My currently 1st place fantasy baseball team...here to stay?

Question

I'm in 1st place in a 10-team league, h2h league w/ 5x5 standard stats. Do you guys think I'm pretty much set for 1st place or at least a really high finish or is there a "blinking bulb" on my team?

Here it is:

C: Soto

1B: Ryan Howard

2B: Kinsler

3B: Miggy Cabrera

SS: Yunel Escobar (Furcal's on DL)

OF: Beltran, Crawford, Granderson

Utility: Texeira, Morneau

Bench: Bourn, Furcal

SP: Kazmir, Harang, Harden, Joba, Kershaw, Ervin Santana

RP: Torres, Nathan, Rauch, Brandon Morrow

This is a REAL team, so are you guys buying or selling on my 1st place so far...I've only lost 1 individual week so far

Answer 1

Buying Kazmir, Harden, Joba, Santana, Torres, Nathan

Texeira (start him) Kinsler, Crawford, Granderson, Howard, Escobar.

Selling everyone else lol...Beltran might pick it up in the 2nd half he might not, and Miggy needs to step it up too. I would move Furcal asap...maybe package him with Santana or Morneau for Josh Hamilton, David Wright, or Beckett.

Yo...Kev B...enough with the spam, I can only report you so many times in a day before i lose interest

Answer 2

its a good team.  I'd stick with Escobar over Furcal as the Braves are a post all-star break team and he's got chipper, Texieira and others to drive him home.

Answer 3

Hey Dodgester,

I think you have an excellent team and have a good chance to stay in the lead!

I think everyone is doing great but the only problem I see is you have 2 EXCELLENT First Baseman on the bench!

I would suggest trading one of your First Baseman for a

BIG NAME Shortstop because Yunel is not always going to get the job done.

Your pitching is pretty average... Kazmir, Ervin Santana, and Joba are having great years.  The rest are decent.

Your relief pitching is pretty dominating!  Nathen will get you 35-45 saves this year (If he doesn't get hurt).  Torres is a Big Sleeper who stats are excellent and Rauch and Morrow are both Great too!

Overall 9.5 out of 10!  I think you can win it all!

Just try to get a better shortstop!

Good Luck!

EDIT:  Sorry... I forgot! lol

That's good that you have strong guys at Utility but those guys are meant to be at 1st base.

I personally would TRADE ONE of your 2 awesome utility guys (Morneau, Teixeira) for a BIG NAME shortstop.

Sorry for my Mistake!
