I have received tons of teams to rate over the next few days. I will do my best to answer everyone in a timely manner. I did post a comment for two teams that were placed in yesterday’s post.
I also just want to remind everyone that I can also be reached via AOL IM with the username winabango. During the season I will try to be on in the evening to answer any direct question that you may have.
Don’t forget to stop over to the Fantasy Baseball Guy website and listen to Lenny Melnick’s podcast. It is worth the few minutes to listen it.
Good luck to all!

Love the blog and am a subscriber … I was hoping you had time to comment on my team (I made some trades and waiver moves per your blog recommendations) … actually this is my 10-year old son’s team. We both are very new to this (so I guess I should start 5 SPs and 3 RPs), so I’d like to teach/steer him properly. Thanks for your help and keep up the great site.

I think this team is very powerful and balanced offensively. You will struggle in batting average, but the power numbers will be worth the hit on your average. Sheets and King Felix showed yesterday why I have been so high on them both. Bush should be a breakout pitcher this year. Keep Penny on a short leash.
One bit of advise, Look for two start pitchers that you can pickup for the week. In a weekly H2H this is the best way to get more starts in. I will be posting 2 start pitcher recommendations each week during the season.
