What does everyone think of my 1st ever fantasy team? What can I do to improve it? How good is it?
I like your offense. No real big holes.





You have only three starting pitchers. That basically means you're punting Wins and K's.





If that is your strategy, trade Wang NOW. He is good only for wins, his peripherals are below average. You will be losing wins anyhow, so don't let him drag down your ERA + WHIP.





Your only "sure thing" closer is Jenks. The other ones are hit or miss.





In other words, solid offense, really weak SP, okay relievers, though likely at least two of them will implode.
Reply:Not a bad Lineup...you have good speed with Ichiro, Rios, Furcal, and abreu...you have decent pop with Ramirez and Pujols. Look for Hermida to break out. If Carmol ends up closing for Chicago you have good relievers when Lidge gets back...but it looks like Wood is going to be the closer opening day. Your pitching could use help but you got a great start there...look for a couple pitchers to step up off waivers throughout the year
Reply:Your bench is loaded with average OF with the exception of maybe Cuddyer. Furcal at SS won't do a lot for you. With Cano and Polanco, you don't need Orlando Hudson. Pitching is okay.
