Rate my fantasy baseball team?
First of all I would like to say you played your draft pretty well. Now for the player breakdown:





Molina- a catcher with declining numbers...what a suprise. Molina is just one old guy on a roster full of them in San Fran. You can still expect 15 HRs from him maybe, but an on base percentage around .300


Rodriguez- while this may seem like a very good pick, based on name alone...it isnt as reliable as it used to be. Almost all of him numbers have been on the decline since the 2004 season. Dont look for much power out of him this season, less than 10 home runs, and about 70 runs scored and RBIs


Lee- expect a better performance this year then in the years past. He seems to have recovered from his injuries and you can expect him to gain more confidence and starting knocking them out like he used to...30+ HRs and near 100 RBIs and runs scored


Johnson- .285 average, 100+ runs scored, 20 HRs, and a few stolen bases on the side


Cabrera- third best third baseman in the league, .333 average, 110+ runs scored and RBIs, 30+ RBIs


Renteria- not much offense left in him...10 HRs top, 100 runs scored still, 50+ RBIs


Abreu- his numbers have been on the decline as of late...but you can still expect a near .300 average, about 100 RBIs and runs, and a decent amount of HRs


Griffey- .275 average, topping off at near 25 home runs, and no more than 75 RBIs and runs scored


Guillen- .280 average, 75 runs scored, 85 RBIs, 20 home runs, and an on base percentage near .350


Hunter- .275 average, near 100 RBIs and runs scored, and still 25 homeruns or so


Suzuki- mostly known for his quickness and not for his power, expect nearly 50 steals, and over 100 runs scored...but less then 10 HRs and maybe 50 RBIs


Delgado- Another old man in your line-up. His best years are certainly behind him. He will still get you 25 HRs and about 80 RBIs/runs


Thome- his first base skills are limited lately...but he is still a very dependable DH. He has is power still and uses it as his main threat. expect 30+ home rune again this season


Chamberlain- it is quite possible that you may see the young fellow in a starter role and outside of the bullpen, where ever he ends up, expect 10+ wins, and the possibility of 150+ strikeouts if he becomes a starter


Cordero- Do not expect the usual number from Cordero this year. The Nationals are expected to move into a new stadium this season...a smaller stadium then the one they are in now. What does this mean for Cordero? An even higher ERA, more walks, and more hits. Maybe 30 saves this season on a Nationals team that may win 70 or so. A super high ERA and a lower strike out to walk ratio could mean trouble for fantasy owners.


Marcum- The fourth pitcher in Toronto's rotation...and his numbers will show that he is no top thrower. A low strike out to walk ratio and a possibly very high ERA will lead to a low amount of wins and a low amount of fantasy points.


Peavy- possibly the second best starter in the majors, near 20 wins, over 200 strike outs, and an ERA near 3.00


Percival- Another playe on your roster who is starting to feel his age. At 38, Percival's numbers may be on the decline again this year. Expect around 20 saves in a limited amount of playing time...and a near 3.50 ERA as mostly a closer.


Sabathia- also near 20 wins, a little under 200 strike outs, just a slightly higher ERA (near 3.50)


Saito- to some he is an unexpected top ten relief pitcher. Last yearr he was able to hold hitters to an abismal .151 average. Look for more of the same from the young closer. An ERA hovering and sometimes dropping below 2.00, 40+ saves, and a strike out to walk ration of near 4-to-1.


Wainwright- im not sure in the Cards made a good decision, with the move out of the bullpen, but i guess we will find out. He might not reach 15 wins and may post a near 4.00 ERA...but on a good note he may have a decent strike out to walk ratio


Wang- his numbers werent that great last year, and unfortunately, his number wont be that great this year. He may break 15 wins, but his other stats may not be pretty. Possibly, as ERA near 4.00 and an average of over a hit per inning pitched.





Overall...your team gets about a 6.5 out of 10. You dont really have a catcher to speak of. A lot of the pitchers you o have are getting up in age, but luckily Sabathia and Peavy will put up some good numbers. You do have a decent amount of offense, but with nine other teams in the league, you may be lucky to get 5th place





Goodluck with the rest of the season though
Reply:thats a pretty good line up=)
Reply:Whoa! Awesome team! How did you get tose amazing players all in one draft?! You have some sweet hitters and some pretty good pitching. Of 10, it gets an 8. Nice Job!
