Here is my Online Championship Team from the 12-hole. I'd love to hear thoughts from anyone who cares to provide feedback, positive, constructive, or otherwise. Farnsworth getting hurt does not help my saves by any means, but I'm hopeful that between Reed, Romo and possibly a FA pickup, they can help Heath Bell keep me out of dire straights in saves. May need a FA pickup there.

Pitching a tad bit on the weak side for a 12-teamer, especially the bullpen with the Farnsworth injury news. But there probably are very few people here who wouldn't take that 1-2-3-4 in the bag to start any draft, very nice there, Hosmer/Lawrie is next to impossible to get at that point right now in drafts.

while i like a lot of your players, i'm not sure the team construction works. not enough hr or sb IMO
C R.Doumit - major PT risk with parmelee making club. may get sub 10hr from #1 catching position
C J.Buck - not a big fan due to batting avg risk and power trending downward. park is supposed to play slightly toward pitchers too
SS A.Escobar - not nough sb with the sub 5 hr and hitting at bottom of lineup
OF A.DeAza - wildcard. could go 10/20 or 5/10 (with demotion)

SP looks okay. Obviously a hole at RP

all of those things are fixable in a 12 teamer. GL
