Thank you very much for your thoughts!

You'll get more replies in the SOM online forum. Few folks venture in the strategy section anymore. My first thought looking at your team is the probabilty of getting little to nothing for your money spent on Wright in the Metrodome. I'd give you more of my thoughts, but am in constant pain from a toothache, and can't concentrate on anything but that at the moment. Move this thread over to the other forumand I'm sure some Vets will share their thoughts.

thanks, will do...hope your tooth gets better soon

Your offensive is a little too anemic and won't score very many runs. I tried Russell Martin in the lead off hole and he underperformed. Your two through five hitters are solid. However, it looks like your 6 through 9 hitters are a tad weak.
