I slapped this team together in about 15 minutes. I haven't done any detailed analysis of the cards or anything, so I have no idea about this team. It's a standard $80 mil, DH team. Starts tonight.

C - Estrada
1B - Laroche
2B - Hill
3B - ARod
SS - Tejada
LF - Soriano
CF - Suzuki
RF - Delmon Young
DH - Hillenbrand/Lamb platoon

Rotation

Villaneuva
Sheets
Chris Young
James
Nieve

Closer - Joe Nathan
Set-up - Luis Vizcaino

Home park - Fenway

I'd like to a link to the team, so I can check out everything before making a ton of comments - my first 2007 team just started play tonight, so I don't know exactly how well each card can be expected to work out.

I do, however, see one glaring weakness - the defense on the left side of your infield, with A-Rod and Tejada, could combine for 50+ errors. If that's something you're willing to risk, by all means.

Speaking from 2007 Fenway experience I can say that your home park hitting numbers should be solid. Lamb is a hidden gem for power hitting. Your pitching looks a little shaky, but I admit that I'm not that familiar with 3 of those guys. I just know who is currently working for me (and who I had to dump to get to guys that work).

...by showing their performance through 6 games.
