Wow. Some buddies of mine were playing online and I got the itch to play again. That being said, any opinions on this team- I play at Turner, and havehttp://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/stratomatic/2007/team/team_other.html?user_id=6672 another Turner, Busch and U.S. Cell. Thanks for any input.

Not too bad of a team you have there, especially after your hiatus.

A few things though...

1. A hard RHSP will give you fits though. Too many righty bats.

2. To go with point #1 some more, you are going to hit LH's much better than RH's. Not a bad lineup IF you have 10 LHSP's in your division. BUT, chances are you will see RH's 75% of the time. And like I said above...

3. I've never seen Crede do well...anywhere.

4. I'd like to see more OB in your lineup.

Some ideas:

You could move Vlad, Wells, Soriano and/or Crede to get some OB. Obviously do not move them all, but you need some lefty/switchy guys who will set the table for the middle of the lineup.

Thanks. I was able to get Lowell in place of Crede and I think that should be a pretty decent upgrade. Looking at about 5 LHP that are starters in the division and probably won't see them all of the time. I'm a little hesitant about keeping Wells for my CF but I love that 1 out there. Thought about letting him go, move Crawford to CF and have Soriano play LF and pick up Mauer, but my defense would just right down the drain.
I do appreciate the input though. It's nice to get back in and see all of the chatter. I've missed it.

Mauer is a free agent? :shock: :lol:

If he is, you need him on this team somehow... :wink:
