Overall you're solid and should contend. You have great SP's, and respectable RP's. The holes I see on offense would be 3B and OF. Chipper Jones is awesome when he's healthy....but that's the problem....he's on the DL more than he's in a lineup. Jason Bay is a top-tier OF, but Ordonez and Anderson are aging vets whose stats will start to drop in a hurry before too much longer.



I'd look to unload one of your SP's for some help at 3B or OF. Maybe work a package deal with a SP and Jones, Ordonez, or Anderson, and see if you can get yourself a top-tier 3B or OF.

Let's start with each player on your batters side:



C-Paul Lo Duca is getting weaker as getting older and is not going to be able to deliver as much this year and in the coming years. He is not even close to the top of the "Catchers" list, but really all catchers do suck, so you don't have much to worry about at all.



1B- Albert Pujols as you may or may not know is the #1 player in the MLB. He is going to give 50+ home runs and 120+ RBI's. This guy is a heck of a power hitter for that sake and does clutch at times.



2B- Chone Figgins like you said is on the DL so you have Placido Polanco. Well keep checking until you can put Chone Figgins back in because I don't favor Placido Polanco. He is never safe to go with as a primary 2B.



SS- You're probably thinking "what a bummer!" right when you heard Rafael Furcal was on the DL? He produces good numbers and speed so that's a bad thing he is on the DL. But I think that David Eckstein will do just fine until his replacement.



3B- Chipper Jones is a great average player. He hits an average number of homers, an average number of RBI's, has an average Batting average and steals an average number of bases every year. This player is a great player at every average stat.



OF- Jason Bay is one of the best OF out there and that is great that you have him. He is going to deliever lots of power homers this year and he is just going to be an excellent and amazing player. I have hope that this guy will excel this year.



OF- Magglio Ordonez is not close to being a top outfielder. In my opinion, he'd serve as a back-up maybe 4th or 5th outfielder, but certainly not a primary.



OF- Good pick in Garrett Anderson. He's an all-around well player who is going to do just average this year. (read what I wrote for Chipper Jones; the same applies)



UTIL- Jason Giambi is a strong utility man because he can hit lots of homers and RBI's and is a great power hitter who delivers. This is a great pick and a wonderful spot for him.



BN- I have no comment on Dave Roberts.





So your batting side looks great and I'd rate it a 7/10. You've got speed, power, good average, RBI's, home runs, and OBP.



Now your pitching side is the weaker side. But don't worry about that. Since you have an amazing offense, that will cover you and carry you when your pitching is maybe declining.



SP- Roy Oswalt is one of my favorite pitchers and he is one of the best pitchers in the game. He'll get you wins, ERA, and K's, but the only problem is he might suck this year because Houston lost all of its good offense and without great offense, a pitcher can't win a game by himself.



SP- Jason Schmidt is an above average player who will get you a good number of K's and will put up an okay ERA. (a little shaky and risky though)



SP- No comment on Tim Hudson and Scott Olsen



SP- John Maine is going to be a great pitcher this year. He is going to excel and I can see that. I have hope that this guy is going to be a great pitcher this year putting up amazing numbers.



SP- No comment on AJ Burnett



RP- Nice pick in Trevor Hoffman. This guy is a future Hall of Famer and he is one of my favorite relievers. This guy can get you a good ERA and tons and tons of saves so great pick in him.



RP- Little shaky and risky on Takahi Saito, but I hope it works out for you.



RP- Jose Valverde is off to a great start. He is going to give you a lot of saves, a good ERA, and a couple of wins too, unlike some relievers. Nice pick.





The pitching side I would rate a 6. But like I said don't worry your offense takes care of that.



Plus, this is pretty much a great well-rounded up team so I think you have a chance at your league's winner title. Thank you for taking the time and consideration to listen to what I had to say and I rate this team a 6.5 overall. Good luck!!!

You have a pretty good team.

Lo Duca is solid for average and rbis, especially batting behind Reyes.

Pujols is Pujols. 40 Homers, 130 rbis, 100 runs.

Figgins is great for speed and Polanco is solid for average.

Furcal is also good for speed.

Chipper has declined a bit through the years, but is still good for 25 homers and 90 rbis.

Bay is solid for homers and rbis.

Anderson and Mag are old and declining, but still good players.

Giambi is good for 35 homers and 100+ rbis.

Roberts is also good for speed and should score many runs like your other speed options.



Great speed, Great Power.

9/10 for batting



Oswalt is a top 5 pitcher.

Schmidt is overlooked this season. Great pitcher.

Hudson is good if he's healthy.

Olsen is an interesting pitcher this season. Should be good.

Maine should get good wins with the Mets. *( Go Mets !! :) )*

Burnett has always had great stuff and should get good wins with the Blue Jays.

Hoffman will get you 40+ saves.

Saito should get you good saves.

Valverde is a risky option for savesm but you have Hoffman and Saito.



8/10 for pitching.

You have good ks and wins in Oswalt and Schmidt.

The rest of your starting pitchers are pretty risky though.

You have plenty of saves.



Overall

8.5/10

You have a good team.

You should be in the top 3.

Your offense replaced into picked based off superstardom and not what you want. you have a severe loss of speed of any type and you will strike out a straightforward volume, so which you have given up 2 categories via not drafting properly. you will in all probability win RBI's maximum weeks and HR's. the different 2 categories are a toss up. i might provide your offense a 6. Your pitching suffered on account which you overdrafted the offense. you have a #a million, 2 #2's, #3, 3 #4's in the rotation. Webb is a sturdy guy for complete video games, yet you have not have been given a guy in there who's an innings eater like he's. Webb, cube-ok, with skill from Felix and Jered Weaver gets you wins. Your closers are ok yet may well be slightly extra efficient. Todd Jones gets you saves yet there are too many Tigers nipping at his heels for whilst his era is going up above 5 returned. Rivera is physically powerful. Borowski could be performed over Jones. Pena and Okajima are reliable carry adult males. All in all, the pitching gets a 6 as nicely because of the fact the bullpen is fairly reliable. Your group might get a 6 from me. If that's a rotisserie league, you will not win it. you have too lots luggage on the offense and not adequate commencing pitching. Sheets is a strolling piece of glass so be weary of him. commerce one in all your offensive adult males for a speedster and a commencing pitcher who is going to log high quality innings and complete video games. all and sundry to bypass alongside with Brandon Webb will help you vastly.

8, weak on SBs without Figgy, Hudson is the slow part of your pitching and I didn't like Olsens start today even though he got the win - but I'm sure Oswalt is not a Cardinal fan either so every pitcher has a rough one every now and then.

Check avail of DeRosa or Chris Burke at 2B and Maicer Izturis or Khalil Greene for SS.

Burke and Izturis can contribute to SB's while Figgins is out.

DeRosa and Greene are both streaky power hitters who catch fire and hit HR's for multiple games and both are on that streak right now - but they can go cold just as fast.

It looks like a pretty good team if Pujols can get it together. Figgins should get you some good numbers when he comes back, and your pitching may or may not be good this year. I think they will do well so you should have a good team. I'd say 8/10
