Here it is! First off, I know my pitching is WEAK and it's because every pitcher got sniped right before I picked. It's only an 8 team league and I had the 4th pick.

C-Joe Mauer
1B-Mark Trumbo
2B-Robinson Cano
3B-Evan Longoria
SS-Brandon Phillips
OF-Jose Bautista
OF-Josh Willingham
OF-Yoenis Cespedes
UTIL-Ryan Zimmerman
SP-Cole Hamels
SP-Jake Peavy
RP-John Axford
RP-Jose Valverde
P-James Shields
P-Lance Lynn
P-Hiroki Kuroda
BENCH-Miguel Montero
BENCH-Justin Morneau
BENCH-Carlos Beltran
BENCH-Josh Reddick
BENCH-Kyle Seager


I am huge into fantasy football, but this is the first time I've done a fantasy baseball!

Drop Jose Valverde, he isnt even in the majors right now.

[MikeWilliamsFan]

I'd say A on hitting, B- on pitching

[CC_123]

I dropped Valverde and picked up Hisashi Iwakuma!

And I'm confident in my hitters, just hoping my pitching surprises me! Need a lot of W's!

For a 8 team league the pitching is really rough in every category.

Not much speed on this team, but the rest of the offense looks good.

Go back to waivers again, Hisashi? Seriously?

He is a SP that I can plug into the RP position since he isn't assigned one. He is about the best thing out there for RPs. RP positive is very thin for solid pitching in the league. If I can get 10 out of Hisashi a night, that's better then a RP will usually get me.

whats the system.... no sb's . because you wont get any..not gonna get a high ba and you will get 0 saves.. lol.. trade kuroda to a team with weak sp's and ask for a decent closer like street, grilli, or hannahan ..

How will Axford not get me any saves?

[DetectiveChrome]

If this is a Roto league, I'd say very weak, like D+. Pitching is weak - no elite pitchings from a fantasy standpoint. Closing is bad - only Axford, who is more than servicable.

Good power, but no speed on the bags or guys that will hit .300 hitting other than Cano and Cespedes??

Points league - I'd say weak.

Well, I'm 3-2 and on a 3 game win streak. I've made some roster changes and my team has improved from it. Here is what my starting lineup is this week! (My new roster)

C-Joe Mauer
1B-Mark Trumbo
2B-Robinson Cano
3B-Evan Longoria
SS-Brandon Phillips
OF-Dexter Fowler
OF-Jose Bautista
OF-Nate McClouth
UTIL-Jean Segura
SP-Justin Masterson
SP-Jake Peavy
RP-Addison Reed
RP-Hisashi Iwakuma
P-Lance Lynn
P-James Shields
P-Hiroki Kuroda

Bench-Justin Morneau
Bench-Josh Willingham
Bench-Ryan Zimmerman
Bench-Yeonis Cespedes
Bench-Cole Hamels
IR-Coco Crisp

I've gotten players that have been getting SBs and my pitching has been pretty strong overall (surprisingly). I'm currently winning this week as well, but the game just started yesterday, but I think I've made some excellent FA moves!
