I feel my weakness is 2 spots. Catcher - who I think has great potential to be a top 5 catcher this year, so i picked him up last in the draft. My other weakness is pitching - I don't have a that one TRUE ACE on my squad. I'm very confident in Oswalt, Smoltz, Young and Maine however to give me a great chances. I also know the RP is weak but I basically punted that category. I got the 2 I have very cheap and may not even use one.

    This is a great team and I'd give it an 8.5/10.

    C - Soto is a sleeper who may have a breakout season.

    1B - Morneau is consistently great.

    2B - Kinsler is a 25/25 threat at a weak position.

    SS - Guillen is a good hitter all-around.

    3B - Wright is a 30/30 threat who contributes in all categories.

    OF - Vlad is consistently great and Soriano is a 35/35 threat. Young is a 20/20 sleeper.

    Util - Hafner should bounce back. I would expect a 35 homerun season.

    SP - Oswalt and Smoltz are consistently good. Young can be dominant and helps with WHIP. Maine is great for K's. Liriano has tons of potential and may return to his dominant form. Billingsley is a sleeper.

    RP - Lidge is out 3-6 weeks, and Hoffman is good but aging.

    Bench - Furcal is good for SB's and runs, and Hermida is a sleeper as well. Gallardo is out for a while, and Lester has potential. Cain is great in all categories except wins.

    If I were you, I would trade Furcal and a SP away for a closer. Closers will help with saves, ERA, and WHIP.

    Hope I helped!

    I think you have a solid team but remember it is only a 10 man league so pretty much everyone will look good on paper now. You have a great OF and I think Delmon Young will do well in Min. Soto seems to be the most sought after catcher this year right behind V-mart, Russell and McCann but like you said, he's been available late in drafts. I think your pitching is good and I would consider Oswalt and Smoltz can be considered "aces" and Liriano too if he can remain healthy the entire year. If he starts out strong, I would consider trading him because usually players coming off Tommy John dont last the entire season following surgery. Your relievers are "ok" but it seems every year, there are a couple surprises at that position than can be picked up on the free agent market. Good luck!

    THis is a pretty strong tea, but i think you should get Wang Cheing Ming as one of your pitchers

    2B - Ian Kinsler

    3B - David Wright

    SS - Carlos Guillen

    OF - Vlad Guerrero

    OF - Alfonso Soriano,

    Your pitching isn't bad. You could upgrade your RP's. I don't like your bench of Furcal and Hermida though.

    I saw Furcal playing in the Dominican winter league and he really looked awful, his fielding was terrible. You would think playing for the pride of your home team and country, you would be in shape. He still has speed, but that's it. Not sure if Hermida will be consistent.

    I give your team a 7 out of 10. Not a great team, but can likely win most weeks in fantasy.
