I think I'm pretty solid top to bottom. Power from braun, gonzo, utley, speed from upton, ellsbury, kemp, hairston, and pitching is relatively solid. I should win sv, sb's, and at least be in the top 3 in power.

Answer 1

I like this team.  You're right; it's solid from top to bottom.  Gonzo, Utley, and Braun are great power sources, with Gonzo getting you all sorts of RBIs, and Youkilis, Hairston and Ellsbury should hit for high averages all season.

The pitching is what really sells this team, with Papelbon, Nathan, Harden, Shields, and Kazmir.  You could afford to give up one of these pitchers for a power bat, though what you have should carry you.  Keep your eye on Max Scherzer;  he's proven he can pitch at this level, and he could be the closer of the future there.

Answer 2

thats a pretty nice team you got there. you could use a tad more power though
