My very initial opinions:

You have a lot of starting pitching, even if you're using Scherzer in relief (I think you can get better relief value than MS). I'd look to upgrade at catcher with some of the money you're spending in starters. Pablo Sandoval can hit the stuffing out of righthanders. Not sure Mora will cut it for you either.

I love your starting pitching but you do have SIX quality starters, that is way more than you need. So basically I am seconding the opinion of the above poster. Remember it is not your favorite players that will win you championships, but instead the players with the best cards. The guys that win championships around here are the guys who play the best cards,..and get a little luck. Now having said that; the dynamics of a 100 million dollar league are such that you are going to have a team that has a little excess somewhere,...usually. But I think you could upgrade catcher, or somewhere by dumping one or two of those Starting pitchers. You do have a great rotation in a pitchers park, you are on the right track! Good luck,.....it always helps!

I actually love the team you've assembled, strong D up the middle, deeeeeep pitching, good balance in the lineup. Be forewarned however, you're gonna win or lose a lot of games by 1 run or 2

Why would you say he will lose a lot of games by one or two runs aside from the fact that everyone does?

Dropped Bedard and Mora. Picked up Sandoval(he does kill RHP) and C. Guillen. Once again, I appreciate the input.

Looks like you'll be playing 4's at each corner of the outfield. That can and will get ugly for you. Braun and Guerrero don't belong in a pitcher's park anyway, and certainly not anywhere near the outfield. Having that PNC team in your division and having to play 12 games there as well, gives me more reason to move those two guys. I hope you have Sandoval to play C, as he does not belong at 3rd base. On a positive note, your pitching seems fine. However, with 2 4's in the outfield and a 4 with a high error rate at 3rd, they may end up with less than stellar performances.

Personally, I'd keep the pitching intact, keep Fontenot, Gonzo, Reyes, and Ichiro, toss away the rest and start over with the hitting.
