    You have 3 Indians. Homer.

    Seriously though, it's not bad. I like the closers, the starters are good, and the only things that really need improvement on your offense are 3B and bench.

    Mussina and Towers belong on the bench while Mulder and Lackey in the lineup (not a big deal as it'll change based on who is pitching, but Mussina is not a solid pick)...

    You probably should have picked a SP instead of Sexson since he is on your bench and not likely to get much playing time with Pujols and Hafner unless one gets injured...I would try to trade Sexson to a team who needs a 1B and some pop for a good SP...but that's just me I guess.

    Mussina might be a solid pick if Mulder's walks keep driving upward.

    dude, Mussina is borderline garbage at this point in his career...fantasy-wise or otherwise

    Stranger things have happened.
    Not saying Mussina is going to take the league by storm, Mulder should be better, but there's something about him that's not comforting.

    Jeez looks like you were drafting with idiots. Pujols, Beltran, VMart, Hafner, and 2 of the best closers? You need a little SP depth, all your guys are risky.

    How many owners are in this league, what kind of format is it, and what stats do you use?

    It's on Yahoo and it's only a 6-team league because so many of my friends joined leagues and couldn't join this one.So next year I am hoping to have more people in the league.

    I am going to rotate my starters.If a guy is off,then I am replacing him with someone else that day.

    And I didn't have Mussina on my draft board,it was an autopick draft and he fell to me late.I also had Bonds (dropped him,don't think he'll be as good and I doubt he'll stay healthy);and I also had Clemens,who would be a starter if he was on a damn team.

    Solid offense... Need a bit more in the SP department.
    "They asked me if I wanted the ball in Game 6, and I said yes. I'll always say yes. That's what I did with Jack McKeon. I told him, 'Let me see how I feel tomorrow.' I went out, did a long toss, came in and said, 'I'll pitch, I want it, I want to do it.' And it ended up working out." -Josh Beckett

    6-team league, hah. What's the point of playing in this small of a league? You're guaranteed to make the playoffs.
