Batting average may be an issue, but outside of that I see a lot of values here.

RP Ryan Madson PHI R22 P5 Comment Like Eddie Said, Rajai Davis was a great value there.



Really like your pitching staff (not crazy about the closers), as you should do well in this category.



Your power looks REAL thin, as 2B is gonna hurt you. BA also looks like 3 points or less, as no bonafide .AVG hitters and Dunn, Granderson, etc. will drain your BA.



Pitching could help you, but I see a 5th place finish at best.....good luck!

RP Kevin Gregg TOR R25 P10 Comment Very interesting construction of a team. The part that sticks out to me is your top 4 OF's may only combine for around 40 HR's. Taking Morgan, Ellsbury, AND Borbon will keep your power numbers down, and besides them, I don't see a guy who will steal more than 10 bases. If one of them goes down, you are hurt big time in steals.



I like some of your backend starters, but the fact is Tim Hudson as a #3 is gonna hurt. And Kevin Correia as #4 is rough. Strasburg won't be up for a while, but you have 3 bonafide closers. I see you struggling mightily in wins and K's.



Overall, I see this team finishing in the bottom 1/2 of the league. I hope I am wrong.....good luck!

P- Brad Lidge R15 P12

P- CJ Wilson R30 P4 Your first time looks like my first time.



I also completely disregarded backend pitching, and it killed me. Not a fan of your pitching staff as Kazmir and Wade Davis as a 3/4 are weak. Bullpen is OK, but if Marmol is wild and Lidge is hurt, you are gonna struggle mightily in pitching.



I think your hitting looks decent. Getting ARam at 5.12 could be a steal (if healthy) and you don't have any noticeable holes in your infield or outfield, but UT could be a problem.



I could see this team finishing anywhere from 5th -9th....good luck!

For the record, I am certainly not a Childs, Jupinka, Gekko, etc. (but I am working on it ), but I love analyzing teams.



So please take my comments with a grain of salt.

I was extremely happy with this draft. The only thing that real worries me is BA. Billywaz I don't think that I am even close to being short in power. Thanks for the comments though keep them coming.

On 2nd glance, you are probably correct. I actually looked quickly at this, but if healthy (that goes for everyone), you should be OK.

RP Kevin Gregg TOR R25 P10 Comment First off, I like your start (Tex, Ellsbury, Cano, Morales) a lot. What I don't like is having Borbon and Morgan in your OF in addition to Ellsbury. I think you could have taken a couple OFs that contribute power and speed there. Also, you're relying on only a few players for all your steals, so if one goes down you'll have problems there.



Beckett and Billingsley is a solid start to the staff. I'm not sold on Hudson as a #3, I think Correia and Blanton will be ok for you though. I probably would have tried to get a better #3 and #4 to really solidify your staff. I think you'll probably have some problems on the back-end all year.
