Ok, I am quickly finding that Coors is fun to Play in. My other team is 4-5, but I decided to do another based on the knowlege gained from the other thread.

That being said, this is what I ended up with after the Draft.

Pitching got everyone I wanted except for Harang, trying to work a trade for that.

Hitting I got almost what I wanted
Wanted Teixeira and got T. Clark (I am ok with this)
Missed out on Murton in Left and Kotsay in CF
Ended up with B. Clark a 4 in Center
and M. Holliday in LF
I have 2,620,000 left and Waiver list has me 11th

Wanted some Ideas how to get more from left and Center

Teams in my division are Ameriquest, Fenway, Minute Maid, and Coors
My team is the Coors team.

I traded Clark for Kostsay and It was accepted,

I guess the question now would be is there really any big difference between Murton and Holliday???

I'd be a little concerned in that alot of guys "could" go down for 15 games...

Here is my Coors Team, It is a $100 million League, There is not much left of anything. Any feedback would be helpful. SGT D

Puckin,

I think what is left is relacing your LF with someone that fits a lineup need. Basically create your lineup and see what spot needs to be filled. You know your DH is leadoff, Arod is 3rd, Clark/Aram 4/5 then Gibbons, Kent, etc. Just glancing I'm guessing you need a good #2 hitter with good obp. See what fits at LF (Bay is probably out of your price range). PErhpas Burrell? Also I'd suggest a cheaper backup for ARam, say E Encarcion.

Silvia has to go, and it's either spend a lot for Burnett again, or go 2 cheap non * options (5 man rotation), or 1 cheap * option that has BP Hr's. Your call on that.

SGTD,

You pitching is atrocious, ok that is a bit harsh, but it isn't Coors optimized.

I'd trade down to get some cheapies with no BPHR's, or at least pick up a couple of the lefties that are left and matchup starters (Kazmir, Bedard). Cordero needs to go for sure.

Put Arod and SS and drop those losers Reyes and Renteria. I'm not fond of Figgins here, but there isn't much left for a leadoff guy vs righties. I'd pick up Murton for LF and Belliard for 2b, drop Soriano, comeplete waste of $$. Though you're right there isn't much left....

Good call on Rollins,

I didn't even see him out there,

I definitely want to dump Silvia, but can't get Burnett don't have enough cash to get him. My best hope is to pick up some one else's cast off.

Nothing left as far as Starting Pitching to speak of

This is what I ended up with

Hitting is great, wonder if that will hold up????

If you can get Colon he is doing well for me in Coors. As far as LF, Craig Wilson is my guy right now. He's not getting benched so that should tell you something.

Colon is gone,

I did pick up Mulder which is an improvement, but still not real happy here.

Any thoughts or should I just cross my fingers and hope the bats carry me. Remember I do play with teams from Minute Maid, Fenway, and Ameriquest and of course home at Coors.

I really don't want to mess with my Hitting.

I'd say don't mess with your hitting and hope the pitching can hang in there. Someone will always drop a pitcher after the season starts and you may get a good find that way. Is uh...Zach Duke available? I thought he would kill me in Coors but he was doing the killing for a while. He has since evened out in his record but I'm still happy with him.
