# of teams and league type? pitching looks weak imo.

12 team standard public league. H2H.

Putz will do you good things.

 

I really like McCann, and I think that picking up Lilly in later rounds might be productive, what with the switch from the AL East to the NL Central.

Yeah, McCann was my number 2 choice for a catcher behind Mauer. I like my pitching staff, there isn't anyone who is really a bonafide ace, but I think all of them will get around 15 wins and post a respectable ERA.

I think you're setting some awfully lofty goals for that pitching staff. Harang, Snell and Bedard all pitch for teams that will be bottom feeder teams, so the wins won't be there. I'm not so sure the ERA will be there for them either, but that's just my opinion. Glavine isn't getting any younger. Mussina, Verlander and Santana are good picks, but I have some reservations about Lilly's fly ball tendencies as well.

 

Offensively, you're strong everywhere except in the outfield.

Pretty solid team. Lineup is good. You should trade some of your gitting for a closer. You will need more saves and more wins from your pitching staff.

Looks like a good overall team but the pitching looks a little thin. The offense should be solid though.

You're screwed at 1B.
