Rate my Fantasy Baseball team 1-10 and give me advice.?

okay bro lets have a look at it player by player

and see what your strengths and weakness are and what these players should give u for the year

c- Ramon Hernandez.....A much-mocked '06 signing, Hernandez proved the haters wrong by becoming one of the most valuable catchers in fantasy. He benefited from his bandbox home park (.959 home OPS; .679 road OPS), but last time i checked, he's still an Oriole. He's very useful again this year....he does really well in offensive categorys and should help your team out overall his numbers should look like 20/90/.280 on the year for hernandez out in baltimore.........

1b- Pujols is the guy you want first overall, over Alex Rodriguez, Johan Santana and anyone else you care to name. Ho hum, his OPS last year was 1.102, a career-high 49 HR, a career-high 137 RBI, struck out just 50 times, all while landing on the DL for the first time, which lowered his AB and his MVP candidacy. He's just 27.....so look for his numbers to be in the range of 50/140/.330 and 10 sb as well....

2b- polancos decent, but hollow BA as Polanco doesn't steal or drive in runs. He's only topped 126 games once in his career, so don't expect an iron man. He's a solid, but unspectacular source of runs and BA in fantasy basebal but not a hell of alot else...he will get ya 10/ 60/.300 on the year in detroit

3b- Chad Tracy is highly overlooked....2005 is looking like a premature peak. He should repeat 2006 this year, but be careful of that climbing strikeout total.....3b is deep this year so you didnt need to draft right away....should be good for about 20/80/.270 on the year out in arizone where that team may shock you....

ss- Jonny Peralta....Peralta was the walking poster-boy for the sophomore slump in 2006, and we believe he'll bounce back in 2007 since his peripherals stayed solid. His struggles actually give him sleeper status, and you shouldn't hesitate to grab him later/cheaper than you did last season while expecting improved results...20/75/.275 on the year in a very underrated very powerful lineup out in cleveland where taht team will do better than expected...

of- Jason Bay....On the plus side 100/100 is rare, and speed plus power is even rarer. On the minus side, 35/15 is realistic, he can do it all basically he is a stud in almost every category.....expect him to give you numbers such as 35/120/.300 and steal 15 bases this year as well out in pittsburgh

of- J.D Drew........His skill-set is perfect for Boston's front office and that line-up. His personality is another question, as is his shoulder. With Drew, it's always about staying off the DL. The Sox will be careful with him and get a solid season out of him....can do extremely well there or really suffer its all on him but i think he will do really well in boston so numbers such as 25/95/.310 are realistic for him in a high powered lineup

of- Kevin Youkilis........Eligibility at 1/3 and OF make him interesting, but he'll need to regain the power he showed in the first half of '06. Will score more often than Wilmer Valderama at the Playboy Mansion if he bats at the top of the Sox line-up.....lol......hes a very solid player look for him to give you 20/75/.295 on the year

of- Coco Crisp.....Coco's hand hurt all year, but nothing wrong with his legs (22 steals). At age 27, he has huge bounceback potential (20/20) as he should do just fine but not hitting at the top of that lineup will hurt some of his numbers just a bit....look for him to give you 17/60/.290 and steal 28 on the year in boston

util- Joe Crede had an unreal year lsat year....Crede finally took a good step toward that potential Ozzie Guillen is always talking about (at least that's what we think he's saying). As long as back is healthy, expect similar numbers this year. Strong 3B in all leagues.....dont expect his numbers to drop off from last year....good for 30/95/.280 for the white sox...

bn- aaron hill....Hill has been handed the starting 2nd base job for 2007. He has little more than doubles-power, but his on-base skills could mean a promotion to the top of the order, when he'd see a spike in runs scored and, with the added protection, batting average. He's not someone you'll find terribly useful in mixed leagues, ...but he has good value none the less since he has eligibilty at multiple positions...decent player will give you 5/60.285 on the year in toronto

bn- Eric Byrnes......for byrnes his OBP is not good enough for that many SB. i'd go on the under for the probability he gets back into the 20/20 club, however, 18/18 is not a stretch.....he should provide you with 25/90/.290 and steal 20 on the year in arizona...

bn- Lyle Overbay is someone with great potential and sooner or later those doubles should turn into homers....Overbay enjoyed his first 20 HR season in 2006, and is a good bet to basically repeat his numbers in 2007. He'll neither win you your league, nor lose it for you, and is a nice, safe, middle-of-the-pack option at first base....good for 20/90/.300 on the year in toronto..he should have an increase in homers but you never know....

as for your pitchers

p- Felix "the king" Hernandez........He has Kevin Brown power stuff, but his mechanics make him an injury risk. This is a dangerous thing in keeper leagues, but in non-keeper situations, you should target him. He had a learning/setback year in '06, and he should come out fine. In other words, he could go off on the AL, and have one of the 10-best seasons by a starter in '07....he has tremendous stuff and lost 20 pounds during the offseason should give you good numbers...look for him to go 17-10 with an era around 3.45 and 190k...coudl quite possibly strike out over 200 if he can pitch to potential

p- Chris Young.....Young's fastball isn't incredible, but with his height and leverage, it looks like it's 100 mph. He changes the look and break on his off-speed stuff, and his command is solid. When he makes a mistake, it gets drilled, but his workload has been low, and he is smart. Expect him to improve....has great upside and potential....look for him to go 14-9 with 200k and an era around 3 and a half on the year out in san diego

p- Jered Weaver...... Weaver's an outstanding young pitcher with good stuff and impeccable control, but only the truly greedy (and blind) will expect a rerun of 2006 over 170 innings. Be smart, you know he is an injury risk now and watch out for that...but has tremendous upside look fro him to go 12-7 140k and ear around 3.80 on the yaer in los angeles....

