I will start off the season with a breakdown of my fantasy baseball team in the HP Fantasy Baseball league. I will follow with the 11 other teams in the following teams.
(Lineups updated as of April 1st)
Catcher: J.R. Towles
First Basemen: Ryan Howard, Carlos Pena, James Loney
Second Basemen: Ian Kinsler, Placido Polanco
Shortstop: Jimmy Rollins
Third Basemen: Hank Blalock
Outfield: Bobby Abreu, Adam Dunn, Brad Hawpe, J.D. Drew, Justin Upton, Nate McLouth
Starting Pitching: Jered Weaver, Jon Garland, Joe Blanton, Zach Greinke, Gil Meche
Relivers: Joe Nathan, Jonathan Papelbon, Bobby Jenks, Joakim Soria, Brandon Lyon, George Sherrill
Strengths: This lineup will post tremendous homerun potential as this group of hitters combined to hit 289 dingers last year, with potential to hit well over 300 this year. Along with the homeruns, this club will drive in and score many runs too, combining to score 1082 runs and driving in 1027 runs last year. This lineup also has speed as they stole 139 bases last year too. The team batting average is a solid .286. This pitching staff is all about winning the SV, ERA, ER, WHIP, L, and BB categories. There is no way to lose SVs with 6 closers. They all are elite options that have great ratios and will not let up many if any runs.
Weaknesses: This team has a ton of people who strike out a lot (i.e. Howard, Dunn, Hawpe, Pena) They combined to strike out a grand total of 1257 times. This team will not win W's and K's as there are no top of the line starters in this team.
