[Pauly]

Overall I think I didnt go young enough, but looking forward to reading your opinions - thanks!

2B- Kipnis
SS- Alexi Ramirez*
3B- David Wright
MI- Alcides Escobar*
CI- Trumbo
OF- Melky*, Ozuna*, Cruz*, Holliday, Pollock

SP- Greinke*, Ryu*, Smyly*, Lackey, Anibal, CJ Wilson + bench: Hammel, Burnett, Elias, Hudson

My first thoughts are that I like your keeper list much better than what you bought at auction. Part of that is that I am not as big of a Miggy fan as most on this site. I am not willing to pay the freight to get him. I personally never have him in my top 4 or 5.

I do like the Kipnis and Pollock buys. I also like your pitching staff for this year.

You already know this team is kind of old and slow. You already said you will be addressing the slow part. I am not sure what you do with the old part except hope they don't get hurt.

It still is a competitive team that you should have some fun with. A little in season tinkering and you could be very competitive.

Good luck.
