This is my first 2007 team. I have 'overloaded' on power. Looking to see if anyone has any suggestions on improving this team (including possibly swapping who for who). Thanks

Maybe get guys who can fill out the top two spots better. You could possibly put Jermaine dye in the 2 hole, but his double play role on 7 vs. lefties would worry me a little bit in the 2 spot. Still, you could try it.
Nonetheless there may be better options out there for you. Who did you have in mind for leadoff?
Then again, I haven't played the 2007 game yet, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

only thing I don't get is tucker, why have Cruz if your other LF is better against lefties too. Why not get a platoon mate for Cruz???
Don't know what your drop % is for your league but i would look at Choo, Guiel or even Matt Kemp in place of Tucker

I am 111 games into a season with my first 2007 team - structured a bit like yours - lots of power. I am playing at Chase Field - fairly similar to Rogers.
You will like Pujols, Ortiz, Ramirez alot - they have done well in my league, albeit for other teams.
My big surprise has been Durham - 41 homers in 111 games even with being out for 10.
I saw Cruz pitching well for an opponent. Otsuka and Heilman also have done well in my league. I have had some luck with Shields as set-up guy - other than that my pitching is pretty ragged 5.03 ERA and 1.42 WHIP Lowe, Smoltz, Glavine, Bonderman. Fortunately, those 4 rank in the top 7 for Run Support.
Luke Scott has been a stud. A-Rod weak.
