GodBlessChrisLeroux:

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.

Schafer's Vroooooooooooom (Volfan)

Starting Lineup - 8th
Here is another middle of the pack offense that won't be great at anything, but won't be terrible either. The team is ranked between 6th and 9th in all 5 categories. I really like the youth that is on this team, but it is youth that can produce now.
Players I like - Upton, Castro, Alonso, Beltran
Players I don't like - Ackley

Pitching - 2nd
Top ranked starting pitching staff in the league IMO. The only reason they aren't ranked number 1 is the RP is ranked at 11th since there is only 1 guy that is going to get save chances at the beginning of the year, and that is Capps who is not that good. King Felix, Stras, Josh Johnson, and Romero are all guys who can produce like #1's. I just love the upside there.
Players I like - The ones I listed, as well as Volquez.
Players I don't like - Feliz, Wandy, Capps

Bench - 8th
The only reason this bench isn't ranked higher is there isn't much of one. It is very thin. I do like the upside of Lorenzo Cain who I was really hoping would become a Brave a couple of years ago.

Overall - 6th (5.30)
Pretty good team that could become a very good team with the addition of a closer or two. If Johnson and Stras stay healthy, people will have a hard time winning the other 4 pitching categories every week, and the offense will be competitive. I see this as a team that will be right there for the playoffs all year long.

My team looks nothing like I had planned, but I'm still happy with it.

I really like my bench, I think I'll be able to make a couple moves before the end of the year.

This is my first fantasy league, so I'm okay with my team
