1. I'd drop one of your .50 SPs & grab Wade asap.
2. I'd drop the 2b platoon for Gehringer.
3. Another option would be to upgrade Bahnsen to T. Martinez.

I would seriously consider any reasonable alternative I could find to Bowa.

Looks pretty solid sschu.

A few ideas:

Upgrade Taylor or Fosnow to one of the nice $3 mil + RP's to be the #1 guy out of the pen and downgrade the other to a sub $1mil RP to use as mop-up, keeping Bahnsen as the #2 guy (he should excel in this league);

Swap Valentine for a nice LH top of the order option (McCoskey), at the same time swapping Chance for McCormick to go in the 6 hole. Thus assuming you could go:

McCoskey
Dom
Rolfe
Simmons
Cochrane
McCoskey

This might allow you some extra cash to pour into your SP's.

Another idea might be to swap Valentine for a LH #3 option like Shoeless Joe, thus giving you:

Chance
Dom
Jackson
Simmons
Rolfe
Cochrane

Just some ideas... looks pretty solid though

Good ideas, Shoeless would be great, I might try that. RPs is probably where I will spend the $$.

Txs for the input, sschu
