Your pitching rotation is stacked.

Relief pitchers, you maybe should have drafted a third. Balfour is still a question mark in the closer role.

Your lack of speed is going to hurt you. If you've got expanded stats like OBP and 2B, you look pretty good there. Power and average, I'll give you did a real good job.

I'll admit I voted so-so, but with those pitchers there's no way that's a terrible draft.

I let a mock draft auto-pick me a team, and for a pitching staff my mock team ended up with:

Rich Harden
Matt Cain
Aaron Harang
John Danks
Trevor Hoffman
Brad Ziegler
Troy Percival
Fernando Rodney
Jon Rauch

Now THAT would have been horrible...

Yeah that just means one of two things....the people who voted terrible know nothing about baseball, or they are just being douchbags...

Your rotation may be "stacked", but you have no depth.

I would drop your "boys" Coco and Giambi/LaPorta and pick up another starter and a reliever who gets TON of innings, some vulture saves and a ton of k's with good ratios.

It will help with the weeks when your guys only give you a few starts.

Other than that, no too shabby.

Plus, I never take where your first pick is into consideration of how well a draft you can have.

Just because you may get a 1-3 pick means you have to wait for a 20 pick swing before you draft again.

It's not won in the first few rounds....though it can be lost.

So, just get a little pitching depth and upgrade either one OF spot or the 3B spot, and you will be seeing the top of the standings for a LONG time.

I put bad - for a 12 team league your lineup is really weak and you have only three elite starting pitchers to make up for it. Balfour is not worthy of being on a team in a 12 team mixed league.
