For a team that has 4 mil in cap, no DH and missing a 4th * SP, you rate 1838 and that's not bad at all.
Thoughts:
Lineup:
You're not nearly good enough v RHP. Course, you're missing a DH that should hit RHP I would hope.
Prado is a big injury risk, decent v RHP, good v LHP so you might not want to keep him.
For a team with a 15 HR for LHB, you don't have many bphrs. Need more power
Defense is good.
Could use a platoon guy to go with Granderson, but not critical
Your OB v LHP is super low.
I would agree that Huff, Tex are good upgrades. Sandoval I would take as a CA if you're going after him. Davis is OK.
Werth if you have a lot of LH to face, or if you need that extra bat in the lineup v LHP is OK, but does carry an injury risk.
Having Ellsbury and Barajas gives you two weak spots in your lineup. YOu can get away with that if you can fill the other spots, but Drew and Werth dont' exactly rip RHP either.
SPs
drop Petit and find another * SP. The other three are solid, you want a LHSP in that park. Petit doesn't match your park at all.
Pen is OK, but you might want to pick up another 2 inning guy. Do you really want both of your best two RPs LH? Okajima isn't a great fit for your park anyway. You probably want at least one hard RHRP. You dont' pay all your games at home.
You don't need Pedro or Duke at all, but you have to keep one of them I guess.
All I got off the top.
