I have a new Jake team (6/6, 6/3) where I've gone big with SP (Unit, Schmidt, Pedro, DDavis) to be contrarian. I have Duchscherer as my setup guy, 3 cheapies I hope to never use and Smoltz as my closer. Anyone have success/lack thereof using him in a pitchers' park this year?

Here's my team for any other comments.

Couple of general thoughts:

Thome and Gload available at 1B - should I take one over Overbay? Had good success with Gload this year but seems like Overbay about on par and with no 15 game injury risk

Anyone else you'd recommend as a decent pitchers' park DH for 3MM or less? Haven't used Stewart before and his injury looms - looking for other insights. (I'm going to pick up a cheap backup for Quinlan/Stewart)

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Thanks for the input - I 86'd Stewart for Mark Sweeney (I had Eric Young as the RH side of that platoon) and kept Overbay.

On the bully, I'm going to see how it goes. With 3 S7 guys, I'm hoping to not have to use the bullpen too much, and Duchscherer's R3 really helps.
