bill if those stats are legit, that would make you a contender. i can weed through all the BS projections and give you the GG projections if you'd like...

[/QUOTE]I think he's really good on RBI-SB-W-SV. He's OK on HR-AVG-WHIP. He falls short on R-ERA-K's



IMO based on my targets I think it will take to win it???

Just another team in the online drafts.

What sets it apart from others in your mind?

hitting based on my projections...

run 1096

hr 267

rbi 1110

sb 137

avg .278-.279



Summary - good rbi/run. hr and sb are lacking. i'm not a big andrus fan, so that is why your sb grade out pretty bad in my system.



i don't do pitcher projections, only an eyeball test.

not enough wins. mid/back-end guys not good enough. your SP might be acceptable in a 15 team league, but not a 12 team league. i do need to mention something good...closers are studs!!



overall - those projections/eyeball test are with morneau and baker missing only a few games. if so, probably finish in the 40th-50th percentile...basically an average team.

I ran your team for fun and came up with almost 20 more HR and almost 20 more SB than GG, but with a 3 or 4 point lower BA and slightly fewer R/RBI. Probably the same overall outcome for hitting points. However it does seem to be a balanced offense in respect to the categories so you probably could muster up some more hitters thru FABB if needed for Andrus/Murphy/Whoever else might not come thru.



Pitching seems average overall - I'd expect better back end SP's in a 12 team draft.

I'm in agreement on Morneau and Ludwick. I think Bruce will get his HR's - whether or not his BA comes with it is up in the air.

i appreciate the input. i guess we'll just play it out and see, just like everyone else is going to. everybody has an elvis andrus, matt weiters, david price..etc. on their team that can raise the value of their team over a season. josh hamilton, evan longoria and albert pujols made a lot of people winners last year.

being a mediocre team can turn into a winner with luck and good use of the FAAB.



GL to all

Very misleading post. :(



Most players get 100 more at bats before the break.
