You can't really upgrade at any of your OF spots (realistically), SS or C, and your starting pitching is a nice blend of strikeout guys with big upside; I think Weeks and O-dog will be more than adequate options at 2nd as well. Since you only start 2 each of SP and RP, it would seem, then the only reason you would want P's on your bench is if you could find good value and it's a daily league. That being hte case, I would look to dump Pudge and Aurilia in an attempt to get some guys with really big upside--Adam Lind, Josh Hamilton, Corey Hart come to mind right off the bat, as guys who might not be rostered yet in a shallow 12 teamer. Sure you can't play any of them at OF, but they give you a nice backup should one of your starters get hurt, and plenty of trade bait if one or two blow up.  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You could also look to pick up someone like that so you can try and pull a 2:1 to upgrade Zimmerman to a Wright, Miggy Cab or ARod. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Very nice team though. And in parting--shallow leagues like this are all about stud accumulation; yes, in every league you want studs but the more 2:1's you can pull the better off you are because of the available talent on the wire.</description><pubDate>Tue, 17 Apr 2007 16:48:22 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>bstone</dc:creator></item><item><title>trying to get a little better..please rate</title><link>http://www.talentedmrroto.com/forum/Topic305182-44-1.aspx</link><description>we star c, 1b, 2b, 3b, ss, 3OF, 1 dh, 2 sp, 2rp&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We have a tiny bench in a 12 team league&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;C B.
