You shoulda just gave me the $250 for my hotel room. This team doesn't look good at all. Only a few days for you to fix whatever is wrong Chris. Hurry!

I'm in the same league. Picked 10th. Do I have a shot?

By the way Spy you picked 13th if I am not mistaken. Your team looks pretty solid, especially the starting pitching and offensive team speed.

My concern is power, but I think I have enough bench to figure it out...



Spy

American Dreams,

Love the infield, I am worried a bit about speed for you. SP starts strong but some players who may just be too old. Need to find a good 2nd closer - will Gregg be the Guy?



Nice draft,



Spy

Thanks for the feedback. If Doty can stay healthy, he and K-Rod will form a nice closing tandem for you. I'm hoping Gregg, Linebrink, or Bray will emerge as my 2nd guy.



If Pence, Botts, or Butler can stick in the bigs you will have an extra impact bat that could really put your team over the hump.



Who looks like the team to beat in this league to you?

Peter Lucowicz, but I haven't studied all the teams yet



Spy

I like Lucowicz' team as well, although his outfield is questionable in both age and quality in my opinion. His pitching is strong. I wonder what his plan at 2B is?



Mark C. and Bruce B. look very strong and balanced to me.

Here are my thoughts on Mark C:

Does BJ Get a fulltime Job? Does Howie, Stephen, Anthony, or Kubel all achieve their capabilities? I like the team, but it has a lot invested in young guys though and therefore significant risk. My only knock is a few players may have been taken a tiny bit early



Here are my thoughts on Bruce B:

Overall good team, I think Atkins was a bit of a reach. I am worried a little bit about Power actually. Should have plenty of speed and good mix of established players and those with upside (shealey for example)

actually, I was thinking of Reyes, but Andre also works
