going against the grain/Cellular help

Postby chase1918 » Fri Dec 23, 2005 8:19 am

I normally try and get atleast 5-6 guys with more then 600 ab's. BUT this team kind of looks fun to manage. I have a dh/1b/c platoon going.
G. Anderson/Sanchez at DH Clark/Giambi at 1B and Torrealba/Buck at C.

As far as pitching goes should I be concerned having 3 LHP starting at Cellular? (Pettitte, Villone and Kennedy)
Is J Thomson any good at Cellular?
Can I survive just using 4 relievers?

PS last summer I swore I would never have more then 1 team going at a time. then I drafter a stinker and to make a long story even longer i know have 3 teams going (2 were free)

FWIW-

Here's my 2 cents...


1. I wouldn't expect to see alot of production @ 1B. Sure those 2 will hit some HR's, but the OB and BA will be low.

2. I like the catching platoon, but like above the BA and OB will be low.

3. I like your RP. You've got 2 of the best in K-Rod and Rincon.

4. You have no real lead-off guy.

5. And finally, while I've seen some guys be successful with "high risk/injury" guys, you've got a triage team waiting to happen. I like to use 1-3 guys that coould go down for 15 myself.

Here are my thoughts of what I would try to improve your team,
Drop Kennedy or Villone and replace them with one righty starter (maybe you can trade them), then release Arnsworth, only need 5 starters, sometimes it is ok to carry a 6th as a specialist verses a shea team or wrigley, but at a cheap price.
Then I would pick up one more reliever that is as specialist either verses lefties or righties for cheap money. I have found out it is always beneficial to have many options in the bullpen.
Your relievers are fine, I would not release or trade any of them unless a good offer was received.
For your batters, I would release raines jr and use that money to upgrade elsewhere.
Maybe a better hitting catcher.
Also, try to find a better option for Taguchi if possible, if Charles Thomas, is available, or brady clark, they are good alternatives and more balanced hitting wise.
There are many ways to go, you can stick with what you have, the pitching is good as is, was just giving my opinions.
Good luck
