I think you autodrafted very well, and I wouldn\'t be suprsied to see you win it all.
How many managers in your league? It must be under 10 I would think?

It seems as though I have a decent team by yahoo\'s rankings, would like some opinions on my team from others. Who are my solid keepers, who are expandable. Appreciate any help you can send my way. Thanks in advance

Very solid team you\'ve got there.
Sizemore, Beltran, and Gallardo are definite keeprs. Probably Cabrera too, dependig on how he does this year.
Thanks to all who replied. I t is an 8 manager league.
you have too many bench sticks for H2H, i don\'t think you\'ll use Loney or Young much at all since guys will pretty much play everyday and you\'ve backed up your positions otherwise. i\'d trade for more SP who\'ll get you K\'s or find it on the wire if there\'s any available. in H2H i like to run as much pitching out there as i can since my hitters on my bench won\'t be able to play more than a couple days a wk anyway (depending on your settings)
I agree with shallowfrozenwater...
What are you gonna do with a .260 hitter thats sitting on your bench? He could be a valuable asset to another manager or even if he is not you could sweeten a deal by adding either Young or Loney in it. Also, if your friends are like mine sometimes they fall for the love of the name so Tejada could be marketable.
