Armed & dangerous! :)

great rotation and in that division with 3 pitching parks and only one hitting park you should be in great shape. didn't look at much of the other divisions. you need to have thick skin with this team because it will be a lot of low scoring games. should be interesting. Tim

Great starters, but you could afford to lose some of your cheap relievers (not Worrell) and replace them with .50 starters. With that rotation, your relievers should not be overworked. Bair is a maybe, Sisk should go.

And, IMHO, you're way too right handed, I'd never throw a lefty pitcher at you.

One other thought, you don't have a backup 2nd baseman, but you have 3 backup OF's, why?

havent looked at the other teams, and your rotation is spectacular, but may I add a few suggestions.....

1. Drop Fernandez for Crosetti, you keep the iron man status, the bats are the same for BA/OBP, you "gain" 6 less errors (e31 to e25), and, you also gain the "N" power against both sides for 2 million less!!

2. Doran should go too, yes, his def and speed are nice, and, he is priced right, your not over-paying for him, but, he just wont do a damn thing with a bat in his hand in that division. Any chance Shoendiest is available?

3. Dahlgren as your back up 1b HAS TO turn into D. Johnston (.50 cents). He is the perfect back up to Judge as they are basically the same with handiness, def, speed. Just that Judge has a higher BA/OBP, but, not by a huge amount. Johnston is just underpriced.

4. You need a good back up for RF/LF for injuries. Consider Becker for 1.05 or so.

If, you "downgrade" to Crosetti, and if Schoendiest is available, swapping out Dahlgren for Johnston, there should still be cap space for Becker.
