Can't afford to move any of my top 4 pitchers pct...dropoff is too steep after them.

Lind isn't shields value anyway.

#11 PortCity

Port has some nice hitters; the problem i see is that he lacks POWA. However, guys like Lind, Smoak, Cosart, and Ramos all have potential to hit more HRs than they are projected to. I think his starting lineup is very solid overall with good players; none great. His bench also has 2-3 guys i could see contributing.

His pitching is one big question mark; though that could go either way. Anibal as well all know if very solid. Scherzer seems to be the #2, and if he has a year like last year, will be a huge let down for you. Feliz has questions. Johan is intriguing, I like what he has done this spring. But can he be trusted? I like guys like Leake and Nova. Only 1 closer here in Street.

Overall its a team with a lot of solid players, just none that are great. What that means is he'll prob get a lot of teams fits week to week. Not sure he is ready to compete with the top ones, but he will with just about everyone else.

Yeah, I pretty much have no bench. That could and should change during the season though.

And I think Cain is going to be pretty decent.

I really need Weeks and Hamilton to stay healthy/sober.

#10 TigerPhan

It really gets hard at this point to rank the teams. I have phan at 9 mainly because of injuries and because his staff. Miggy and Joey Bats anchor his lineup, and that may be the best combo in the league. But his 3rd and 4th best hitters are Hart and Ryan Howard, both who are dealing with injuries. With them out the next in line is Brennan Boesch. He showed some potential, but still needs to put it together. The rest of his hitters are solid, but im not sure they are ready to step in for Hart and Howard.

His pitching in my eyes leaves a lot to be desired. Beckett was an ace last year, but it seems he has one of those years every few years then falls back down. His #2 Floyd or Colby. Or maybe Morrow. AFter Beckett its basically just a bunch of SP3/SP4. I think it is the weakest staff of al the contenders, and will need to be upgraded to have any shot.

Overall this team will fight for a playoff spot. He needs his bats to get healthy and will definitely need to upgrade his pitching in some form or fashion.

#9 Jew T

Jew T is #8 because i dont really like what i am seeing on the injury front here. Carl Crawford has a wrist injury, those can be a bitch. Posey is coming back from a horrible ankle injury. And then Justin Morneau has concussion issues and is like 1-40 this spring. I would say he could maybe withstand that, but his bench is horrible. But his starting lineup is has a lot of talent, and I couldn't really ignore it. This team has the potential to fall back a few spots if these guys don't heal up. In the mean time he needs guys like Vicideo and Desmond to pick up slack.

His pitching seems better than its every been for Jew T. It always seems like his weak spot, but that may be different this year. Josh Johnson needs to stay healthy of course. He has Hellickson and Garcia following JJ, not huge K guys, but they do well in all other categories. Kuroda and Fister with solid depth, and Bauer waiting in the wings. As far as his bullpen goes, he has 2 closers who are both solid mid level guys.

Overall this team, if healthy, should fight hard for playoffs. But as i said earlier, the lack of depth could spell doom for his hitting, which is already injured. Let's wait and see how this one plays out. It could go either way.

#8 Barry

Barry's hitting is a good mix of young and old, powa and speed. I think a lot is going to depend on what ARod and Rollins bring this year. Can Granderson repeat last year? Can Kendrick? Will Rios come back to life? Overall I like all these guys and i see their potential. I feel like for as much as he seemed to add depth on the bench, that a l lot of them were swing and miss.

HIs pitching front 3 is really good. But as i mentioned above, he loaded up on hitting depth and didnt add any pitching depth. It may not be a big deal, but after his big 3 of CC, CJ, and Hamels, he has a poo sandwich. Let's hope for his sake it doesnt get to that. His closer situation is decent, though i think Nathan gets hurt or losses his job eventually.

This team is really talented, but something just doesn't sit right with me. a 7 ranking is very good for this league, but it just seems like this squad is teeter tottering. I can't quite pinpoint it.

I'm ok with this, although I feel my pitching will out perform what it may look like on paper.

Also I won't be keeping Halman, that may have dragged my rating down

#7 Drunken Clams

His hitting at the top is really good with Votto, Braun, & Zimmerman. From there though, the power declines big time. I like Fowler and Maybin, but as complimentary players. I didn't really like those guys are keeper options. As good as Clams is at the top, I think he will struggle big time to get stats in the power categories. Torii Hunter and Ike Davis will really need to pick up some slack here. But you can't ignore the talent.

Clams pitching staff is the reason he is 6th and not 8 or 9th. I really like is top 3 and overall depth. Price, Latos and MadBum. Cahill, Matuz, Luebke. He has 3 closers, though Jim JOhnson and League are not my favorite guys. I think Bailey has a huge year.

Overall I think the backend of his hitting lacks, but his pitching may make up for it. Or if he so chooses, he may have to trade Votto or Braun for a few sticks if he really wants to win this thing. Very intriguing team here.

I'm guessing LE didn't rank himself. 5 spots left with 6 teams.

#6 Rondo

Rondo as usual doesnt really have a bunch of stud hitters, but he has a cluster of above average guys. On paper these guys may be a notch below this ranking, but I like guys like Pena, Pablo and Ethier to have good years. Im also high on Rasmus as i kept him in RW3R. I also think he has the best bench so far. I really like Doumit, Ian Stewart, Pressley this year. Stephen Drew was a nice pick late as well.

Ron's staff is 4 deep, I think he is one of 2-3 teams that can really boast that claim. He gobbled up a lot of value in the draft. I could see a few of his 2ndary pitchers getting a decent return on the trade market. They arent big K guys, but solid pitchers nonetheless.

Overall top to bottom this is one of the smoothest teams Ive com across. No real holes, which should lead to a very solid record.
