Louis's Losers

Starting Lineup: 35.69 (2nd)
-Well balanced squad here. Power from Teixeira, Beltre, Konerko. Speed from Reyes, Pence, Pedroia. I really like what Louie did with this lineup. Should be one of the best in the league.

Pitching Staff: 23.91 (8th)
-Roy Halladay is always nice to have (and Wilson is good), but there isn't a lot to depend on after that. Edwin Jackson is terribly inconsistent, and Pomeranz and Bauer are unproven. I'm not saying I don't like those two young guys, but you can't expect the world out of them this year. Bullpen in pretty decent shape. Focus on backup plans for Jackson and Dempster.

Bench: 2.67 (7th tied)
-I actually think his bench is better than what the numbers tell us. Aaron Hill could have a big year like he did when he hit 30+ homers, and the young guys like Belt and Alvarez could begin to establish themselves and capable fantasy producers.

Overall: 62.27 (3rd)
-I think the ranking of 3rd overall may be a little high, because I don't really love his pitching staff, but it's fair. I think this is certainly a playoff contender, and Louie pays enough attention to what's going on that he can fix problems as they arise.

Thanks for the effort redd

Don't like my staff at all outside of halladay and garza. Hated wilson in my keeper set and didn't like much in the draft outside of the first crop. Dempster can fall off a cliff and I wouldn't care. I really like jackson this year though.

31 World Order

Starting Lineup: 30.00 (9th)
Young bunch of guys here, which probably affects his rating a bit. Couple of question marks like Dunn bouncing back, Cruz staying healthy, etc. I love his OF though (probably my favorite OF in the league). Its just the uncertainty of the infield that causes concern. Goldschmidt, Ackley, Moustakas, Gordon is as inexperienced as it gets for an everyday lineup.

Pitching Staff: 24.44 (7th)
-I like this staff more than the ratings do, especially if Josh Johnson stays healthy. Hamels is a nice one to have as well. I expect big things out of Matt Moore and Drew Storen.

Bench: 3.14 (3rd)
-I don't like the bench as much as the ratings do, but it has some potential. Trout is a nice one to stash away until he's ready. Viciedo could figure it all out and start mashing. The veterans are solid.

Overall: 57.57 (10th)
-This team is better than 10th, in my opinion. Its got an odd makeup, but one that I think can make noise if that young infield plays to potential. Wicked OF, and some great arms make for a good base. Also, he's got a ton of young talent, and if things fall apart this year, he should have a strong core to build around in the future.

Dumbass Cajun

Starting Lineup: 32.03 (6th)
-Infield looks like my TDBL team, which isn't necessarily a good thing. The whole offense is full of above average performers, but no true studs (I don't consider Cargo to be a stud). However, this isn't a bad thing, because his biggest weakness is David Freese at the U spot, and that can become Trumbo OR Freese when Howard comes back.

Pitching Staff: 24.75 (6th)
-Linecum and Weaver make me moist. Zambrano and Liriano do not. Nova isn't as valuable in a league that doesn't use wins, but I like Minor a lot. Not huge on Porcello or Jurrjens due to low k rate. More question marks than sure things on this squad, but I know Geaux, and he can do a good job of managing whats working and what isn't.

Bench: 1.48 (12th)
-Won't get anything out of V-Mart, and Sizemore/Howard are out for extended periods. This obviously affects the ratings. Does Johan figure out how to be effective without a real fastball?

Overall: 58.26 (8th)
-Like I mentioned with CE's team, this one could easily be in 6th or better with a couple of adjustments in the ratings. I like the balanced offense, and am a little concerned with the erratic staff. Geaux seems to be concentrating on this league more than any other one though, so it could be fine.
