Rate My Fantasy Baseball Team 1-100 (100=Best)?

This would be a top six team, (Maybe 70) but changes are needed to be better than that. First you have too many bench players and not enough pitchers. Drop Hudson and probably Overbay, for closers if any are available. You have Roberts at second so you'll seldom use Hudson. As for Overbay, other 1B will be available as Free agents including Garko, Thorman and Conner Jackson if sons low BA kills you too much. Closers who might be Free Agents include Saloman Torres of pittsburgh, Taylor Tankersley of the Marlins, Octavio Dotel Of Kansas City and Joel Pineiro of Boston. None are secure as closer but have the job for now. If all are gone look at a quality setup guy like Broxton of the Dodgers. He'll help in K's Era & Whip and has a decent shot of winning the closer job before the end of the season. Your SP isn't bad, but I'd like to add one more guy there. FA possibilities include Ian Snell, Daniel Cabrera (a major risk who could really pay off) or Doug Davis. Also look to trade Randy Johnson & Bronson Arroyo. Johnson should have a better year than last, but his name value may bring a quality pitcher like Harang if you're lucky. I'd be surprised if Arroyo comes close to last years success. You should be able to get a much better pitcher like Scott Olsen or David Bush in return. You may also be able to move Schmidt for a better younger pitcher again look at someone like Harang or John Lackey. You should also look to trade either Dave Roberts or Willy Tavares for either a pitcher or a bat with more power. They're both essentially one category players. If trade efforts with these two don't work out, wait through the first 3-4 weeks of the season and drop the least productive one. Dye might also be a trade candidate. He's a good player but won't be likely to equal last year's numbers. If you're lucky you might get Matt Holliday or Jason Bay for him, if not someone like Vernon Wells is a good choice.
