I'd rate your team a B-/B, but I'm assuming you have a lot of teams in your league. I've only played in 8 team leagues, and most of the teams have at least 2 great SP, one great closer, and 2-3 great hitters. Your lineup looks scattered as far as star talent is concerend, that's why I'm assuming there's a lot of teams that swiped up all the star players quick.

 

You have a nice pitching staff with Carpenter, Papelbon, Nathan. And a decent offense that has a few sure things (Manny, Dunn, Youkalis), but it's going ot rely heavily on the hope that the youth movement picks up and doesn't decline.

 

As far as I can tell anyways. Nice team!

You're SmallBall Smorgasbord, right?

 

According to PECOTA's projections (adjusted for projected playing time), and looking at whole teams instead of just starters, your team is probably in the top 3 or 4 in the league.

I'm actually in a 14 team league so the talent is thinned out some, but it also adds some fun into it. There are some mistakes I made like with the OF. I thought Willingham was still eligible at C too, but he's not so that was a bit of a wasted pick. I'm overall more confident about my offense than I am about my pitching. Millwood, Garland, Igawa, and Jones could all turn out to be great or they could kill me.

 

And cheapseats, yes that'd be me.

Not a bad team. I'm kinda weak in the OF, but overall I think I'm ok. I've got some good pitching sleepers.
