Still pretty new to fantasy baseball, and did very little preparation, so hack away!

Projected starters and bench (with Sandoval still a ??)

C- Yadier Molina
C- Ryan Doumit

1B- Joey Votto
2B- Ian Kinsler
SS- Erick Aybar
3B- Evan Longoria
MI- Chase Utley
CI- Nick Swisher

OF- Austin Jackson
OF- Carlos Gomez
OF- Ryan Ludwick
OF- Lorenzo Cain
OF- Gerardo Parra

UT- Justin Smoak

BENCH- Pablo Sandoval, Eduardo Nunez, Cameron Maybin, Oscar Taveras

SP- Yu Darvish
SP- Madison Bumgarner
SP- Jordan Zimmermann
SP- Jonathan Niese
SP- Homer Bailey
SP- Roy Halladay

RP- Fernando Rodney
RP- Rafael Betancourt
RP- Carlo Marmol

BENCH- Joe Blanton, Tyson Ross, Sergio Santos

I know the OF is weaker (would love to see an early Taveras call up ), but I like the infield, and the staff could be solid. Halladay not a target at all, but at SP #6 in the 22nd round.......

Alll feedback is appreciated!!

I'm no expert on 12 tm'er (actually I'm no expert period) but you did ask for feedback so.........man that looks like a very good team to me. As a guy who rostered Pablo in the Main I sure hope we can count on him and if so it makes your team EVEN stronger b/c you could move Smoak to CI, Swish to OF and Parra to bench. Of course Parra will play alot while both Eaton & Ross start the season on the DL so you've got some solid options there.

SP is strong too, esp. if the Doc can bounce back from a terrible 2012 (and ST), as a Phillie fan I sure hope so. Nice balance of K guys and ratios too. Not as in love w/ your RP. Rodney was incredible last yr, can he do it again? Betancourt is on a craptastic team and Marmol is Marmol. But as long as they continue to Get The Saves it's all good I suppose.

Good luck.
