I have this team for Coors and it starts tonight and the waivers ran yesterday so not much time to tweak. Any thoughts? I am looking at this lineup:

1). Pujols- 1B (R)
2). Wright- 3B (R)
3). Abreu- RF (L)
4). Howard- DH (L)
5). Martin- C (R)
6). Cano- 2B (L)
7). Crawford- LF (L)
8). Reyes- SS (S)
9). Willits- CF (S)

You need a deeper pen in quantity and quality to win at Coors. Should be 7 deep, including a s/r at .50 cents and a 4 man rotation. Total of 11 pitchers. And your top 3 relievers need to have salaries around 3-4. A 2nd .50 cent garbage reliever is ok too as a money saving move. Your offense is excellent, but I'd dump R.Martin in a money saving gesture as you tweak your bullpen. That great defense is simply wasted a bit in Coors compared to a pitchers park. Do you really need Crawford's sb's in that park also? Your team is lefty-heavy which as a rule I like but make sure your opposing divisional starters are about 3/4 righty before standing pat. Coors can be a tough fun park, good luck.

Caveat: my current Coors tour team is getting obliterated, but I've had a lot of success historically with the above Coors formula.

my head hurts looking at that lineup..... :lol:

Really Pujols 1st and Abreu 3rd? really??

I'm not going to comment on the pitching staff because I've had no success this year using cheap pitching.

but the lineup.....

vs L

Willits
Martin
Wright
Pujols
Cano
Crawford
Reyes
Howard
Abreu

vs R

Willits
Wright
Pujols
Howard
Cano
Crawford
Abreu
Reyes
Martin

there's still to be said about a 3 in CF with a 4 in RF. Since you planned Willits to bat 9th originally, why not get a cheap defender? Abreu really isn't very good, I'd much rather move Willits to Rf and get a Def CF. Your team is much better vs LH pitching as well, would love to see that the other way if possible. Maybe since you're fine with a 3 in CF move Abreu for T Redman (or maybe the w is too much of a drawback here?)?

Well I'm sure there are options, but there is my .02

Reyes IMHO seems to be a logical choice to downgrade actually, IF there is a cheap def SS left (visquel, mcdonald... maybe furcal).

In my Division there are 24 RHP and 8 LHP. Overall in the league (Not including me) there are 83 RHP's and 33 LHP. SGT D

25% LHP is about the norm (since there are no more Hard core LH parks). Not enough to have your team BETTER vs L than R. It really needs to be the other way around (better vs RH).

Personal preferences for my Coors Teams:

(a) no more than two ballpark homers on a side for my pitchers
(b) prefer four-man starting rotation averaging about 2.5 million each
(c) prefer a stud closer with no ballpark singles
(d) two excellent setup men with salaries between 3 to 5 million
(e) select starters with lots of groundball A
(f) select relievers with lots of strikeouts

(e) maximum defense at SS, 2B, and CF just like any other park
(f) will never start an outfielder with a range of 4
(g) everyone, including the batboy, should have normal homerun power to make the opposing pitchers pay for their mistakes
