Assign a letter grade to your slow draft team HERE

[TOXIC ASSETS]

OK guys, dog days of February are here so let's post some 50 round slow draft teams on this thread. Let's keep it simple. Give a letter grade on the entire team: A,B,C,D, or F (Dead Money). To start it off, here is my team from a 15 team slow draft completed about a month ago. Sitting here in February I like the pitching better than the hitting.

I would give it a C. I think there are some rough spots, especially at the back end of your rotation and closers. If Jose Valverde somehow gets a closing gig, you may be fine. Cannot get much better than Strasburg, Dickey, Johnson and Kimbrel, at the front of your staff, but it falls off a cliff from there and having to strart Valverde, Frieri, and Clippard might leave you extremely short in your accumulating pitching categories.

It's hard for me to give more than a "C" to this squad. I think there is a huge problem in the back half of the offense, especially in the outfield and at MI. Having to start Francoeur, Seth Smith, Delmon Young and Ryan Roberts is brutal in my opinion. Tyler Greene could be a savior at MI if he wins the starting gig in Houston, and Logan Morrison could help to fix the OF, but I don't see enough depth at the position to sustain the season.

As others have said, the top half of the rotation is excellent. It drops off quickly after that though, and I don't think you have enough starting pitching overall to sustain the grind of the season without FAAB. I think that in the dog days of summer, you could be struggling to find 6 healthy starters every week, and definitely will have problems keeping pace in Wins and Strikeouts.

Bench SP- J De La Rosa, J Lackey, A Cashner, L Hendricks, J Lyles, H Alvarez, L Harrell, W LeBlanc,

At first glance, I would give this squad a "B'. You're correct in your assessment that the offense will be light on speed, and possesses significant average risk. The rest of the counting stats look like they should be strong though.

The pitching staff looks pretty strong overall, and I like that you backed up Grilli with Melancon. I still think you could be light on saves, but taking shots on Coke and Strop could help to alleviate that problem if they can net a few. I like the overall depth of the starting rotation quite a bit.

RP - Kimbrel, Cishek, Veras (Francisco, Thornton)

I would also give this team a solid "B" at first glance. There is a lot of batting average risk throughout the lineup, and it's hard to envision this team finishing with more than 5 league points in the category. It also looks a touch light on speed in my estimation, and will need Coco Crisp to remain healthy to have a fighting chance in that category.

The pitching staff looks strong through the first 6-7 starters, but I think the backend of the rotation could cause some headaches. The bullpen looks fairly strong, and even if Veras only keeps the job for a couple of weeks, he should chip in a few saves.

Very solid infield and front line pitching. I don't believe there is a DC team with a pitcher, beyond #7, that looks very good, and if they do, they are probably short on hitters. Your team is no different. It appear you will have to rely on Saunders/Correia as your 7th starter, because after that, there isnt much there. But, I think if you limit the injuries to your staff, closers and front line hitters, you have a shot... I give it a "B", mainly because of the hitting..

Lets not get ahead of ourselves... this isn't an "A" team. Pitching is very good throughout, but I see the team being short on power and middle infield is weak (even assuming no suspension for Cabrera). I would say a "B" because of the superior pitching and speed.

we all have "ifs" at this stage of the season. with tex, napoli, and ortiz, i like his "ifs" more than most power gambles. james may have serious difficulty if more than a couple of his power hitters get injured, ( his bench looks short ), but i think that is the case for most of our teams.

Even "if" his "ifs" have career years, I see 230 HRs at best.. that is not going to cut it. Too many powerless guys (Cabrera, Bonifacio, Tejada, De Aza, Gardner) and that's not including Infante.. All of us have holes.. Not saying we don't. But, I was just questioning your "A" grade. That's all.

Definitely have a shot at being in the money. Pitching alone will give you 60+ points. If your hitting stays healthy, you are looking good..
