My thoughts on the team? I thought I made a couple of mistakes and got thusly punished for them. I knew the corner infield pool dries up in a hurry in the AL, but I didn't take a middle tier guy when I should have. Instead, I spent on Denard Span's stolen bases and left myself a little short all around. The money could have been distributed better. I also locked myself out on some players with the Owens/Wise combo, leave me in dollar days a player or two early. As a consequence, I got blocked out of a few of my endgame targets like Sean Gallagher, Rick Porcello and Ronny Cedeno (as Lugo insurance), all drafted by Joe Sheehan, and Marcus Thames and Jensen Lewis, drafted by Glenn Colton.

Right now I'm a little short on power and need one more starting pitcher. I'll have to be active early in FAAB. Fortunately, with the new four-man reserve rosters, I think that there will be more FAAB opportunities.
