First thing that strikes me is that it's a good balance of High BA guys and BA liabilities that will provide good counting stats. Smart move imo. You are going to need Heyward to pan out...or make a trade for some more power imo.

You pitching on the other hand kind of scares me. If Ubaldo doesn't repeat...and Hamels never finds his 08 stuff....it could be a long season for you.

Pitching is solid....your hitting is going to be an issue. You really don't have a single legit power hitter.

You're basically punting batting average....but your counting stats should be really solid.

Pitching is good with a fair bit of upside.

[LikeAMachine]

First let me say that this is the 9th year of this KEEPER league and my keepers were Martinez, Pujols, Hernandez, Hughes and Broxton. This league is a head to head Auction draft cap of $360, On base plus slugging league and the pitching was CRAZY over priced....and yes, I do have Arod and Pujols, lolz

12 team head to head

Ok, so there is always one team who overbids on all of the pitching, so I missed out and they have like 14 pitchers. No way they keep them all so they will drop some for me to snag. Also, do to a draft SNAFU (drafted too many players) Erik Bedard had to be dropped, so I have a waiver in for him. I will probably drop Vernon Wells or Travis Snyder to add a pitcher. Since Volquez is on DL I can add Bedard without dropping anyone.

in a predicament - i have russel martin and he's looking shaky to start the season due to injury.

on the bench i have;
eric aybar - homer pick that i refuse to let go
kasey magahee - starting at 3rd
nick swisher - good numbers
dexter fowler - my steals guy off the bench
alberto callaspo - he's gonna start at 3rd with gordon hurt

who am i to drop to pick up A.J. pierzynski? really it's between magahee and callaspo, but i cannot decide between the 2.

Wow strong pitchers, huh?

[Pad264]

This is a competitive 14-team Head to Head league, 7x7, with the base 5x5 + OPS, Offensive K's, Loses, and Innings Pitched as the additional four categories.

C: Matt Wieters
1B: Prince Fielder
2B: Scott Sizemore
3B: Ryan Zimmerman
SS: Derek Jeter
OF: Carlos Lee
OF: Jay Bruce
OF: Julio Borbón
Util: Billy Butler

Bench: Juan Pierre

SP: Jon Lester
SP: Brett Anderson
SP: Rich Harden
SP: Clay Buchholz
SP: Max Scherzer
SP: Scott Kazmir
SP: Brad Bergesen

RP: Francisco Rodríguez
RP: Trevor Hoffman
RP: Matt Lindstrom
RP: Ryan Madson (Starting Closer; Lidge is hurt)

Bench: Brad Lidge (Expected to be moved to DL soon)

Since IP is a category, I'll play as many SP as I need to win that category, but since I have seven, I expect I can be weary of the weaker ones in tough matchups (most people have 5-6 starters on their roster). Pierre also will probably spend a good deal of time in my lineup, but it'll depend on the matchup and the steals I need each week.

Overall, I love my offense, though it terrifies me to play a rookie at 2nd (some fool in the league took Polanco as a backup 2nd fairly early and I was left with no options...). The biggest concern will obviously be my pitching...after Lester and Anderson, my staff is a huge lump of question marks, especially Buchholz, Kazmir and Bergesen. Fortunately, I was able to steal a lot of closers late in the draft, so I expect I should win Saves most weeks if I'm running four closers.

So, in addition to my 14-team league, I'm doing a 10-team H2H league with 11 Categories -- OPS is the extra one, so pitching is demphisized obviously. Even so, pitching flew off the board at a ridiculous rate and I stuck with drafting offense.

RP: Octavio Dotel

It might be the best offense I've ever drafted. I also ended up with the most SP, whereas everyone else went for offensive bench depth. My plan is to simply bombard opponents with SP so I can win Wins and K's every week. I'll likely lose ERA and WHIP most weeks, but I should win saves most weeks if I maintain four closers. On the offensive side, I expect to win the majority of categories every week as well since no other offense in the league is nearly as good as mine. It seems flawless to me, haha.

What do you guys think?

So I added Erik Bedard, dropped Jake Westbrook and added Barry Zito. I also dropped Okajima and Dotel for Ryan Madson and Matt Thornton.

Someone dropped Carlos Zambrano and I have a waiver claim in for him.


Anyone want to critique this team?
