TM back after 4 years--HDID

[Trader Mac]

I've been away from fantasy baseball for about 4 years. This is only a 10 team mixed league with some weird rosters. I think my only problem will be starting pitching. I might have waited to long to get started with them.

C--W Rosario
1B--Butler
1B--Morneau
2B--Altuve
SS--Desmond
3B--Wright
OF--Braun
OF--Stanton
OF--Bourn
UT--Headley
UT--K Morales
BN--Gardner
BN--Ackley
BN--O Tavares

SP--Cain
SP--Cueto
SP--Haren
SP--H Bailey
RP--Nathan
RP--Putz
P--Betancourt
P--Wilhelmsen
BN--Niese
BN--Lohse (is even on a team yet?)

Oh yeah, its 5x5

[Gregg]

I like this team alot. You may have to do some tweaking as the season goes on but this is nice team coming out of the draft.

I hope you enjoy yourself after your layoff.

Cain/Cueto is a good enough 1-2 as any, and if Haren returns to form, SP shouldn't be an issue at all.

Welcome back, Trader Mac!

It's a very balanced team with some real star power, but strikes me as a bit light for a 10-team mixed in a couple areas (specifically your rotation after cain and cueto and your combo of Morneau/Headley). But I bet you're in great shape overall.

Like it a lot and you will find plenty of undervalued SPs emerge off waivers in a 10-team. Looks good out the gate.

[Trader Mac]

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, my plan is to get a pitcher or two off the waiver wire to see who gets hot. The plan would be to drop Lohse (if he never signs) and Tavares (if he doesn't start).

I think you have the right plan, in a 10 teamer you should be able to find the flavor of the day on waivers for pitching.

[joncarlos]

I love the Cain/Cueto duo, in all honesty I would have waited a lot longer to get any pitchers at all after getting those 2. I don't think it's an exceptional team but they have good balance and you have some nice power with Braun/Stanton.

[Trader Mac]

Just when I drop Lohse for Boggs, Lohse signs. I haven't seen any news about Tavares with STL. Is he going to make the MLB club or get sent down? I might pick Lohse back up for him if he won't get much PT out of the gate.
