Comments please and also how can you post a link to my team on the board, Thanks

also it is a dh league and iam in the waiver period

OK, first and foremost, how to post your team link:

Go to the "statistics" page for your league. Then control-click on your team, and from the menu that appears, select "copy link". Then just paste the link in here.

As for the lineup, since Astrodome is a pitcher's park, you want to load up on obp, which I think you did a great job of doing. It also seems like a good blend of LH-RH. By my memory, I think that's 3LH, 4RH and a switch...

That just leaves whether or not you are lined up for the pitchers you are going to face. On average, a team will face 75% RHP, but check your div. opponents to see. I am in one league right now, where my three div. opponents have 3 LHSP between them, so I altered my lineup to take advantage of this.

Have fun!

There is a DH and iam in the waiver period.

Right off the top, why Craig, Shores and Narleski??? That's $11.00 mill tied up in a swing position. Drop them and get [b:f59adf1e90]Pete, 3-Finger [/b:f59adf1e90]or Scott who are all available on your FA wire.

Second, you need more relief pitching. I usually go with 2 solid relievers that fit my park. Lown is O.K., but you need another guy. [b:f59adf1e90]Hall, Henry[/b:f59adf1e90], Eastwick or Tincup would do nicely.

Finally, assuming Jackie is going to play 3B, why do you have Devore??? Put the money into your staff.

With a couple of changes, this could be a solid defensive team and a good pitching team.

I agree with Rich but otherwise love your staff.

Devore platoon at DH with Garbey? If you end up needing cash to get a stud SP, downgrade him to Gessler?

Duh, forgot about the DH. Clines would be a great DH in that park.

I have had a lot of success with Clines in that role.
Why are you carrying Santana and Croucher? Ozzie can't get hurt. Armas is also a waste IMO. Dump the 2 SS and Armas and get a solid BU OF FOR 1.5. With Jackson and Valentine, you'll need a good BU. Agree with the pitching comments above. Dump Narleski, Craig, and Shores and pick up a good * starter, maybe in the 7-8M range and get another RP. The core is real nice, just fix the pitching and the bench and you should have a good shot at 85-90 wins IMO.
