'm asking. I'm also in the midst of trying to get Napoli for my Longoria to upgrade at catcher and Howard for my Beltre and Bradley to boost my offense.

My Team:

CI Adrián Béltre (Sea - 3B)

Thanks for all the Help

The first thing that pops out with your team is that your strength is in your pitching staff. Your core group of starters are excellent and should continue to produce for you as well as your two relievers. That being said, your offense needs some work. I like your idea of trading for Napoli as I'm not a big Varitek fan but you may want to consider someone other than Longoria. In the long run I think Longoria will produce more than Napoli (and this is coming from a big Napoli fan.) I would also look to bolster your offense, specifically your OF. Why is your MI slot empty by the way?

All things considered, his team definitely has the advantage in my opinion. There are very few holes there although as you said, this may be due to some shady dealing.

Please take a look at mine:
