In that many team league you had an extraordinary draft. Yes, I think you have a very good chance t otake it all. if your league uses DL spot I dont think there is any reason to drop Winn for a backup at all.

Only other thing I can think of dor your team is that you do need to get some SBs but... at the same time, in H2H Roto you can afford to punt a category if the rest of your team is strong in all the other areas, which I believe yours is.

i agree with pfusco that you have an an outstanding chance to win with this team. i tend to disagree a little with the fact that you need more SBs though. although you dont have any huge steal guys, i think overall you're going to be middle of the pack at worst in a 16 team league.

overall it looks to me like you're pretty balanced in every position here. also, i dont think you should feel the need to drop winn for a backup SS, especially Uribe. In my opinion, I think dropping Sosa for Betemit would make a little more sense, but that may just be a little of my Cardinal bias and hate for Sammy talking.

looks like you have an extremely good chance of taking the league in my eyes. good luck

Paul Maholm, Kip Wells, Orlando Hernandez, Matt Morris, and Tim Wakefield are all available. Should I drop Rivera (who's out until June) for any of these guys? I decided to keep Winn over the ss.

I would hold onto Winn, drop Sosa, grab Hill (Multiple Position eligibility) and stay far away from all of those SP's you listed. Or you could drop Rivera, but don't you have a DL spot you can put him in when he becomes DL Eligible?

GREAT draft for a 16 team league. Short bus league?
