How is my basetball team?

Reply:6.5, need better closers.
Reply:Really good---ill give you an 8 out of 10


just update your team regularly and playoffs for you my friend
Reply:It's a solid team, and I'd give it a 7/10.





C - Lo Duca is not a good option to start here. He's never been a great fantasy catcher, and he's getting very old and injury-prone.


1B - Fielder is a powerhouse and should hit 50+ homeruns.


2B - Pedroia is solid, but good for BA and runs.


SS - Tejada is alright.


3B - Lowell is solid, but don't expect numbers like last year.


OF - Soriano is a legit 40/40 threat, and Rios is a 20/20 threat. Victorino will also help for steals.


Util - Helton is great for BA, but he's no longer the homerun hitter he used to be. Dye has power too.


Bench - Theriot is versatile and good for SB's, and Hill is a good backup. I'm not a fan of Glaus or Anderson because they are aging and injury-prone.





SP - Beckett is an ace and Lackey is great, but it's not great other than that. Wainwright, Lowe, and Gorzelanny are solid, and Garza is a sleeper. Meche is decent too.


RP - Cordero is not a good closer because he's inconsistent and blows many saves. Plus, he just moved to a hitter's ballpark, so expect an inflated ERA and WHIP. Shields and Bell will help keep your ERA down and are great for holds.





I'd drop Springer and I'd trade away Cordero for another closer. You should really add another closer as well. I'd also trade away Glaus and Anderson.





Hope I helped!
Reply:Unfortunately, none of those guys play basketball (as far as I know). If you mean baseball, then your offense is pretty good. But your pitching staff in a 12 team league is fairly weak. If it were a 16 team league, then okay, you could probably get by with one closer. But I think you need more help in that department.
