Playing in US Cellular as I understand it as a somewhat more experienced rookie, is about utilizing your high Ball Park home run number, which you don't fully. I would have as many players as possible have 8 bphr. with maybe one singles guy. Matheny is a waste. Figgins and Jackson are nice plyersm but i would not have more than one in my ballpark. Kotsya does not have enough power. I don't know who is available in your league, but i would drop Lee ( his extra homers are just overkill) and use the bucks to get as many positions wtih power as possible, and upgrade you starters, i actually think your relief is OK. Some players i would look for are, Barajas, or Valentin at C, even Fasano. With J Molina, or Olivo in a platoon. Glaus or Ramirez at third. there are a tom of power hittes in outfield and at first. D is not important at first, use Konerko there and you have more flexibility at DH. Look for a low OB staarter with few BPHR's. If possible get a better left handed reliever, starting 3 righties, you will be likely to face lefty packed lineups.
Hope this helps
