Due to length I will ask about the other league in another question. Any changes to watch for on the waiver wire would be appreciated.
Answers:
Which team was better - 1986 Mets or 1996 Yankees?
I think your team looks pretty solid. You might have problems in terms of HR's on offense...but that's usually tougher to find on the waiver wire. Jack Cust and Chris B Young are possible adds to get you a little more power(although I doubt Cust will keep up his insane pace). Another thing you might be hurting for is saves. Dempster might soon be out as the Cubs closer, and Gagne is an injury waiting to happen. I'd try to trade Carmona or Escobar while their value is high for a closer. You've got Beckett and Clemens waiting in the wings to add to your rotation, so it's an area you can use as a bargaining chipOMG, Blue Jays WON!! 6-1 vs. Rangers!?
it looks really good to meMore Questions & Answers...
