PS its an 80 mill/DH league

David,
Welcome back! Everyone has their opinions regarding team construction. Looking closely at your division, the starting pitching leans towards the LHS. But, your lineup favors RHS. Not a good matchup in my opinion. Also, you are not really utilizing your home park benefits; especially HR's. Love SOSA and PETROCELLI for your ballpark. I would take a close look at 3B in particular. Many options to choose from including Beckworth, Chipper, Schmidt, Killebrew, Allen, Bando. Upgrade at CF and LF is another good choice. I would target Snider, Ott, Hafey and Alou here. Definately would get rid of catcher platoon and just go with Thurman Munson to save $$$$. In short, I would reallocate funds you have tied up in Henderson, Palmeiro and Ortiz and redistribute to CF/LF/3B. Try to save money at DH!!!!!! Maybe take a look at cheaper option at 2b in either Larry Doyle or Bobby Avila. The few times I have seen Avila, he has rocked as has Utley. Depends on league construction in regards to Utley or Avila. Doyle disappointed the one time I used him; but league was heavy with pitching. You could go very cheap in LF with Joe Evans at 2.63 and keep money at 1B, 3B and CF. I would probably do this option. JOE EVANS rocks!!! Will hit 300 plus from both sides and with good slugging at a huge savings. I hated to drop him but, had to allocate more money to pitching. Very hard lesson to learn.

SP wise, Hess is very good. If you want to save money on a fourth *starter, Jack Billingham is really a good return on investment for 1.77. Use money saved to get one more good SP in 6 mil range. Good options include Maddox and Kremer. If you have too, downgrade RP to make this happen. Rambled long enough. By the way, take all this advice with a grain of salt. This is my first venture into a DH league and I am in the Central division in your league. LOL


Good luck with your choices,
Chuck Barclay

Utilize diamonddope.com for lineup choices. Very useful site!!!!!!!!!!!!! :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :arrow: :arrow:

Thanks for the feedback. I originally built a team not designated for a dh but grew impatient waiting for a league to form. I then pretty much completely reconstructed my team b/c I had to many platoons. Also another team got 3 of the starting pitchers I was hoping for. It's fun to Be back. I try and only play one team at a time. Time to get cracking.
