Team Prediction

Can anyone give me thoughts on how this team will do? Any predictions on the number of wins.I know it is mainly a hitting team. Will this be another long season.

Thanks in advance. I appreciate it.

I am not foolish enough to predict what HAL will do. Checking your division makes me think your starters will be your downfall. Except for Gunthrie they are L centric against R centric teams.

I've never done a Great American park, so I'll give my two cents until a manager who does chimes in. In Posey, Votto, and Phillips, you've got 20 mil invested in three non-banging players in a banging park. I think you should shift some of that money towards some real bangers. Also, Posey has done blah for me all three times I've had him; so, I'm not a big fan. Navarro, Lucroy, Mccann/platoon guy, Saltalam/platoon guy, and even Castro are better C values. I'm also not very fond of Seager or Phillips either.

What free agents are available? That would help everyone help you.

Very impressive. Can't argue with 105 wins, but this guy is in an $80M league not $200M

his pitching won't hold up, in this ballpark you just need homerun hitters and pitchers with very few Ballpark HR. I would take some money from offense and upgrade pitching staff

I agree the pitching won't hold up enough. IMO yoor best case is slightly > .500 if the division/league parks favor you and most likely < .500. Bullpen too thin also IMO for that type of team. I have tried extreme teams like that and never done really well. The pitchers always end up being too bad no matter how many runs you put up, but why not go for it if you were able to get all that lumber. The big three is great, but you spent a lot of $$$ on other guys who won't really carry their weight-I don't really like your whole IF(I get that your going for defense) and I could take or leave Hamilton. You should be able to cobble together guys at those positions for cheaper that would maintain a good but slightly lesser defense while freeing up some $$$ to at least slightly upgrade pitching. You should probably play Cabrera at 3B(his "D" is OK for 3B), as that's a tough position to fill and it would allow for a cheap, productive DH like Ibanez. There's about $4 right there and you probably end up being better with the move.

u need more lefty hitters with power that can rake in GAB.

calhoun/adams/boesch/lind etc., i like defence and power myself...but i give a little def back on the corners

Thanks everyone for your help. Really good information.

Thanks again,
