Ultey or Grudzniak at 2b. Am playing in US Cellular. Already have 3's at cf -griffey and 3b- Cabrerra. Rest of teams are defensive 2's with 1 at 1b.
Pitching is low budget, though non gopher ball
Also have a chance to get A. Dunn, but have Texaria at first. Is it ever acceptable to start a LF-4? (now have Jason lane.)
MANY THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
here is a link to my team

Sleep,
The correct way to post a team link is to go to the league statistics page, right click on your team's name, copy the link and post it here.

First glance...Not bad. Lose the 3 in CF, it'll hurt more than help. Usually one 4 in the OF is no big deal. I'd also lose Lidle his card is ripe for getting ripped apart by hitters.

Quite feasibly you could lose Lane, play Dunn in the OF and DH ARam.
A couple of personal opinions

If you can get Utley for 2B, get him. Personally I don't like Lane. Tex is over=priced, I think downgrade at 1B and get a little better starting pitching. Glavine as a #1 will get killed. Try to find a few better value starters. Depending on Division mates Penny, Washburn, J. Vargas and Pete Walker are some of my favorite cheapo SP's.
Also, I don't mind Griffey's "3" in CF, but what I would do is try and find either another CF or a CF platoon to go with Griffey, either having them as your DH or Griffey at DH. Your DH's position should be that of an injury prone player, rather than 3B like you have it, because Cabrera is an over 600 plate appearance guy.
With 3+ million left....

...you should cut one of your SP's and invest that 3 million in a better one. Or upgrade 3 with approximately 1 million each added.
