Your starting pitching is surely impressive, but you may feel the weakness of your pen as the season drags on...
I'm going into game 5 of the playoffs tonight with a Wrigley team, and Mohr has been surprisingly unimpressive for me this season, even against righties in Wrigley, a righthanded batting park. He walks and gets HBP a lot, so his OBP is pretty good, but his average is mediocre and his power is so-so. Funny thing about his card is he's listed as a rightfielder, but his range is 2 instead of 3 in LF - I've wondered if that is a misprint or something, but he's been in LF for my team all season. But you may wish to look for a better power bat instead of Mohr, as he and Hafner appear to be the intended meat of your order against righthanded pitching, right? You are loaded with hitters that should be effective against lefthanded pitching, and you've got a good number of lefthanded bats to complement your park. Since your park favors lefty bats, you may be more disappointed in Mohr than I've been.
Just a few observations...
