I'm no expert but...

[u:76acc6e610]Pitching wise:[/u:76acc6e610]
Arroyo can't get lefties out AND your park is HR friendly. Not a good combo.
Millwood is OK, just not a #2 starter.
The rest of the staff is nothing to write home about.

Wickman is OK, though not the best. Not crazy about Linebrink and Oliver in your park. Embree is a good value guy.

Your pitching needs help. :roll:

[u:76acc6e610]Hitting wise:[/u:76acc6e610]
Your team is slanted to hit LH's much better than RH's.
You will probably face LH's only 25-35% of the time.

Lefties generally hit RH's better so look for some more lefty bats.
Keep your subs @ $.50. It will save you $.
You need some more OB in this lineup as well.

I'll look at the free agents in a sec for you.

Looks like if the other managers do not change their staffs, you will face 5 LH's in your division. Roughly 7 RH's. Slightly more LH's than normal, but oh well.

Keepers:
IRod
Carroll
Jeter
ARod
I'd dump Overbay for Morneau

Lost track of time and gotta go. I'll be back later on to help ya.

ya i see that im loaded for lefties, ill see what i can do, i do have the #2 waiver priority so I should be able to get who I want. what about ryan howard? i know his defense is terrible but he is a righty killer...and also do you think i should dump arroyo and try and get someone who is a little more balanced? thanks for your help again ....matt

Arroyo is death. He lost 20 games for me on a first place team that made it to the finals, no joke. Anyone of comparable value is better. Hey visick, how do you check out someone else's Free Agents? I keep getting redirected to my teams when I try to look.
