Being a little slow, I'm not sure if these are the new boards or not. I've got a Petco, a Shea, and a Miller Park, and I'm in Fenway.

The Shea has Santana/Schmidt/Mulder/Willis. That'll be a tough rotation. :shock:

Pitching wise, I don't see the reason for Telemaco and Wells is iffy IMO. I would replace both for better, more usuable guys. Capuano or the Cleveland .50 lefty wouldn't hurt for use in Shea. Beltran not a good fit in Fenway IMO(very bad, in fact). Loses his power vs rhp's at home, not to mention playing in Petco and being turned around in Shea. Pokey is a waste as backup, as you really need a third SS for when he gets hurt.
If you can't trade Beltran, I would just drop him and use Wilkerson, upgrading at weaker positions.

PJ, first thought, you only have one hitter to crush righty pitchers, hope there are alot of lefties in your division

the team as a whole looks decent enoug Reese might be extra weight, as, I also think you can get away with one cheaper SPer for your 5th starter, I have had some luck with Rogers, especially for his price.....

Just a thought

Kenny's #s in CBP park, a hitter haven......

Rogers, Kenny L S6* 11 11 0 214.2 251 123 83 141 5.16 1.56 2L 1.42M

i agree with some that you shojuld dump wells and look for a cheaper alternative,,, brain powell, ramon ortiz have done well for me at fenways and are cheap!!!

also i tihnk you need to defenitley improve your OF def....
and i dont think you need all those relievers....

if you want a middle inf who cant hit but can play def
there are way cheaper guys than pokey...

i wouldnt play in fenways without anyone lower than a 2 in center...

[PJ Axelsson]

Okay, Wells is gone in favor of Brian Powell.

I've got this roster right now:

C-Varitek
1b-Lee
2b-Castillo
SS-Everett
3b-Bell
rf-Ichiro
cf-Wilkerson
lf-Mohr
dh-C.Lee

I agree, not much pop lefthanded, but Ichiro, Morh, Castillo, and Tek are wighted vs. lefties. Defensive wise, I don't see much problem with this crew. Bell has a lot of errors, but otherwise, they are all 1s and 2s with good arms in the outfield and pretty low errors.

Pitching has:
Halladay
Carpenter
Arroyo
Penny
Halama
Powell

Betancourt
Cormier
Osuna
Rivera

My 2 cents, FWIW...

I think you would be better off served with 2 or even 3 platoons, if available.

It's nice to have a hitter or 2 that mashes in your home park AND a hitter or 2 that can mash while on the road.

not bad lineup at all and not too bad of a bullpen
but im a HUGE fan of 4 starters who are 3-day guys... and then mininmize your pen use... but it would be hard for you to get 4 starters now

[PJ Axelsson]

Starters seem long gone. I keep waiting to add a lefty hitter, but none that make sense have been dropped yet.

[goredsox33]

i think the best wya to build a team is 4 solid starters...

all 3 day rest guys... and 2 studs in the bullpen
great closer and great set up man

my team now has sheets/pedro/livan/westbrook

with nathan /krod in the pen...

and i like having a balanced lineup

high OBP....
only tihng i dislike about my team now is ined more power
