Not to butt in, but to offer a couple suggestions if this were my team , I'd try to get a decent 1B backup (I have Gonzalez on my team too), I'd get rid of Juan Pierre (he's on my team too! Yuck) for a more balanced player, and upgrade catcher. Frank Thomas is worthless at this stage of his career. Tulowitzki, Phillips, and Cabrera would be untouchable. I also wouldn't carry nearly that many SPs, but don't know your inning limits and number of teams in your league.

Thanks for the tips, I really don't know Fantasy Baseball that well even though this is my 5 year and at least 12th team. I just throw something together each year and hope it works out until Football season starts. I have never take the time to really learn the ins and outs.
You and I are on the same wavelength, I already backed up at 1B with the Billy kid from K.C. Granderson is on the DL so it didn't cost me anything to add him. There are a couple of guys with 2 solid 1B on their roster that should be ready to deal later in the season (they get to use both because we have a Utility position).
I'm with you on Thomas, he was my Mr. Irrelevant and I took a flyer on him. What's wrong with Pierre though? I love having a dominant SB guy on the team, it's a 5x5 league and it's a good feeling to know that I have one catagory on lock down. I like to try to do the same thing with closers as the year goes on. In additon, he should bat in the .290s and score close to 100 runs. I have enough power at other posiotns to make up for the lack of HRs and RBIs.
It's a 12 man league with no inning limit, I can have a team of all pitchers if I wanted. My strategy is to have a servicable to good guy at every offensive position then try to put out as many starters as I can every night.
