CaptAM, I like your team a lot! :D You can drop CJ Wilson as he is completly dead weight. That would give you about 1.3M to upgrade somewhere. I don't have a suggestion on where that might be but I'm sure you can find someplace.

Excellent team.

Too much pitching, not enough LH power.

I am with durantjerry here.

I don't like your team so much. I find that you are lacking offense and that you have too much pitching for Ameriquest.

I don't know what's left in the FA pool, but I would definitively dump some starting pitchers for better offensive players. I would target Utley, Varitek (Valentin as second choice) and a powerful cf (Edmonds, Griffey, or Sizemore, in order of preference). I would also try to get a real on-base player, probably a right-handed hitter to balance for the lefty bats---perhaps Jeter, Ellis, or Polanco. Of course, a lefty bat with power and great on-base like Giambi can also be effective. In any case, you need better on-base, and better slugging from the middle field (c, 2b, ss, cf).

If you stick with the current roster, I would at least dump Burnett and potentially Glavine for SPs who don't have the star.

How does this look. Would picking up Milton Bradley for centerfield be a good move?http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/stratomatic/2006/team/team_other.html?user_id=6784
