Need some quick help before league starts

Postby ale0319 » Mon Jun 29, 2009 4:12 pm

I'm taking a third crack at a SOM team as practice before I start a 2008-set team. I chose a Coors field to get a more offensive heavy team and use some cap for better relievers. I was thinking about picking up Liriano S6/R3 and try to maximize bullpen usage. I would have to drop Vlad who I have at DH, however, and lose one of my only power bats. I've never really chose a hitters park until this team so should I just invest more in hitting?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well...

I see alot of problems here.

1. In a hitting park, I'd like my most expensive guy to be a BIG slugger/ run producer. Jeter is not. He's a lead-off guy or in the 2 hole guy. These guys can be found much cheaper.

2. Pierre is terrible. No other way to say it.

3. Uggla is a 3, and there are better hitting 3's out there.

4. This team is better suited to a neutral to pitching park.

5. Cordero in the pen is not a good fit for your park.

I decided with this I could keep the speed and defense and have more productivity from Sizemore than Jeter. 2 out of the 3 other teams in my division have hitter parks so hopefully the BP-HRs will come haha. It also gives a more balanced lineup with Reyes leading off as a switch hitter and Sizemore adding another lefty to the lineup.

I was thinking along the lines of your post just didn't know whether to go with Jeter's defense (1) and high OBP or go with another guy with more slugging capabilities
