how will this team do?

I think I need another RH bat so that I don;t see a steady diet of hard lefty's and i'm unsure of who to bat leadoff. Any insights from you seasoned, grizzled vets? Thanks

I like this team a lot. I have used estrada at leadoff. with thome matsui and drew i would think about changing one of them for a big righty like manny a cheap righty who rips lefties is saenz. i like smoltz closing but i would think about getting a big time set up man like krod lidge or gagne and getting cheaper guys in the back end of the pen.

I agree with you on the need for a righty bat that kills LH's.

Is Quinlan or J. Hernandez available?

Even a lefty bat that hits LH's would help, like Gload or Surhoff or even L. Gonz.

They are both available. Quinlan has that 4 injury rating however. I'm thinking of Getting Mench. Any thoughts on him?