p- Kelvim Escobar....... I know it was you, Kelvim. You broke my heart. Escobar has talent but is made of glass. He's only pitched 200+ IP once, and may never again. With strikeouts, decent starter in mixed leagues....had potential but never able to put it together....look for him to go 13-9 with era around 3.50 and 150k on the year whcih is pretty solid ...for a 3 pitcher

p- Joe Nathan...i say never pay for saves. But it's okay to pay for Nathan's Ks, ERA and a WHIP that rivals Bluto's GPA in Animal House. Nathan even wins more games than most closers....so he is a real gem in all categorys so he should post a 6-2 record and save about 40 games this year and post era around 2 with 100k as well!

p- Billy Wagner......Easily the top closer in the NL and worth the price. That said, there are lots of closers who will cost less and perform well. In addition, Wagner has never gone more than 3 seasons without missing time. He has been healthy for the last two straight. Just saying....so his numbers should look like: 4-2 with 38 saves era of 2 and strike out about 90 on the year ....

p- Scott Linebrink......Linebrink is a middle reliever worth drafting for his ratios, K, and vulture wins. If the stars align, he could even see a few vulture saves....that being said he should go 7-4 with about 7 saves and an era around 2 on the year...

p- Juan Rincon.....Rincon's serious drop in K's, paired with a 2005 suspension for steroids, suggest his days as an elite middle reliever are over. He's still worth a buck or two at the end of an AL-only draft, but he's no longer in line for saves if Nathan goes down......he should go about 3-2 on the year and have about 75 strike outs and era around 2 for the year.....

p- Takashi Saito......Saito L.A.'s ace reliever should continue to succeed. He has a solid fastball and a sharp slider that allowed him to perform like a healthy Eric Gagne. Expect his performance to dip a bit, but he'll still be an elite short man.....wont close against the nl west though due to them hitting off of him real well but other than that expect him to go 5-3 with 38 saves and an era around 2.70 for the year....

p- Rafael Betancourt.....If he could close, Keith Foulke wouldn't be in Cleveland. Tantalizing talent with superb ratios, but role limits fantasy upside....expect an era around 2 and a record of 4-4 on the year for him....

Overall i would say that your lineup is decent not too much of one thing ...you could quite possibly use more speed on your team because your only main threat is crisp and you dont have a hell of a lot of power as well, well you sort of do but its spread out throughout the entire lineup...if you are looking to make a couple of roster changes take a look at these sleepers that i have compiled and keep them in mind...

c- iannetta who could have breakout year

1b- adrian gonzalez who will hit around 30+homers

2b- ty wigginton who can hit the deep ball and is eligible at multiple positions

3b- iwamura who will hit for average

ss- troy tulowitzki will as well have a breakout year at ss in colorado

of- chris duncan will hit around 30 homers this year

of- jonny gomes will hit alot of hw as well if healthy

of- brad hawpe is good for around 20 homers in colorado

util- nick markakis is going to have a stellar year for baltimore this kid is here to stay

and as for your rotation i think it is pretty deep but you do have alot of releivers due to your hold category...every one of those pitchers has potential to k150+ and win atleast 14 games ...and your closers are solid atleast...2 of the best actually...if you are looking for a couple of starters that could be potential sleepers take a look at these guys when you are looking at the waiver wire....

sp- chuck james who has kept his era this spring around 1 in 5 starts will be stellar in atlanta this year

sp- clay hensley who has a good k rate should do fine in sd if healthy

rp- mike gonzalez will end up closer by yeras end over wickman

rp- valverde could shock alot of people has kept ball down this yera and could save around 30 games

p- wainwright who also has kept era around 1 this spring.......

p- jeremy sowers who proved he could pitch in cleveland last year shall repeat again thsiy ear

p- westbrook is consistent as they come

overall solid team...you could go deep into the playoffs

hope i helped

goodluck

and have fun!!!

Drop Aaron Hill for BJ Upton

Drop Eric Byrnes for Shane Victorino

Drop Juan Rincon for a starter (Ian Snell, Randy Wolf, Daniel Cabrera)

If you are carrying 3 closers, dont waste 3 more spots on middle relief. I typically keep 4 maybe 5 (2-3 closers, 1 middle relief, one set-up) (ie if Jonathon Broxton is available, he will give you holds now, but probably will be the closer by June if Saito isnt working out...judging by last night...he wont be.)

Also look for some OF help, maybe Reed Johnson

Decent all around. Try to get better OFs. I think I would start Eric Byrnes over Coco Crisp. You got great closers in Nathan and Wagner

Thats one of the worst offensive fantasy teams I've seen on yahoo answers,Altough your pitching is awesome.You have to make a ton of trades to improve your offense.Sorry but,Ramon Hernandez,Pujols & Bay aren't enough for offensive categories.Most of your hitters are solid contact hitters but aren't going to get much RBI,HR,R,BB,Only really good AVG.you might want to start another fantasy team.

To the dude before me keep the analysis short and simple.People get tired after the second paragraph

i just gave someone an essay of a response on a fantasy baseball question similar to this one. i would be more then happy to do it to you too, but i cant. this team is real good, you got potential. if everything goes right, a definant NINE. in a 12 man league, a nine will win it all. good luck!

your team is an 8 beacuse the pitching satff is great, but you can use major help from 2b to of. i would use pujols as bait to go out and bet better players in those positions.

I rate it a nine considering that you play in a 12 player league, and that you have the best player.

Pretty decent team and a league playoff contender.

looks like you have a contender there. you might just want to pick up a better outfielding hitter and a better guy off the bench.

I know this sound crazy but trade Albert Pujols !!!
