agreed, not having a pick this year in 2 and 3 killed filling in pitching depth for me. I'll be hunting the waiver wire a lot this year.

#5 Lester Earl

My plan with my keepers was to keep a player at just about every position, so i could draft BAP. I went into draft and landed 3 of the top 5 hitters on my list. My team is not overly powerful like years past, but that is how I wanted it. A little more speed, some more runs. Overall I was looking for more balance. We'll see if it works. I thought I landed some nice pieces on my bench. I was happy to find Domonic Brown in the last round, who was a keeper last year i believe?

Pitching after my big 2, im not sure what to think. I tried to find a replacement for Carp up until the draft last night, no dice. IF he can come back and give me 180 good innings, I'll be happy. Im looking for Billingsley or Volquez, or both, to rebound in a big way. I don't really have a full time closer at this point, but I like my options there. Broxton and Jansen will both eventually close games.

Ovearll i think my team is similar to Rondo, just a nice assembly of talent up and down. Pithing may be a question somewhat, but I think it will work itself out.

#4 Gyno

Gyno has a great 4 some of mashers on his squad, Naps, Beltre, Konerko and Uggla. Jay Bruce too. This team should hit a lot of HRs.It has little to no speed, but who needs speed. I like Ibanez on his bench, but other than that, I cant really fap. Though INfante is intriguing. This is a lineup that will be top 3 or so in power categories at full health.

Pitching at the top is great with Lee and Weaver. Can Garza reapeat his 2011 season? Something about him im not sure of. Bucholz is a solid SP3 if healthy. I could see some potential problems with the starting staff, but as of now it will do.

Why is this team 4? I guess because i have a power infatuation and this team has it. As well as 2 ace starters and a 2 closers. I could see this team anywhere from 4-7, but at this point I like him slightly better than the others.

#3 Redd fig

No real superstar hitters. But a good collection of 'star's. What needs to happen to hold this position? Kinsler, JJ hardy and Beltran stay healthy. Cuddyer to hit in Coors like expected. Gordon and Stubbs to hit and swipe some bags. That may seem like a lot of questions, but I think it will all line up fine. His bench is OK, nothing great. I didnt like the Cespedes pick.

HIs pitching i really like. Cain, Greinke and Gio is a very good 3 some, with Marcum at 4. He also took Sale and Chapman who both have huge upside moving to starter. Axford and Farnsworth at closer is a good 2some as well. I feel like for once Redd has a really good staff. It is the main reason i have him so high.

OVerall this team as of now is 3. As i said above, I could see it slide if some of those hitters don't answer the bell. His staff will compete with anyone, however.

if Konerko can keep up his power numbers at 36 years old, i will be very impressed

i know it's not a popular opinion, but i do like Wells as a nice bounceback candidate

#2 Rouge

Rouge has a nice lineup with fantasy studs AGon, Kemp and Reyes at the top. He will need Pence and Kendrys to really mash and stay healthy though. I liked the Prado pick, that was a steal. Utley is a wildcard. Overall he has some nice thump as well as speed. I think his bench will prove pretty worthless though.


Like his hitting, his pitching is really top heavy with Verlander and Kershaw. Filling in up the back, I think he'll be able to find 1 or 2 guys to lean on. Dempster, Liriano, or Ubaldo. Overall that is a pretty good group of 5 pitchers. Basically just let the first 2 shut everyone down and hope the others dont mess it up. The bullpen doesnt bring much, but i dont see that as a big deal.

#1 Cwill

Not much needs to be said, as i think i said enough last year when i stated he has the most talent every assembled on a team in this league. Will he shite the bed again? I see a team with 3 top 10 OF. The top SS. a top 5 1B and C. As well as David Wright and Phillips. Not much needs to be said.


If there is a weak spot, and i say that lightly, it is the pitching. King Felix is great as is Gallardo. buttttt there might be a little vulnerability after that if some of these guys dont step up. His pen is solid with Mo and Venters as well as Betancourt.

Overall its a team with little weakness. The biggest weakness may be the manager. this is definitely the team everyone is shooting for

I'd have myself in the 5-7 range, but thanks for the write up.

health could be a big issue with cwill, especially wright and stanton

team wins 7-9 cats a week at full health

also, his starting of pagan and venable at utility is less than optimal

that being said, his keepers are so strong that he has lots of wiggle room
