Wow I finally took a look at my roster for this season and cant wait until the season gets under way.My starting pitching is a little weak but my deep bullpen should keep me in games all season long.My lineup is also pretty formidable with:

C-Posey
1B-Votto
2B-Prado(would like a little better defense)
SS-A.Escobar
3B-Ramirez
LF-CarGo
CF-A.Jackson
RF-Bruce
DH-Ruggiano

Bench: M.Montero,,Rizzo,Kinsler,Tejada,Freese, and either Revere or J.Upton

SPs

Latos
Sale
Detwiler
Anibal Sanchez
Feliz

RPs

Chapman
Rodney
Janssen
D.Hernandez
Lopez
Ogando

Looks like I might have a chance to do something good this season

I MIGHT give you a run for your money:

C Hanigan/Jaso
1b Freeman
2b Phillips
3b Wright
ss Tulo & ??
LF Melky
cf Fowler
RF ??
DH Morales/Quentin

Bench: Span, Jay, Venable, Murphy

SP
Dickey
Gallardo
Grienke
Peavey
Billingsley

The pen needs help, need a RF and a back up SS, but I have some depth at CF to parlay into helpmat one of those positions.

Soooo anyone looking for a CF, I have 3, I'm keeping Fowler ( unless someone blows me away with an offer), but Jay and/or Span could be had.

Obviously, you have spoken and we won't be changing anything. If nothing else, I got some conversation going. Still need Cubit, AFD, and BlueIguana to check in, but our tentative schedule is to have our roster cuts submitted by the end of February, with a 15 round FA draft to begin sometime in the beginning of March. The only draft eligible players are those carded by SOM (not including Unleashed). As per usual, there are no prospects in this league.

To jump into the above conversation, here's what I'm looking at:

C - Pierzynski
1B - Trumbo/Craig
2B - Scutaro/Altuve
SS - A. Cabrera
3B - Frazier/C. Jones
LF - A. Gordon
CF - A. Jones/Trout
RF - M. Trout/Stanton
DH - B. Butler

SP - Price, Beachy, Morrow, B. Anderson, Hammel
RP - Clippard, Uehara, Furbush, Crain

I'm liking it so far (loving that OF), but the lineup appears a little RH heavy (though that might not be too bad in Fenway) and the rotation might need a little help.

I'm in for the draft, and against changing the rules.

Here's what the returning champs will have on tap (and thx for the congrats guys, was my only title in 2012):

CF Crisp/Gentry
SS Rollins
RF Heyward
LF Hamilton
DH Chavez
2B Zobrist
3B Sandoval
C Avila
1B Helton/Guzman

SPs: Gio G, Luebke, M Estrada, Karstens, Beckett

RPs: Wilhelmsen, Putz, Affeldt

I'd like a better 1B than Helton & a better CF than Crisp vs RH. Let me know if you have anyone. I can deal Stephen Drew or picks.

thechamp87 trade

Adam Laroche
Matt Holliday
Roy Halladay
James Shields

to timklucinec for

Joe Mauer
Stephen Strasburg
1st FA pick
3rd FA pick

I confirm this trade.

Tim K

Trade approved by the commish, and I will not require any additional drops by TimK at this point as we are all under the 40 roster limit.
