Nope.



My honest opinion is that you accepted far too much risk in a league with no in season FAAB.



Your team looks to fall short of every hitting category target. I'd say if you get 4 or 5 points in each category that would be more than reasonable. If something happens to either of your only two SB guys you're in even more trouble.



Even if you just look at last years stats for your hitters you'd have probably only ended up with about 33 hitting points. If you're shooting for 58-59 hitting points you'd have to expect the team to increase it's production by 75%! That's asking a lot. I realize that a lot of teams will fall short using last years stats, but that doesn't mean it's irrelevant. We have to determine why the team fell short. Was it due to injuries? Rookies who will be playing full time this year? Or was it lack of skill? I think the players on your team who didn't perform well last year don't have much upside and the ones who did have mostly downside.



As for pitching I actually think your first 6 are decent, but with no FAAB I'd have opted for a much safer reserve squad to fill in when the injury bug hits Burnett and the rest.



I would usually say good luck trying to FAAB your way out of your holes, but...hopefully your team just out performs my expectations.

I don't know....but it was entertaining reading the spellings.

I especially liked Quails and Cruise
