You have 3 1B, CF and RF and no need to carry 28 players. 24 will get the job done. You have way too much money sitting on your bench.

Thanks Chase.....one of the 3 1B is a def replacement, the other is the full time DH, one of the CF is actually my SS back up and the other extra CF is my everyday PR.....one of the RF'ers is the starting LFer, and the other is a backup for the starting RFer......

Chase is right though. You're spending too much on your bench. With Votto at first base, you don't really need a defensive replacement at first base (the difference between a 2 and 3 at first is not significant enough to carry a third first baseman). Try to reduce your roster by opting for backups who can back up numerous positions. You can cut bourn and either hermida and teahen and your backup situation will still be fine. The money will be better spent on your pitching staff or starting lineup.

Good luck on your season.

you need more lefty power. yankee stadium favours lefty power. you will face more rightys than lefties. plus u have a few other homer parks in your league. maybe more lefty starters to counter the lefty balance in your park.
