Ok, some thoughts on this team. One thing however. I don't do too many Non-DH leagues so this will be a bit different for me.
Team rates 1835. That's not that great, not horrible. Maybe it's pretty good w/o a DH. However, I'm a bit surprised you're doing as well as you're doing. Then again, I haven't seen the rest of your division.
Rotation is solid. I like those guys. You're a little underspent in pitching however, especially for a non-dh league.
Pen is ok. You have no 2 SR guys and that's probably why you're getting a LOT of IP from Beimel and Chulk. Ideally, you'd want to get more IP from Broxton & Nathan than Burton.
Lineup. Well, with the money you spent on hitting, you'd hope it would be good. You do hit the ball well with a 900 hit rating against both. Your D is very weak however. That's not going to help your already average pitching. You're in a good injury position with only Ankiel and McCann subject to long injuries.
OB is a low, but you have a lot of power and good clutch. I bet you hit a fair number of solo shots. Your lineup v LHP is very LH'ed so you'll have trouble with hard LHSP.
Bench. Not sure why you have Gordon with Atkins low injury situation. Would have been better to spend a mil on a guy who could play v LHP for Atkins or for an OF for when Ankiel goes down for a long spell.
In short, I would have suggested that you spend a big more on pitching (and have at least one 2 SR RP). Better D. I wouldn't play Ankiel in CF surrounded by a 4 and a 3. That, plus a very weak RH side of your infield and a 4 at 3b. Ugh. Lousy D. I would have liked to see a little more OB too.
Just my thoughts. Looks like you're doing OK so far.

Joe, would love to get your thoughts & rating on this team, I think overall its pretty balanced,but very open to critiques. Murphy is dh & I will be platooning ss & 3b.

[quote:5c55ff099f="joethejet"].[quote:5c55ff099f]How do you get a rating of your team? I am new and wanted to see how my team rates.[/quote:5c55ff099f]
Um, well, that's just a little method I use in conjunction with my rating system.
If you want to post a team, on a different thread, I'll give it a rating when I get a chance.

If you have time Joe, I will take you up on rating my team. As of the date of this post, I am currently in first place and have been for most of the young season. Thanks in advance.

**When you look at my Outfield based on Def, Pat Burrell is my DH**

Correction for Madigan who told me that Aybar is playing SS. That improves the D at SS, but playing Avilies at 3b along with Aybar is actually worse overall on D.
Rating does improve with Morrow in the pen, but I'm afraid you're still going to get more IP out of Byrak and Loe than you really want.
I'll try to get to the klx team soon.

sorry for the delay, but when I'm busy and doing them for free, it can take a little time....
OK, Klx
Team rates between 2050 and 2100. I'm not sure how your pen is going to play out so that's the variability. You're sitting the with one R2 so he's going to pitch a lot. Not sure how many IP you're goign to get out of Saito so that's the variability. Team should compete fine.
lineup: I'm not sure why you have Dobbs and Branyan. I guess because of Branyan's injuryl. also, Gonzalez/Bartlett is probably a little bit of overkill. I would have gone with Gonz and a lesser backup probably.
You're suseptible to injury with only 2 guys with 600 PA.
O v RHP is hot and cold. 5 good bats, one pretty good and 3 meh bats. Ob is low, power hot and cold with 3 W bats.
O v LHP is more balanced, but not overwhelming. 3 W bats.
D is average overall.
Rotation is solid, don't know why you didn't have lincecum start your first game.
Pen is weak overall, but I like Sherill and rodney. Probably would have had a 2 SR guy instead of Saito with those guys in the pen.
As I said, I think Dobbs and Bartlett are overkill.
Needed more OB and fewer W bats, especially playing in US Cell.
Might be hard to improve unless you're in a sliding waiver price league. If so, you might be able to imporve by moving bartlett or Dobbs (or Murphy if you want to keep Dobbs) Any of them might have trade value too so I'd ask around first.
Guess that's about it off the top of my head.

Thx very much for the input. Lincecum didnt start the first game for me because, he came available late & I had halladay & forget to insert him into the rotation. In the process, I got a hell of a start out of Jason Hammel! IM sure that was just luck. As far as dobbs, I had branyan in my 1st 08 league & he was hurt every other series so, for the money he seemed like a decent backup. The bartlett/gonzo ss combo still only nets 5 million, so I thought of it still as a cheap decent ss duo. Upon receiving your advice, I have dropped barlett picked up crosby & with the extra cash dropped saito & grabbed an additional R2 in jim johnson. Thx again!
