thanks guys

My first impression of Howard is not good: too expensive for one-sided card that fails to be dominant.

Furthermore, Lecroy's defense is just awful...I know that 1st defense is not important, but 4e25 is among the worst ratings. At some point, it starts to build.

I like your Elison/Singleton platoon though: cheap and effective. But Singleton is not a 6th hitter. No hitter under 1M who has a glove should ever hit 6th. Not sure what you have in pitching, but it must be big!!

I wouldn't use Castillo lead-off vs rhp. Too weak, on-base just okay, and no real good steal numbers. Figgins is nicer. With this line-up, Howard would be my #2. But in any case, you are missing at least one good hitter.

You should have Molina as hitter vs lhp (2L) and defensive back-up catcher, and have another catcher vs rhp.
