If someone in your division has Garland, Morton, Reynolds, and Wang (all R9'S) as their 4 SP's for a total of $2.07, they'll beat you 24 out of 24 times. You have an all RH'd lineup that can't hit RH's cept for Lawrie. Find a couple of LH's or RH's that hit RH's

It's a RH leaning stadium, but still 11 for lefties. You have no LH hitting, if I was in your division I could get 2 guys for under 1.2 mil that are 9R and shut your down.

Clippard isn't the best choice with his BP Hr's either. If you really want a big RP to eat innings, why not Aceves?

I like Lawrie, Braun and Tulo, but I would actually try to get Ortiz as your DH to break up those RH. I can't believe Kemp is out there as well.

Your C platoon has crap defense (+3 arm, no way).

I don't see much OBP for the top of your lineup either. not sure who you're batting #1 and #2. McClutchen I guess? Don't like Butler here.

Jerlins, using berce to check his FA's, there isn't really any LH that are strong vs R. I'd agree with you, but it's pretty bare. But he needs some L/S hitters in there either way.

Ok i added Ortiz and McCann for L and switching mccutch for fowler (switch hitter with good OBP)

Didn't know who was available FA wise. Then yes, if thats the case, a nice LH hitter or two would fit nicely. No Shelly Duncan eh?

Noooo!!! You don't want a W hitter on that team, rid yourself of Fowler.

Want to go cheap at 1B, just forget defense and grab Peralta.

Get Braun back at LF, he's a beast!

by **lev.cohen** » Fri Mar 16, 2012 5:36 pm

how does it look now:
C- McCann
1b- Gold
2B- Ellis
3B- Lowrie
SS- Tulo
LF- Holliday
CF- Jones
RF- G. Jones/Aviles
