You obviously value defense. So get rid of Hack!! I'd keep Fox and Coveleski. The rest are optional.

Post a link. Once you've done that and deep sixed Hack more advice will come.

Go to your league. Click on statistics. Then click on your team (when on the statistics page). Then go up to top of your screen where the http:// etc. is. Click on that to highlight the link. Once highlighted (and the cursor is on that line) click Control C. Then go to your post (i.e. here). Once the cursor is in the area where you post, then click Control V. Presto you have copied a link to your team.

Oh, here's the link ....

Too much wasted in starting pitching, ditch Shawkey, Bennett and Caldwell use the money for one value $4 mill starter such as Boyd, Knepper, Nolan, etc.

Use savings to beef up your pen a little.

Dickey is overkill and wasted somewhat in your park. If you're looking for a bopper, don't make it a catcher (who is more injury prone than a non-catcher).

Hack Wilson must go, plenty of quality CF's out there who can play defense and hit the ball. Kaline is a big injury risk, better have a quality backup. Agee won't hit much in your park either.

I guess basically, I like your infield, but not your outfield. And you have almost all LH bats in the lineup. Might wanna find a lefty OF or two.

Hope it helps a little, I'm sure you'lll get plenty more advice.

Looking at the FA wire for your league, here's some suggestions:

I like Sanguillen, Gibson or Schalk at Catcher and Roseboro as your backup.

Joe Jackson or Cleon Jones in LF.

Dom Dimaggion or Curt Flood in CF.

[b:d9c2052688]COBB in RF[/b:d9c2052688] Should be your #1 waiver pick and cross your fingers.

There are plenty of viable options out there for you. Schoendist is always good at 2B and he's available.

Big money players aren't always the best bet. I would treat this as a smallball team in your park and build the team accordingly.

Looks like plenty of good pitching values out there too: Gibson, Lonborg, Key, etc.

Good luck in waivers!
