Answer 1

Stud-filled lineup.  Enough mult-position players; speed mixed w/ power.  Not the best pitching staff but enough to stay competitive.  Would be nice if Fielder can turn it up in the 2nd half.  What is this, and 8 team league?

Answer 2

i think you have a decent team together, but i'm a little concerned about your lack of solid, top-notch closers. i would see if i couldn't trade ankiel or ibanez for a top closer, and/or maybe even another solid starter. good luck

Answer 3

Infield is solid except at SS. You need more pop in your OF or players with better track record. I don't think Mclouth and Quentin can continue their pace....sell very high. You have one closer. That's questionable. B+

Answer 4

Mid season you could definitly say that this is a good team! Funny if you would have posted this team at the beginning of the season. HAHA Many people saying how horrible it is. I would have to say that I would try and trade Atkins for a closer between top tier and middle tier. Someone like Rivera or Wagner would work because Youkilis is doing pretty well right now and losing Atkins wouldn't hurt you at all. I would definitly also try to trade players like Crosby, Ankiel, Ibanez, and Izturis for either a SP who gets u a little more K's or someone of position such as a SS so you who is playing poorly now but will more than likely do pretty good later. You could also pick up Wellemeyer and drop Izturis if he is still available. And watch out for Francisco Liriano and Rich Hill if they are still available. Although they are in the minors still they have looked very good and could be back to top form now.

Rank from 1-10 I give a 8.5. Make those changes and I give a 9.9
