Tired of getting crushed in Barnstormers, how is this team?

I'm getting killed in the Barnstormers league. Does this team look any better? Will the pitching hold up? 5-man no* rotation with Miljus relieving.

Not the most experienced, but the way you posted the question makes it sound like you do not believe your SP can hold up and I agree with your gut feeling, your pitching is not good enough.

I agree ... I would think about downgrading Sisler to a power guy in the 5-7 mil range (maybe Cepeda?), using the 8.90 Williams, and investing the savings in a better rotation. I can't imagine relying on Bryant, Fitzsimmons, etc. in a 100 mil league, esp. when the pen is nothing special.

With that lineup, you will score over 100 runs - a lot of OBP, Power and Average, but you will give up just as many with the pitching. I would downgrade Ott and Sisler - that's 19 million right here. There are many options for 1st base in the 5-6 million range, same with RF (or you could downgrade to the cheaper Ott Card) - still lots of OBP and power. If you cut those positions to 10m, you have 9m for pitching.
