Ok this is my last team before the new season is out. Need some opinions/advice. Here is the question. I have a great pitching staff but so much money is invested-can I win this thing with the position players I have. Here is what I look like:

Pitchers:
Randy Johnson
J. Santana
R. Clemens
J Johnson (JJ done great for me in the trop in earlier league)
D. Waechter (I know he sucks--He'll only pitch if top4 are injured)

Pen:
B. Wagner--CL
S Shields
B Donnelly
T Worrell
L Carter

Players:
J Molina
B Molina
J Bagwell
J Phelps
P Polanco
J Castillo
A Huff
C Figgins
T Batista
D Eckstein
J Mabry
S. Finley
C Crisp
S Podsednik

I am at the trop---I built my team pitching/speed and am pretty happy with all but I just wonder if I have enough pop to get it done. The other 3 teams are in Petco-Citizens Bank and Minute maid. I was lucky enough in one previous team to land both RJ and Santana but just didn't have the horses to get it done. Although I think this team looks a little better. That team won over 80 games but missed the playoffs. Can I do it?????

I'd probably throw reverse righties at this team.

I wonder if you need that much $$ in the pen with that big three of yours?

Donnelly is about $2M?

Aren't Worrell and Carter hard righties? Why both?

Who's in the MOTO?

Huff
Mabry
Bagwell?

Does not make one shake and sweat now does it? Not like the SOB I go up against tonight (play-off spot on the line) who has:

1-T. Hunter
2-L. Walker
3-C. Lee
4-T. Hafner
5D. Wright
6-J. Thome...

gulp.
