[RuthMayBond]

It depends a LOT upon whether you're going up against two guys or a dozen :D but you're AWESOMELY solid at catcher and have a pretty good rotation and at least one NICE outfielder

[Zito75]

Who's closing?

I would look at getting some more depth in the infield. Vizquel and Hillenbrand won't cut it. Also, Swisher may not be eligible at 1B in some leagues.

SP and P don't matter if you switched them around.


This team is OK. My prediction for you is 3rd to 8th.

Looks like a solid team and you may have enough depth later in the year to trade for what you do need.

Great team! How many people are in your league?

[Sultan_1895-1948]

Great team! How many people are in your league?

Only 6.

I'm hopin I get Mauer. Already tried to pry Poo-holes away from one guy, but he ain't budgin' (understandably).

Do you think I should package Pedro with someone and try to get Santana? How does Petie usually perform in fantasy? Do his low inning totals have an effect? Any advice would be appreciated; first time doing this.

WOAH!!! You should have Duke and Schilling at Starting Pitcher. And Jeff Kent is now on the DL. Adam Dunn should replace Granderson at outfield. And put Josh Willingham at catcher!!

[holyroman]

what!! kent on the DL. what did he do get in a fist fight with a team mate?

[RuthMayBond]

Don't be ridiculous, it was with his car wash utensils :laugh

[holyroman]

i see where he got hit in the arm with a pitch, but i don't see any mention of the DL yet, but thats why I have biggio a pretty good backup
