Sutter may be both pricey and a poor fit for your division. I see a lot of RH leaning parks including Minute Maid in your division. You could drop down to R2 Rivera in similar price range to get a advantage vs righties or R3+ guys like Smith/Regen/Miljus/ Quiseberry to get an extra buck and upgrade someplace like DH or a better cheap RP than Crawford.

personally, i feel sutter is an asset in any park regardless of handedness. he will be my super reliever and pick up over 200 innings and hopefully win between 10-15 games. arroyo is around to catch innings when sutter is fatigued. i do not plan on crawford/campbell getting more than 20 innings a piece. hopefully.

i am not to crazy about my o'rourke/kress dh either, but i think it could cut it. could. it has before.

as always thanks for your input. i will keep your suggestions in mind.

Good team. Love Sutter anywhere. With Flick you are paying for CF defense but playing him in corner OF. If you can find extra $$ somewhere, need better OBP from C, 2b & ss (without giving up much D) -- need to put a lot of guys on base to score runs in your park.

You've got no rbi guys. No power. It depends on what the rest of the league looks like but that will hurt you. Guys that have rbis get them by flyball Bs as well as hits. You might wish you had a power guy for away games. Somebody cheap like Perez can be useful. I assume it is a DH league as you really don't have much in pinch hitters. You have no pinch runners. That will cost you a few games when one of your turtles get on and you need runs. He'll clog it up for everybody. Sutter is overkill but if HAL will listen and use him for a super reliever you might be ok. Arroyo isn't enough to take up for Kaat and Sadecki. Crawford and Campbell will face a lot of wrong side batters. Can't be sure without seeing the rest of the league but I think you could be in trouble. Your defense is strong up the middle so that will help. I would rather see more arm in CF is all. Look on your players cards for goundball A+s. Make sure you put them behind a base stealer as those become hits if the runner is held. You're going to have to get all you can out of them.

I like Sutter, make sure he gets 200 plus innings... You could probably use a little more power. Good fielding is important but balance might be more important. The best of luck!
