SP: John Patterson
RP: Keith Foulke
RP: Mike Williams
RP: Jorge Julio
RP: Alan Embree
P: Brandon Duckworth
P: Adam Eaton
P: Arthur Rhodes

Think my offense can hang with most. Hoping Schilling and Schmidt can carry my pitching. Foulke, Williams, Julio, and Embree should keep me in the hunt for saves. Lackey, Eaton and Patterson need to be strong and Duckworth needs to improve. 10 wins out of Rhodes this season would be nice but not banking on it. He's there to offset Duckworth's ERA and WHiP.

So far, I've traded Adrian Beltre, Rich Aurillia, and Kevin Millar to MWM Domination for Aramis Ramirez, Jimmy Rollins, and Robert Fick.

I then turned around and traded Fick to mexico city mudrats for Danny Bautista.

I think I have okay hitting, but my pitching is going to have trouble standing up. No front line starters, lots of guys that had good years last year, but you know some of them will be one year wonders.

Moves I've made so far:

Picked up Frank Catalanatto off of waivers to play second

Traded Rafael Palmeiro for Robb Nen

And Larkin Fan I have a glut of first baseman even after dealing Rafael Palmeiro, feel free to send me a deal.

Larkin Fan · 03-05-2003, 07:18 PM

Redsfaithful, who do you have available? Let me know and I'll put together some kind of offer.

Forgive me. I'm too stupid to look above at your roster. LOL

I need to get rid of two position players and replace them with 1 SP and 1 RP. I just haven't decided who to get rid of.

Redsfaithful · 03-05-2003, 08:28 PM

I'd be interested in Jeremy Giambi Team Boone, see if you see anything on my team that interests you.

Sabo Fan · 03-05-2003, 08:53 PM

C Marrero, Eli
1B Helton, Todd
2B Hudson, Orlando
3B Nevin, Phil
SS Cabrera, Orlando
LF Burrell, Pat
CF Payton, Jay
RF Salmon, Tim
OF Jordan, Brian
OF Jenkins, Geoff
IF Konerko, Paul
Util Phelps, Josh
Util Huff, Aubrey
Util Tatis, Fernando

SP Hudson, Tim
SP Lowe, Derek
SP Perez, Odalis
SP Washburn, Jarrod
RP Santana, Johan
RP Fossum, Casey
RP Lilly, Ted
RP Pavano, Carl
P Beckett, Josh
P Padilla, Vicente
P Perez, Oliver

I like my team overall. Undoubtedly, my biggesst weakness is the outfield. Burrell is a 40+ homer guy, but the rest of them have questions. I think Payton can put up numbers similar to what Jeffery Hammonds did when he was in Coors. Salmon and Jordan are pretty solid, and Jordan showed up to Dodgers camp in good shape and sounded like he was ready to play. Like I said when I drafted him, Jenkins is my pick for NL Comeback Player of the Year. I really like Phelps, and if you project his numbers from his 265 at-bats with the Jays last year, he's a 30+ homer, 120 RBI guy. My pitching is this team's biggest strength. I like that because you can never have enough pitching. Plus I have some depth that I can use to make some deals to improve my offense. All around I think this is a very good team.

TeamBoone · 03-05-2003, 09:10 PM

Redsfaithful, I think I'm going to stand pat through the first month of the season to see how these guys shake out. Then, if necessary, I'll see what kinds of deals I can work out.

For the most part, I'm satisfied with my team. Though I'm sure some tweaking is going to be required.

Redsfaithful · 03-06-2003, 12:33 AM

No problem TB.

Red Leader · 03-06-2003, 10:46 AM

Hey, LF. Unfortunately, I only have 1 1B that qualified for the position last year. After 20 games Hafner will qualify, and Thomas should also qualify when he gets 20 (he's supposed to play more 1B this year). Even Jeff Kent might qualify if something happens to Bagwell. When those guys do qualify, I will be looking to upgrade my SP's and I see that you have some good depth there....Buehrle, Miller, Clement. I like Miller the most, and then Clement. Let me know if you'd be interested in something down the line....
