Would like to get input from anyone on the my pitching staff. To me it's strong other than saves. Any other weaknesses?

Well, you started off very nicely, and then it went to hell. Great front 3. And nice all around starters. But way too many relievers. And this is coming from someone who drafted 4 and thought that was too much!! You probably should have picked up a couple more starters in place of some of those relievers. Or even offensive players.

I think because the front of your rotation is so strong, you won't suffer too much. But you need to add depth as Kazmir is already ailing and you don't know what Pete is going to give you. And Bonderman is Bonderman.

J. Walker I would say your top 5 in your rotation are dominant. Kazmir comes back probably 3 weeks into April. I see great peripherals and lots of wins out of first five. What's not to like. I think Bonderman has a chance to be great (I may be alone on this) and Pedro is a real darkhorse this year considering he's the "loosest he's felt since 2002".



I'm a little perplexed regarding your one closer and 5 closers-in-waiting. You could have drafted 2 closers and one closer in waiting and saved the other 1 or 2 picks for whatever else you need. 3/4 of your bench are RP's, it's going to be tough when you have injuries to your offense.



Love the top 5 though. 5 aces with top 5 pitchers. I guarantee you that's one of the best first 5 SP's that anyone's got in your league.
