Rate My Team on a 1-10 scale and tips/pointers?
lets go player by player


c-johjima is a top 5 catcher in baseball


1b-prince could hit close to 30 homers and 100 rbis or sophmore slump could hit him hard and he could really do bad


2b-howie kendrick is on tab to really produce this year for the angels.....


3b- encarnacion is a cheap 30 homer threat but comits alot of errors decent value


ss- reyes is best in game good for 60-70 steals this year really produces in mets lineup will score alot of runs this year


of- holliday is a GREAT pick good for 30+/110+/.300+ with alot of upside for those numbers to even improve...


of- jason bay is a great young of with alot of potential and always good for about 30 homers and 100 rbis and good average


of- rocco is injury prone i wouldnt trust him but if healthy good basestealin threat and can hit for power and average as well


util- hafner is a beast plain and simple lol


UTIL- Rafael Furcal- is a true basestealer who cna hit for average and decent power at his position good for 30sb or so


Bench- Brad Hawpe- good young player good for 20homers 90 rbis and such with a decent average





SP- C.C. Sabathia- dont know bout his injury right now but if healthy on tap for 18 wins with revamped bullpen of cleveland indians.


SP- Chris Young is a good young talent but im just not tottaly sold on him but has electric stuff could be darkhorse for nl cy young


SP- Rich Hill should not be your third starter isnt as established as first two but wil do just fine in chicago


SP- John Patterson- when healthy can k 200 ...was announced the ace of the staff in washingotn if healthy also good for 16 wins or so


SP- Scott Olsen- olsen is a good young talent that has a good arm and can be an innings eater


SP- AJ Burnett- if healthy and regained to old form can dominate hitters at time good for 200k as well


SP- Clay Hensley- GREAT pick ...will surpirse alot of people with a breakout year of about 14 wins and 170 k


SP/RP- Adam Wainwright- another GREAT sleeper pick has an era of under one this spring and i expect his stuff to stay the same throughout the year


RP- Mariano Rivera- is the best nuff said lol good for 40 saves and an era around 1


RP- Brian Fuentes- good closer is proven and he will grab ya 30 or so saves


RP- Eric Gagne- if healthy could come back to dominating like the old days and early indications are he is doin just fine but wont pitch back to back days right away expect 25-35 saves this year


RP- Jason Isringhausen- is old and broken lol no if healthy good for under 30 saves





Free Agents:


Bobby Crosby- i would say no to picking him seeing as he is injury prone and offense is not scary in oakland


Austin Kearns- no to him as well hitting out in cavernous rfk wont put up kearns like numbers that his potential has shown


Jorge Cantu- yes only if he can regain his all star form pre injury when he could swing a mean bat and field really well...i expect him to bounce back and produce well again with 20+hr/90rbis/.290


Ken Griffey Jr- injury prone as well but still good for 20 homers or so possibly 30 if he can stay healthy long enough


Chris Duffy- great basestealer but thats about all he can do expect him to be a scott podsednik type player with an awful average and gaudy sb numbers


Conor Jackson- is projected to really breakout this year in zona


Jonny Gomes- i expect a big year out of him god for 25+ homers and 100 rbis but average hanging around .260 but if healthy will produce for sure


Chris B. Young- isnt goign to produce right away but i expect a decent rookie year out of him


Luke Scott- could quite possibly start if lane continues his spiral downward





Joel Zumaya-YES TO HIM he will eventually be closing in detroit and can dial it up


Jeremy Sowers- GREAT sleeper who will reallystep up in clevleand this year good for 12-16 wins this year


Tim Hudson- has never panned out in the nl so i would say no


Chuck James- GREAT sleeper who has an era under 1 this spring and will produce those same numbers during the season good for 15 wins or so


Pat Neshek- is a releiver who wont get you alot of innings so no


John Maine- no to him as well because he isnt really dominant fantasy stat type pitcher


Homer Bailey- wont even play much thsi year to start could be a call up halfway through


Matt Miller- to be honest witih you i dont even really know about him


Derrick Turnbow- has turned it back up this year and could quite possibly close if cordero chokes


Anthony Reyes- has been lightsout of lat ein spring as well


Chad Billingsley- id say no to him seeing as he wont be starting either


Adam Loewen- good young talent in baltimore but hasnt harnessed his stuff fully last year although he did shutout the yanks twice last year


Oliver Perez- NO NO NO era will sky rocket and he was a basically one hit wonder due to major surgery








so i would say overall your team could use one more basestealer such as duffy, taveras, or dave roberts...a couple of sleeper hitters that are most likely on the wire who you could look at are adrian gonzalez, ty wigginton, or chris duncan as well...but overall i would say your team has a great mix of power and average throughout the entire lineup





as for your staff i would say that you have maybe one really proven pitcher in cc but your rp are excellent....you could look at a couple of pitchers like chuck james, or a jeremy sowers and id say keep an eye on todd jones and if he starts to faulter as closer grab zumaya right away


hope i helped


goodluck and have fun!!!
Reply:You should drop hensley for reyes, and you need more hitters. Maybe try and package furcal and isringhausen for a better 3rd baseman.
Reply:H2H - If WHIP and K's And ERA factor in Pick up Zumaya even though he is middle relief his K's and low era/whip add value to your staff as a whole.





Offensively you look fine. If Adrian Gonzales (1B SD) is available I'd pick him up too.





I give you a SOLID 7.6
Reply:Very Good Batting Order, too many pitchers considering it's a head-to-head league, your biggest weak link is Encarnacion and Kendrick, Kendrick has a possibility of going for 20 HR and 20 SB so you should try and concentrate on trading your pitchers on a much better 3B and if possible Kendrick but the 2B market is weak right now so i'm not sure anyone is willing to give up their 2B, i'll rate it an 8.5
Reply:Drop Hensley for Zumaya and try to upgrade third. In a ten person league you should have a better batting line-up-you seem to have stocked releivers, try trading one or two of them for some better hitting.
Reply:good i guess
Reply:Your team is great dude! You got guys with severe talent, that bust their a$$e$ everyday, and have room for potential and growth (as if they didn't p0wn already). Holliday, Kendrick and Hawpe are as good as they get. Chris Young and Clay Hensley will be household names by next season. You heard it here first from the Fantasy Girly! ~N
