Fantasy Baseball Team

I just had my rotisserie fantasy baseball draft. Does my team look solid or am I in trouble?

impossible to tell without more information about the league. Like how many teams etc..

It looks like a 12 team league by the calibur of players and using both AL and NL.

i've never been a fan of drafting closers high...especially 3 out of your top 10 picks.

but seems alright overall.

Last year I had the last pick and drafted Francisco Rodriguez and Mariano Rivera back to back in the fifth and sixth round and it won me a title. I like to get the quality closers early because nothing is more frustrating then dealing with a crappy closer that blows save after save.

I figure I need another quality power hitting bat in my lineup. Barry Bonds is a question mark so I can't rely to heavily on him.

You won a league due to saves? Wow...thats impressive. I've basically come to conclusion that closers are a bit over hyped in fantasy stats...as they essentially are a one stat category position. Their k's, era, & whip - even w/ blown saves are not too detrimental in the grand scheme of innings pitched by you entire team.

Last year...I drafted Ryan Howard in that same round you drafted Mo Rivera (Rd. 5)...and essentially was a huge part of my winning season. I'm just saying a big bat, or a young quality starting pitcher can have a bigger impact on a wider spectrum.

I had some late round gems last year with Thome and Crede too. I dumped stolen base last year and got a (2) out of 12. I think solid closers and middle relief is an underestimated position. If you have a solid closer with a low WHIP he can push you towards the top in WHIP while somebody who has say Ryan Dempster is constanly looking for another closer on the waiver wire and forgetting about the hot bat or next hidden starter on the market. Also a player like Scott Shields can easily get you 10 easy wins in limited innings of work.
