Hello-

I just recently got back into Fantasy baseball after years away, so I am a little rough around the edges as far as overall knowledge goes. So I was wondering if I could get a couple of opinions on roster moves to make or trades to pursue.

Its a Yahoo head to head league
8 teams
Scoring: R, H, HR, RBI, SB, BB, TB, AVG
W, S, K, ERA, WHIP

J. Mauer - C
A. Dunn - 1B, OF
J. Morneau - 1B, DL
M. Giles - 2B
E. Alfonzo - 2B, 3B
D. Wright - 3B
M. Young - SS
C. Crawford - OF
B. Abreu - OF
T. Hunter - OF
A. Rowand - OF
S. Green - 1B, OF

J. Schmidt - SP
M. Mussina - SP
Ol. Perez - SP
B. Colon - SP
J. Lieber - SP
R. Wolf - SP
G. Mota - RP
B. Ryan - RP
T. Gordon - RP
O. Dotel - RP

Any advice you could give me would be appreciated, including general team strategy, etc. Thanks for all your help.

Batting:I would start David Wright instead of Edgardo Alfonso. David Wright has posted about two homeruns as of now. Marcus Giles is good. Shawn Green is one of the finest players in the game (because he plays both 1B and RF). Your outfield is good with Torii Hunter, Carl Crawford and Bobby Abreu. Adam Dunn is a good slugger, and Joe Mauer was the #1 draft pick a few years ago. I would consider trading Edgardo Alfonso for a better short-stop.

Pitching: You have an amazing rotation. Jason Schmidt is likely to win the NL Cy Young. Don't worry about Mike Mussina's start! He will come back strong. Bartolo Colon and Jon Lieber has great starts this season. Tom Gordon and Dotel are great relievers.

Your team looks great! It looks like your team will capture the championship. I wouldn't be surprised if your team is in first-place when you read this post.

Well, considering you are in an eight team league, and I've never done an eight team league. I have no idea. I would assume everyone's team looks as stacked as yours does. I would think you need another closer. But other than that you look good. For having been out for quite some time, you sure do have a ton of youth with mauer, morneau, wright and the likes.
