I'm the new guy in a 13-team league, and this is the result of my first ever baseball draft:

 

C Kenji Johjima

1B Justin Morneau

2B Chase Utley

SS Michael Young

3B Scott Rolen

OF Ichiro

OF Jim Edmonds

OF Aubrey Huff

 

SP Carlos Zambrano

SP King Felix

SP Danny Haren

 

RP Eric Gagne

 

Bench:

 

C Josh Willingham

1B Mike Jacobs

2B Ryan Freel

SS Dustin Pedroia

3B Pedro Feliz

OF Luis Gonzalez (ARI)

OF Curtis Granderson

OF Corey Patterson

 

SP Zach Duke

SP Greg Maddux

SP Noah Lowry

SP Anthony Reyes

 

RP Tom Gordon

 

I realize it's a who's-who of recent Baseball America standouts and while that could be a good thing, I'm wondering if I went too young. Duke, Felix and Lowry seem to be ready for 200 IP but Reyes and Pedroia seem to be headed to the minors indefinitely. It's a keeper league so I should definitely have some nice options later on. Any thoughts?

Interesting squad. Its probably a bit too young for my tastes.

 

With the assumption its a standard 5 x 5 roto, I think you'll compete offensively. Given the size of your bench, I assume its a pretty deep league.

 

Pitching wise - you're probably a tad too young. No doubt Felix, Duke, and Reyes have talent, but its difficult to gauge how many innings and wins these young guys will log.

 

The best part of your team is that you're in a keeper league. If you're in the hunt to win it by the trading deadline, i'm sure one of the bottom teams in the league will love you as a trading partner.

It's a who's who of "who?"

 

I meant that as top prospects. I do realize that doesn't really mean anything in fantasy baseball, so it was tongue in cheek.
