This team is post draft, pre waivers so it is by no means set!!
Teams in my division are Yankee, Dodger, and Angel Stadiums

Hey Bodie...wassup?
Looks like the back end of your rotation could use some help as well as your pen.
Mauer, Lee and Roberts are a good foundation but the rest looks iffy.
I'm assuming Sanchez is gonna DH right?
SS, 3B vs. RH's and RF could use help.

I am looking for a lefty starter,
Sabathia and Mulder are still FA, so may go for one of them, to help out.
La Troy is going away so is Tomo Ohka.
Blaylock, Greene, and Alou are also going away (trade or Drop)
Furcal, Duffy and Michaels are all FA's so I should be ok there if I get lucky. Trying to trade for Figgins for 3b???? Don't know if that will happen.

Your FA plan sounds solid and your offense looks great. Considering your park and your divisional stadiums, why not pursue more of the low-whip high-BPRH pitchers?

I will be doing that too,
I was looking at Radke and a few others, trying to get Lowry for my lefty in a trade, but will try to stick with the cheap pitchers. I will have to do some work there, but I think I can do most of that after waivers considering the pitchers I will be looking for will be still there.
I am interested to see what comes available.

There probably are owners who have used him to close,but I haven't.
I've never really seen great #'s from him in a pitchers park.

His WHIP is 1.10, I figured that would be good in a Pitchers park.
I haven't used him except at MM, and he is lights out.

I was just looking at my division too, and it is extremely slanted towards Right Handed hitters.
I will have to face Ortiz, Griffey, Floyd, N. Johnson, Matzsui, Damon, Wilkerson. Those are only lefties that are worth anything prior to Waivers.
All of the teams in my Division are Newbies too, as a matter of fact, Fillies2 and DavidSousa are only teams with more Manager Points in League.
6 of 12 teams look like they are playing first or 2nd teams.
