New '06 team...Need a little help here

[BRADSANDBOTHE]

This is what I ended up with after the draft.

I got most of my pitching staff, but only 2 hitters that I wanted,

This team is playing at Busch. And waivers haven't happened yet.
Has anyone had any luck with any of these players.
Should I dump some pitching??? I could dump and go for hitting, but at this point I am going to have to piece together a team.
Any help would be appreciated.

What stadiums are in your division?

Camden Yard, Petco, Dodger Stadium

I also have put claims on Konerko, Giles, and Eckstein
Dumping Hall, Belliard, and Tracy. Needed better D and a little more Power

I would:

Go with 4 *SP's. Dump Sheets and Rogers.

Keep Ryan and Thompson. Then grab another even balanced RP to go with 1 or 2 $.50 RP's. (Hard LH/RH's) Your SP's can go into the 7th inning before getting tired. There won't be enough innings to go around.

Hitting:
Platoon Zaun with a catcher that hits righties better. Navarro? Grab a higher OB catcher if you can. (1R or 2R)

Tracy will have some problem hitting in your park. Is he platooning with Hernandez. He needs a platoon mate.

Belliard is OK.

You need a better SS, defensively. Look for a 1 or a 2 defensively.

CF position needs help.

Green needs a platoon.

Rodriguez needs to DH.

Do you think Wakefield would be a good choice for Busch (and my division)???

[visick]

He's good for Busch AND Petco but NOT for Camden and Dodger stadium, IMO.

[visick]

Dump Wakefield. You are not going to see enough lefty bats in your division. I'd prefer: Garland, Davis or even Harang.

RP's I like for you:
T. Williams
Mecir
Witasick
Guerrier
Orvella
Eldred
Sanchez
Villone
Vogelsong

[BRADSANDBOTHE]

Here is what I have at this point,

Not much power, but that being said:
Platoon at 1st and at DH:

Still holding Wakefield for the Moment:

Now what do you think:

I'd:

Grab D. Johnson for 1B.

Grab either Everett or Perez @ SS.
If you grab Everett, also take Izturis to hit vs. LH's.

3B needs help. Graffinino, Randa, Hall, Mueller and Betemit with a platoon are better than what you have.

Dump Thomas. He's a injury waiting to happen.

Who is in CF? Taguchi? How about Dave Roberts?
