It looks pretty good. You've got some questions marks, but then again - Who doesn't?





IF - Hall repeats his 2006 campaign, Blalock's shoulder surgery was a success and he can start driving the ball, and Sheffield can stay on the field: You have a pretty impressive offensive team. However, I scratch my head at why you've got David Eckstein? Either you're a Cardinals fan and need a rooting interest, or you think he'll produce? Either way I would consider dropping him. If it is middle infeld depth you seek, I would suggest the following sleepers:





Troy Tulowitzki, SS, COL


Bobby Crosby, SS, OAK


Khalil Greene, SS, SD


Dustin Pedroia, 2B/SS, BOS


Placido Polanco, 2B, DET





All of the above will out-produce Mr. Eckstein 3 fold, IMO.





Pitching wise - You'll be okay if Weaver is healthy. Josh Johnson, however, Is a guy to drop - He is having major arm troubles and, I believe, is going to under-go some pretty big time surgery.. He will not help your team.





Harden is going to be a monster.





Overall - Nice job!
Reply:Not so hot man. To be honest your pitching is a little weak and you have a decent offense. Good luck.
Reply:I would drop Cameron (strke out king) move Blake to OF and Blalock to UTIL. Other than that offensively your straight. Pitching is ok, its not one of the best I've seen, but considering your offfense you did well.
Reply:I'm assuming this is a 12 team league. You have some great pitching with Peavy, Sabathia, and Fransisco Rod. I believe that Weaver will have a setback this year, as MLB hitters will have figuered him out over the offseason. I would try to trade him for Jeremy Bonderman or cain. You will probably win in K's, Sv's and WINS about every week. You will win ERA and WHIP about half the time. Now for your hitting, you have a lot of steals in that team. I would drop Blake and Eckstein and pick up A. Gonzales and Troy Tulowitz. Your hitting I would put Blalock (Adrian Gonzales over Blalock if you get him) in over Blake. Your team can be very good if you just get rid of some of the players that wont really benifit your team. If you make these few tweaks to your team it is a 4/5 in pitching and a 4/5 in hitting, 8/10. Good Luck.

A KC reliever? Really?
