Heir to the Throne

Starting Lineup: 34.91 (3rd)
-Tons of thunder in Fielder and Bautista. I don't like Arencibia (he will lose his job soon), and Aybar kinda bores me. Jesus Montero might not be ready to fill that U position yet. May wanna throw one of your nice bench options there until he gets his feet wet.

Pitching Staff: 25.21 (5th)
-Greinke, Haren, and Kennedy is a nice trio. Not big on Chacin or Bedard at this point. Saves should be fine. Teheren is a nice prospect to have, assuming he quits giving up homers.

Bench: 3.37 (2nd)
-Nice options on the pine in Gardner, Melky, and Kelly Johnson. Drew could finally put together a full season, too. Good job here.

Overall: 63.49 (2nd)
-Strong team all around. May want to consider trying to move some bench players for a catcher if Arencibia gets the boot quicker rather than later. Montero may be in full stride by then though. Playoff team, in my opinion, but maybe not the 2nd strongest like the ratings suggest.

Barry

Starting Lineup: 33.66 (4th)
-This team is ranked 4th in hitting, even though they get ZERO points out of their catcher (d'Arnaud isn't projected to get any stats on cbs). Top to bottom, it's probably the most balanced lineup. Pretty impressive.

Pitching Staff: 27.35 (1st)
I definitely don't agree with this being the #1 staff, because there are no saves outside of Betancourt. However, a Kershaw/Lee duo is not to be fricked with. Not big on Beckett and Santana, but they can get the job done. Ubaldo needs to pull his head out of his arse, and McCarthy needs to increase his k rate a little in order to be more effective in fantasy.

Bench: 4.24 (1st)
By far the best bench in the league. Every hitter on it could start for at least one other team in the league. Nice trade pieces to fill any holes (catcher) that may need to be addressed.

Overall: 65.24 (1st)
Bullseye on this team. I consider them the odds on favorite to win it all, assuming that moves are made to address saves and the catcher situation. If they aren't addressed, its still a playoff team, but one that will probably lose on the last at bat of the major league season.
