31 World Order:

Starting Lineup - 6th
Pretty good starting lineup except for one thing, there is no speed. This team finished 12th when graded in SB and it really wasn't close. This team will be fine when it comes to power as they graded out in the top 5 for HR, RBIs, and OPS. There is a good mix between veterans and youth.
Players I like - Hosmer, Weiters, Gordon, Morrison
Players I don't like - Drew, Adam Jones

Pitching - 10th
This team finished last for SP and best for RP, so that leads to a 10th place pitching ranking for me. I'm really not a big fan of anyone in the current rotation, but at least there are some guys with upside, such as Minor. I'm high on every single one of 31's RP, especially Jansen, who I hope can grab the closer's job sooner rather than later.
Players I like - Minor, all closers
Players I don't like - Garza, Norris, Danks

Bench - 3rd
Really like the bench with Mayberry and Howard, and Victor will be a nice piece for next year's team if he holds onto him for the entire year.
Howard will be a nice add when he is able to come back.

Overall - 8th (7.5)

Starting Lineup - 9th
This team ranked out slightly below average in every hitting category, but I like what was done. I do think this team could fare a lot better with a little more power, but a healthy Morales could help that.
Players I like - Morales, Swisher, Napoli, Kendrick
Players I don't like - Zimmerman, Stubbs

Pitching - 6th
This pitching staff confused me. It started off really well with Kershaw, Hamels, and Beachy. I didn't understand many of the other picks for a k/9 league. Jurrjens, Buerhle, Alvarez. Just don't like what was done in the back end. Having two good closers in Valverde and Street will help things out.
Players I like - Kershaw, Hamels, Beachy, Valverde
Players I don't like - Most everyone else

Bench - 4th
Good solid bench filled with veterans that can help produce. I like Peralta a lot and think Hill will have a good year. Soriano, KJ, and even Chipper could also fill in if need be at some point in the year. I do wish there was one player with more upside on the bench, though.

Overall - 7th (7.15)
This is the end of the tier of this team, 31, and TBD, who were all ranked pretty close together. All are capable of making the playoffs, but I do believe each could make one or two deals and improve their chances dramatically.

You only really need like 4 starters in a league like this. I got 3 that I am comfortable with and a few with big upsides. I feel that my pen will help me out with this.
