    I Wins is my weaakest point in pitching but I still have 2 open roster spots to make up some of that. ANd while my offense doesn't have a lot of studs...any fantasy offense with 5 30HR 100 RBI guys will hold upp over the season. But you are right in that my pitching has to carry this teams and Ws & Ks are the areas I need to build.

      miggy is good, but soriano, laroche, willingham, and trumbo are generally good enough to be util players not the key components to your offense. i would be surprised if 2 out of those 4 guys actually got 30 homers and 100 rbis

        Are you serious? Trumbo is a lock to hit 30 and 90+ RBI. Willingham hit 35 HR last year, 29 the year before. Soriano is back hitting cleanup he hit 32 last year, 26 the year before. Laroche hit 35 last year was hurt year before, but previous to that he hit 25. If I had to bet I would lay odds that Trumbo goes 30 and so will Soriano now that he's back at cleanup. Plus Miggy is good for 40. Willingham and Laroche need to come thru again and Starlin Castro needs to improve as well.

        I agree. I think it's expecting way too much for all five of those guys to hit 30 bombs this year.

      With starting Alphonso,Alexi,Eaton,and Rutledge you need Castro to more then step up big,you need him to have a Babe Ruth & Rickey Henderson rolled into one type season!

        You can count on Soriano hittin 30 HR & 100 RBI this year. He's back hitting cleanup, the previous stupid CUBS manager had him hitting leadoff...and Soriano strikes out more than anybody - should never have been at leadoff. But at cleanup he going to be just as good as he was last year - 32 HR. Eaton & Rutledge are definitely weak links but both are projected for break out years. If they don't I'm probably going to try an trade Miguel Cabrera in a 3 for 1 deal and drop them.
