so what do you guys think?
Love the offense. Excellent balance of all 5 categories. The pitching though...to be brutally honest...sucks. Peavy is great and Gallardo has great upside. You should rack up tons of saves....but Garland? You're going to struggle to rack up wins and strikeouts.
Gordon Beckham??? Granted, he's been tearing it up in ST and could play in the bigs very soon, but wow...
Your starting pitching is next to nonexistent, and you have an overabundance of all power, low AVG guys.
Becham was 25 rounder and I read that he could have a chanced:pQuote:

Yeah, Beckham will make his debut this year, but I don't expect more than 50-100 at bats, at best, barring injury.
Don't forget Fields and Hafner.Quote:

Nice lineup, and your relief crew is ridiculous. Like Houston said, though, your starting pitching looks weak...ESPECIALLY if Peavy keeps taking losses pitching for a bad team.
In honnor of MG i am claiming John Maine for my 4th Starter and dropping Zieglar
Don't mean to take away your thunder Jaker, but I didn't want to start a separate thread.
But what about mine? Any advice? Who should I keep, drop? etc...

Very impressive, D.J. ...you should challenge other guys to put together their faves, and have u all play it out in a league, or something....Quote:

Iunno, I do have some high risks, but I also have a lot of players that you know will put up numbers.
Tex
Fielder
Gonzalez
Upton (Had to list him, because last year he was injured)
Beltran
Hunter
Eithier
Sabathia
Lackey
Marmol
Fuentes
Only players that I would consider high risks are:
Posada/Napoli (C)
Weeks (2B)
Reynolds (3B)
Sanchez (2B)
Gallardo (P)
Young (P)
And then the rest might not be sure things, but will more than likely put up solid enough numbers.
It's a nice team, koolzach. It's impossible to be definitely 'good' everywhere, and you don't tend to win without a few gambles anyway.
Ya, I agree... The high risk players that I did draft have a high upside, and I tend to think that most of them will pan out well; however, I am a little iffy on Weeks.Quote:
