Rate this team?

Standard 5x5 roto league, just did it for fun tonight to pass some time, but ended up with what I feel like is a team worth paying attention to.

C: Victor Martinez
1B: Joey Votto
2B: Dan Uggla
SS: Starlin Castro
3B: Neil Walker
OF: Delmon Young
OF: Austin Jackson
OF: Luke Scott
Util: Prince Fielder
Util: Kendrys Morales
Bn: Freddie Freeman
Bn: David Freese

SP: Jered Weaver
SP: Matt Latos
RP: Koji Uehara
RP: Chris Sale
P: Dan Haren
P: Jonathan Sanchez
P: Tim Hudson
P: Brett Myers
Bn: Johan Santana
Bn: Johnny Cueto
Bn: Homer Bailey

No real closers, but I could trade SP depth for that. No great speed threats, but who cares that team should dominate everywhere else

Re: Rate this team?

I can't help seeing your lack of power in the outfield and 3B.
Those 4 players will probably give you combined line of:
270AVG, 66 HR, 295 RBI.
Also your ST pitching depth is more of waiver wire potential.
Bailey, Santana and Uehara should have already been on the waiver wire now and pitchers like Myers, Tim Hudson are fringe.

I'm sorry man, but I see your team being no better than 8th best in a 12 team league.

Re: Rate this team?

i disagree. Freese will hit 20HR's this year. I'd lose Morales and Santana though. Neither will be a factor this year. some sucker will bite on both, especially Morales who may only miss a month, but I doubt his numbers end up impacting in any real way.

In 304 ML AB Freese has only hit 5 HRs. That's 1HR per 60AB.
I could be wrong I just don't see 20 HR's this year. Next year..maybe.
