Any ideas?

Played in Safeco more than anywhere else, but NEVER won a championship! Boone & Vinny C will KILL you in Safeco{BUT light up COORS}, Never liked Lilly {MANY people SWEAR by him}! Very good Pitchers for YOUR Stadium--Kennedy,Washburn,ERIC MILTON{GOOD in PETCO also} & Rogers{GOOD IN COORS also}. Durrazo and Lamb are excellent in Safeco! Hope this helps! :wink:

If your planning to hit in safeco, you wont hit much , your pitchers won"t win much either. you either must decide on one thing, hitting or pitching, lilly i love in safeco, used him before their many times, (14 teams playing at safeco). I should explain what i mean about hitting, DUNN is great for the homeruns, but thats about it, in safeco, you need hitters, that hit like the old cards teams , High obp, with very high Bavg, and they steal bases too, Beltran, Matsui, dunn, dont have it. and dont believe me if you dont want to. I know from the experience of using thoose players before. I find theese players work better, Casey, Beltre, helton( his ok, if you cant land huff, or casey). damon, Loretta, M.Young also, Jamie burke, is a steal in safeco, in addition, Giles, wont do much for you at his price very weak against lefties, you be better off going with s.Geen( cheaper and probably put just as good numbers as giles will). I prefer ichrio, but for some reason, he is probably gone. another good hitter that i like is rowand, figgins also is not to bad, icrhio, or rowand.

I hope this helps

for the suggestions.

My current lineup:
Giles
Easeley
Matsui
Dunn
Guillen (DH)
Castilla
Dejesus
Estrada
Everett

LHPlatoon:
Magruder
Bocachica
Merloni (DH)
Cintron

Should hit OK

IMHO-

I think you need a RH that's good at getting lefties out in that rotation.

A 3 day guy like Escobar would be nice, or guys like Ohka / W. Williams are useful. I also think you need a cheap hard RH, just in case you face a mostly righty team on the road.

My favorite hard RH's are Ortiz, Sosa and Hermanson.

Hitting wise:
It's always nice to have a lefty bat that hits lefties well. These guys are usually rare. Guys like Gload. A cheapie, DH ONLY, is L. Gonzo. (AZ Diamondbacks).

Easley should be replaced. Very over-priced IMHO.

Beltran don't steal? :shock: Who is that impostor on my team then?

Uhh...


Beltran is a AA stealer. FWIW.

Yep, that's one of two reasons why I wanted him.
