Any help with what you think is very much appreciated. Thank you. Have I got a great offensive team that will outscore my bad outfield range or just a bunch of strike outs that will only keep up with my errors. I know my middle relief is bad but hoping that Lackey and Wang keep them at bay. :? The other parks in my division are RFK, Kauffman and Great American Ballpark. Thank you in advance for anything you can help me with. :)

1)Sp's-first three are good. The last two need to go IMO. I probably am one of the few who has tried both of them in a rotation. Hudson got shelled in a pitching park and Park will similary get hammered anywhere, nevermind your home park. I would rather have a guy like Moyer than either of those two.
2)RP's-Your Rp's mostly seem to have a RH bias while your park has a LH bias. I know the quality LH relievers are few and far between, but I would get one or two. At least the Japanese guy($1.25) or Feliziano, Ohman, etc.
3)Hitters-I like Castillo, but not in your park. I would also go for more power at 1B if possible. I think you can do better at C also. Your middle "D" is very good. I have played two fours in the corners and won. They have to be very good offensively to get away with it IMO, and your guys are.

I've seen Lackey put up good #'s anywhere he plays, but Wang has been inconsistent in league that I've been in.

Capuano has been used a bit, more in a neutral to pitching park with mixed results as well.

Sooo...if you don't expect too much from a #4 starter, he ain't half bad.

Pen looks OK.

Hitting:
I tend to agree with what durantjerry says.


Good luck,

I have dropped Overbay and picked up Delgado. I had Delgado first but thought I might need a better BA and defense. I looked for the reliever DJ suggested but he is gone. I have ran out of time but will look for other options when I get home tonight. Thank you again for your time. :D
