Fantasy Baseball

Not only has the Major League Baseball season start but also Fantasy Baseball leagues.

Many people join fantasy teams all the time. This year I am part of a Fantasy Baseball league on Yahoo. This league also includes two classmates, Frank and Adam; Frank is the "commissioner" of the league. I will describe my team below:
Can't STOP Us
Catcher: Kenji Johjima- one of the top catchers in the league
1st Base: Derek Lee- great power hitter, capable of 30 HRs, 110 RBIs
2nd Base: Chase Utley- top 2nd basemen; 176 hits, 22 HRs, 103 RBIs
Shortstop: Yunel Escobar- exceptional hitter with an AVG. above .300
3rd Base: Ryan Braun- able to hit 30 HRs with a .300 AVG.
Outfield: Magglio Ordonez- had a great season in 2007, had the top AVG. in league (.363)
Hunter Pence- will help the team with his .317 AVG.
Bill Hall- can have a break out season at any time
Utility: Jeff Kent- age can be a concern but still able to get 20 HRs with a good AVG.
Mark Reynolds- good amount of triples last season (4)
Carlos Gomez- should come up with a good season after a disappointing one
Bench: Juston Upton- also had a disappointing '07 season but predictions show a good '08 year.
Matt Kemp- one of the top AVG.'s in the league
Starting Pitchers: Erik Bedard- 13 WINS and 221 K's in '07
Felix Hernandez- 15 WINS with a 3.00 ERA prediction
Chien-Ming Wang- should get at least 18 WINS with the Yanks
Bronzon Arroyo- capable of a good amount of K's
Clay Buchholz- able to keep his ERA low
Francisco Liriano- rookie and shows high hopes
Relief Pitchers: Joe Nathan- about 40 saves and an ERA of 1.88 in '07
Francisco Cordero- about 45 saves and an ERA of about 3.00 in '07
Kevin Gregg- 30 saves is what predictions say

Overall my team is definitely good; I have a lot of power hitters and people who can drive in the runs. I should be able to finish with the best pitching because my pitchers are capable of getting minimum 15 wins, 170 strikeouts, and an ERA. of 3.00 or lower as my relievers should get at least 30 saves. One thing that my batters lack is speed. It's going to be hard to receive points for steals and triples.

Check out Frank's team, Out of the Cellar, or Adam's team, Willie Sux, and you be the judge on who has the better team!
