nice team, but im sure alot of them are in a 10 teamer. i usually play 12, but you have a nice balance. pitching a little weak, but it should be alright.

Thx for the input. I'm also concerned about pitching....particularly Wins and Ks. Will be keeping a close eye on the wire for some help.

True...my concern is that 3 of my best pitchers are in the AL East.On a side note...wondering if I should drop Arroyo and pickup Maddux? Does he have anything left?

in a ten team league, you'll be able to improve your pitching by watching who emerges and being first to the waiver wire. last year i got shields that way. do you have a dl spot where you could stash escobar?

and, i may be alone on this, but i'd rather take a chance on percival than borowski. i think your hitters are better than any on the wire.

id rather stick with the team you know will give him more chances, but both are scary.

Thx for the help. Percival had a strong spring, but I'm worried about adding another TB pitcher. I will be keeping a close eye on him.

True....that's why I picked up Wood...hopefully he can stay off the DL this yr.

Drop Meche pick up Escobar.

 

[daddymag]

Nope, Escobar might need shoulder surgery.
