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

[visick]

Go cheaper behind the plate. Dump Miller for Kendall.

Save some $ for more offense.

[visick]

Carry only 10 pitchers. Dump Wandy for a SP only $.50 guy that you WON'T use.

Michaels should lead-off vs. LH's but who is going to lead-off vs. RH's?

[BRADSANDBOTHE]

I've got Taguchi in LF, Michaels in CF, Encarnacion RF

Miller and Zaun Platooning at Catcher
Hillenbrand at 1st Platooning with Marlon Anderson
Giles at 2b
Eckstein at SS
Freddy Sanchez at 3rd ????

Thomas and Rodriguez Platooning at DH (Thomas' upside I need power)

[visick]

We need more $ for the offense.

You have to either:

A. Carry only Ryan and Thompson as RP over $1 million and have the others under $1 million or...

B. Downgrade your SP. (Santana to Davis?)

Your choice.

Or a combo of both.

[visick]

Michaels is a LF. He's a 3 in CF.

Just realized Graffinino is terrible @ 3B. Grab Mueller.

Thanks for the advice,
At this time this is what I have:
http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/stratomatic/2006/team/team_other.html?user_id=3266

I feel a little shaky with my relievers other than Thompson and Ryan, but if my starters go deep I should be ok.

I still have 2 mil and Frank Thomas as a DH, I can use that money, but where would it best serve me?

[BRADSANDBOTHE]

OK,

http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/stratomatic/2006/team/team_other.html?user_id=3266

Pitchers:
All Starters set to slow hook
Ryan closer both ways not before 8th and avoid blowout
Thompson Not before 7th avoid blowout
May, Ayala, Burns all set not before 7th and Mop up
Majewski not before 7th
Hammond avoid rhb, max 2-3, and not before 7th

Question: Should I use the set up vs righties and lefties or leave blank? in my strategy area?

Hitting question would be how would you set this line up vs righties and lefties????

I have never really worried about this, but I keep seeing people talk about who should bat third or lead off or bat 8th vs 9th.

I have always more or less done it the way they are used in real life. (or just on gut)

Little help here would be appreciated as well.

Thanks for all the help guys
