I still like my hitting, plus the depth. Holliday is still holding up enough but I have Pippen and Hood if I need an emergency fill. My 3B platoon is amazing in productivity. I need more out of Smithers and Harper to truly matter in the league though. I think Rasmus was a fluke, but I'll certainly take another 30/30 year. Ackley starts for now, he's a little better across the board than Pippen, and was more consistent last season.
I still hate my rotation. I need a horse behind Inoa so I can move Thompson to 3 and Greinke to 4. And all would be well. Till then, my rotation is disjointed and I have to use Tucker for now. Never trust a pitcher Florida is trying to dump >=)
My pen is my strength, Weathers is one of the best closers outside of Marmol, if not the best. I have power pitchers surrounding him in Dick, Cecil, and Olsen plus the addition of Zambrano. Tankersley has been good for me and I am hoping Janssen continues to be as solid as he was with Toronto. I even have James Hassen, who's much like Olsen, in the works. It's good to be my pen.
