Here's my latest team:

VAST departure for me.

Obviously I'm going to lean on the pen HEAVILY.

will it work? post your thoughts/concerns.

I'm in Comerica, other's in the division are Pro Player, Tropicana and SBC

I think Luckyman left a post with some analysis that the super bullpen was common among highest win teams. But I think that was mostly with 2 studs, not 3. I'd downgrade one of them just a bit and use it to improve one of your starters (or maybe two). I'm also a little concerned about your defense using this strategy. Who is DH'ing? I see 4 OF'ers so i'm guessing it's be Sheff but that would leave Ortiz playing 1st? :o Especially not good when you have a 3 at 2nd, and a +3 arm in CF.

Agree with Korkie. A 4 at 3rd base isn't helping matters eithers. Plus I can't see where your offense is going to do the catching up it needs to do late in the games. Mediocre starters, coupled with mediocre defense, is a recipe for disaster, both of which is being generous with the description.

"DeWitt Demolishers"

Hmm...just what will they be demolishing? Your hopes and dreams for a championship? :)

Seriously....that defense will kill you in the end...good pitching staff but that def could make them slightly worse.

Well I tweaked things a little bit. Dropped Sheff for Morneau and Made Ortiz my DH. Also downgraded Gagne to Ayala and added Escobar as a starter and Marrero to help out against the lefties.

So what did that get me a 3-0 start :D . Obviuosly there's a long way to go. But I still like this team.
