    People talking about their own fantasy teams may be the most boring topic ever.

    The problem with evaluating two team or (8 team) leagues is everyone is totally stacked.

    I actually think your pitching is weak. In a 12 team league your pitching would be middle of the road. In a 10 team league not so good. In an 8 team league, you don't really have a top 15 option. The other 7 teams potentially have much stronger 1-2 punches at the top of their rotation.

    Now you loaded up with 15-25 ranked guys, and I actually like those guys a lot. Johnson, Jimenez, Billingsly, and I think Liriano and Lilly should be good. BUT just too many question marks. In an 8 teamer, I would prefer a couple studs at the top then fill it out with Jimenez and Billingsly.

    And I'm a complete advocate for waiting for pitching, just think you waited a bit too long.

    Here are my pitching staffs in my two leagues. Also somewhat weak, as I wait on pitching.

    10 teamer:

    Johan Santana
    Ricky Nolasco
    Ubaldo Jimenez
    Matt Garza
    Ryan Dempster
    Ted Lilly
    Ervin Santana

    Aardsma
    Valverde
    Capps
    Dotel

    12 teamer: (might have waited too long in this one, but I'm happy with it)

    Nolasco - I'm officially in love with him and think he is going to be huge this year.
    Garza
    Price
    Dempster
    DiceK
    Cueto
    E. Santana

    H. Bell
    Qualls
    Nunez
    Dotel



    Your hitting team is awesome.

    The name of my team is Hookers Just Like McCourt (i.e. Jamie McCourt, wife of Dodgers' owner Frank McCourt, who is divorcing him and demanding shit loads of money (kind of like a hooker)).
