League had been 12 teams prior to last year when we lost 2 owners and couldn't replace them. We increased the roster from 23 to 26 - adding a 6th OF, a 2nd Utility and a 10th pitcher - and the cap to $300. If we don't expand back to 12 this year, we'll be allowed to protect 18 instead of 15. Here is my current roster:
C - Iannetta 2B, Wilson Ramos 4B, Lucroy 2B
1B - LaRoche 4B, Freeman 4B, Helton 4B
3B - P Alvarez 2B
2B - N Walker 2B, F Sanchez 3B
SS - Castro 2B
OF - Stanton 4B, Ethier 17C, Upton 19F, Braun 17F, D Brown 4B
P - J Zimmerman 1B, J McDonald 4B, Hudson 2B, Cook 4B, Paulino 2B, Broxton 4B, Storen 2B, Meek 2B, Hanrahan 2B
A player with a 'B' will be in his second year in 2011; players with a 'C' will be in their final year; Upton and Braun are in their 5th years. I have the option of signing Ethier for 4 years by increasing his salary by $15. I don't have a handle on the inflation since this will be the first year with this many keepers. I know I have enough money to buy 2 or 3 of the better pitchers that have come over to the NL. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
