You have the basics correct. A bunch of LHP's and LHH's in a lefty HR park. Your 4th and 5th SP's will get shelled, of course. Especially since everyone else in your Division is in a hitters park. You need to hope that your offense can overcome those days. I doubt they will given your weak pen. R1's only. They will tire quickly.

I would take (at least) $6M from your offense and get some better pitching. Make it more in line with a Secret Formula team.

Thank you. I was considering taking from the offense ans working on the pitching - the only one I am comfortable downgrading is stott - what are your thoughts?

I only play Keeper Leagues so I'm not up to date on the minutiae of the 2023 set. Are you wed to Freeman? I would let him go instead of Stott since you will need good up the middle defense to offset your lack of pitching.

I would replace Stott with a 1 who will hit 175 - Freemans numbers are sick in the leagues I have been in. Its a tough call but you are right I need a 1 at ss and 2b

Perhaps get a RHH at 1B to break up the lineup. A $4M-$5M 4e5 guy with good slug.

Good point. Harper is my DH - I may get more value by moving him to first and get a slugging RHH? Can you see the free agents from that link? If so any suggestions?

I can't. Go for a RHH who can hit RHP with really bad defense as your DH.

Upgraded D with Bregman - final product, I think.
