Obvious hole is steals, but you can deal a 1B to remedy that I'd think. Other than that, I really like this team.

I like the team too, but hes playing with fire. A lot of those guys are coming off career-ish years. Laroche-Desmond-Willingham-Encarnacion-Reddick are all regression risks IMO. Pitching wise, Sale may be awesome, but he also saw his IP increase a #### ton last year. Read somewhere that Weaver had all time low K-rates last year and his velocity is sitting somewhere around 88, which is a red flag. Keep in mind, Wrigley is my brother and I hate him.

I'll bite, Just drafted a team in a H2H PTS keeper. It is keep 4 and I kept Braun/Trout/Harper/Kershaw... Since it is points I tried to skew towards hitting with high OPB and a few decent SP and the rest I intend to stream 2 starters.

My team. 12 team h2h redraft yahoo league.

My team:

Pitchers: Jered Weaver, Madison Bumgarner, Mat Latos, Brandon Morrow, Matt Harvey, Mike Minor, Jeremy Hellickson, Julio Teheran, Andrew Cashner

C: Jesus Montero

1B: Fielder

2B: Neil Walker

SS: Alcides Escobar

3B: Evan Longoria

OF: Trout, Rios, Willingham

UTL: Ethier, Hosmer

Bench: Adam Dunn, Paul Konerko, Carl Crawford, Corey Hart

Once Hart goes on DL I'll add Gee, McDonald, or another pitcher, preferably one with RP eligibility. I know I punted saves, but I refuse to pay for saves. I'll monitor the WW during the year and build it up. I have too many 1B, but I can trade off some of it later or drop the ones that fail to perform (ala Hosmer last year). I've already considered dropping Dunn, but I'm holding for now.

I literally giggled like a school girl when Fielder fell me to @ pick 22. I then asked the commish, we were at his house, if I could borrow a pair of pants as mine were wet. The one regret I have is picking Ethier over Middlebrooks. I think Ethier will outperform Middlebrooks, but I wanted a decent backup 3B with Longoria being so damn injury prone.

I am not really familiar with 16 team leagues so I don't really know how the talent is spread out but I am very familiar with points scoring systems and I'm sorry to say but I am not a huge fan of the team. I'm guessing Kershaw/Sabathia is a great start for pitching and Cobb is a good candidate to improve significantly but Harrell and Nolasco are tough. Offensively I do not see enough there to compete. Having Mauer and A-Ram as the top 2 guys is tough. They are good but you just don't have enough there on offense. You have some good minor league prospects in the pipeline at SP but most won't be ready until next year at the earliest and probably later. I would have liked to see some minor league hitting prospects to help improve your offense in the future.

For suggestions, I don't see this team winning this year and therefore would be looking to move Sabathia and his contract to a team for hitting and maybe a young pitcher.

Pitching is great. Great mix of established guys and high upside starters. Hitting has 3 studs with Fielder/Trout and Longo. If this is H2H categories you should be competitive in most of them. If points your pretty set as well. If I had a complaint it wold be that I don't trust Rios and Willingham as the 2/3 guys and you could improve 2B/SS. But I don't really mind weak SS this year since after Zobrist tier, I do not like much there except Simmons.Maybe try and move Morrow for another hitter?

Yeah I forgot to mention it's 6x6 categories. I have concerns with Rios/Willingham as well, but figure at least one should perform. If not, Crawford/Hart/Ethier should be able to pick up the slack.Once I missed out on top SS/2B I purposely avoided it till the very end. In my predraft analysis I identified Escobar/Walker as young players who would be available late and who had a good chance of ending the year top 12 in their positions. If Walker had stayed healthy last year he would have done that last year, and Escobar will be hitting in the top of the order of an improved KC team. He hit .290 last year with 30+ steals. If he does that batting 1/2, he should contribute with a lot of runs as well.

I don't disagree that I am lacking hitting and could use a big time bat, tried to make a few deals in the off season and just couldn't work anything out. However 16 teams get pretty thin on talent so this team isn't hopeless, last year the same basic team finished 3rd in the regular season with a 151-89 record and 4th in points scored. 6 yeams make the playoffs and I lost in round 1. While not loaded with any real studs I also have no real weak spots that others have due to the size of the league. I went with the approach of trying not to overpay for guys so I had some flexibility, we will see how it works long term. For example one team that has money invested in stud hitters (Pujols, Braun, Stanton) is forced to start Donovan Solano at 2B and Mark Ellis at Middle Infield. So he has 3 guys that will score 600+ points in the big hitters but then is starting 2 guys that will score only 300 to 350. Meanwhile all my starters will be in the 550 to 450 range. My season will go as far as Kershaw and CC take it, I'm the only team with two predicted 700+ point pitchers.

I really worked hard to get Johnny Cueto over the offseason because he was signed to a very friendly 4 year $8 deal and would have then moved CC for a serious bat. We will see when we get down to the trade deadline, if I am out of it moving CC for a young pitcher and a bat is pretty much exactly what I was thinking, if I look to be in the playoffs I'll probably try to move a prospect and whatever to bring someone in.

Points league. 2pts per run/rbi. Steals 1pt.

Need to chose one OF.

M. Carpenter- Like him because of all his position eligibility. If he hits would be great down the road for me if he gets 2b eligibility.

J. Bradley- If he gets regular playing time where in the order will he bat?

J. Jay- Looks like the leadoff hitter.

S. Marte- Seems to have a high upside and batting leadoff.

Ichiro- Reliable but likely not the upside of the others and the Yankee lineup not as potent as in the past. Probably has the least downside and will finish near the top of this group regardless.

Duda- Power resurgence? Middle of the order.

I'm leaning towards Carpenter because I only have Scutaro and A. Ramirez up the middle and if Carp breaks out his potential 2b eligibility could really help.

Anyone stand out?

I know I punted saves, but I refuse to pay for saves. I'll monitor the WW during the year and build it up. I have too many 1B, but I can trade off some of it later or drop the ones that fail to perform (ala Hosmer last year). I've already considered dropping Dunn, but I'm holding for now. I literally giggled like a school girl when Fielder fell me to @ pick 22. I then asked the commish, we were at his house, if I could borrow a pair of pants as mine were wet. The one regret I have is picking Ethier over Middlebrooks. I think Ethier will outperform Middlebrooks, but I wanted a decent backup 3B with Longoria being so damn injury prone.

Lack of closers obviously a concern, but fairly confident I can work the waiver wire well enough to land a couple in-season. There was just a crazy run on closers in the middle rounds, so I grabbed some SPs that were falling. Need a lot to break right IMO cause I have some garbage at MI and OF depth. Figure I can flip a starter and piece a good pitcher together from between Doolittle/Collins/Bastardo. Figure I'll put together 15 W, 200 K's, and good ratios between those three by leaving them in every day.

Your pitching is struggling, but you can always find SP on the wire easier than position players.

Our infields are almost exactly the same. Your lineup has depth and covers most of the categories. I have no complaints. You have great pitching depth too. Closers arent great but youll make do and jansen is great for whip and ks. Thats a great team. Only weakness is 2b but walker had a great second half so i wouldnt worry too much

In a 5x5 league, I'd say that you're a little too steal-y and not homer-y enough in the OF, but in a points league, you're obviously only looking at the bottom line. The pitching looks pretty solid despite no superstars.
