Team Riz


Tough to evaluate your own team but I will give it a shot...

Catcher: I like Sandoval, Sully claims he is 5'2 130lbs but I think he will be a above average catcher with some pop


First Base: Votto. I like Votto a lot, at 26 he can only build on his 25HR's and .370 OBP. if he can get up to 10-15 SB's he will be a huge contributer. That lineup kills him so we shall see


Second Base: Chase Utley, the draft in 2006 I debated between Hafner and Utley, I finally hit a 50/50 bet. Utley will be healthy and a stud. Similar to Crowley


Third Base: If the Huff that was a top 20 fantasy player shows up I am looking good (I normally look decent anyways) If not, the old Huff is ok, not great. I am hoping somewhere in the middle as he has a better O's lineup


Short: J-Roll, traded for Lincecum, good numbers all over the board in a great lineup. HR numbers have to bounce back. If not Bags pulled the wool over my eyes.


Outfield: All great TB players, Braun being projected as the most TB's this year by Roto. I love Ethier hitting 25 HR's and slapping doubles all over. Hawpe is solid, 100/30/100 a possibility. I feel like these 3 will play here all year.


UTIL: I need Gordon, Lowell, or Helton to have a year. Gordon and Helton hit the ball well in the spring and if Lowell is even 80% there is 25/100.


Starters: Haren a total stud, my pick for NL Cy Young, 28 and at his prime, 200K 3.20 1.15. Billingsley 25 and already a stud, another 200K guy, needs to get his WHIP down a bit. Cliff Lee fell in the draft, probably his 12 ERA in the spring. But he is the CY Young winner last year and his skill set shows he can pitch like that, his blemish being his injury year. We shall see, def not sold on him. J Johnson and Meche, I need one to pitch well and my staff should be solid.


Relief: Soria and Wilson, should get 75-80 saves and solid production.


Top 5 team, a few holes but nothing major
