Trying the defense is marginally needed theme. I used Sewell as my SS in a pitcher's park and lost the finals, so maybe less defense isn't so bad.

Always look forward to everyone's comments.
Thanks

My 2 shiny pennies...
I'd like to see at least 1 decent RP. Doesn't have to be too expensive, but someone that u can at least rely on somewhat.
Henderson has a nice card, but he might be a little over-matched in a $100 million league.
If it's a DH league, use the 4R Belle card. Especially considering your home park.
The Ripken card is nice, but the INJ hurts.
With your park, I'd like to see at least 5 righty bats maxed out BPHR's vs. RH's.

I agree with Visick that you don't have enough righty power for Minute Maid. Specifically, Sanguillen is great in Forbes, not so much in MM. Suttles and Belle (the 6.80 version) are great hitters. Unfortunately, if you keep them both one of the has to play the field. I would use the 7.25M Collins at 2B and cross my fingers on injuries. Drop McPhee. I'd use the 7.51M Petro at SS unless someone better is available on waivers. I'd upgrade to the expensive Aaron. You can't do better in RF. This leaves you with holes at C, 3B, LF, and CF. Any righty power hitters available?
Here are a couple of my MM teams that did pretty well in the 105-110M range. I stocked up on hitting and skimped on pitching.

Thanks.
Always a wealth of knowledge available for the asking. We'll see how waivers go.
Thanks again
