On the SB subject, I realize that statistically they aren't worth it unless you're over 75% succesful. In OOTP I'm generally happy with a 60% success rate and on certain teams in MLB I think that'd be fine too. But there are teams with enough offensive firepower behind the speedsters that unless you're pretty damn sure you're going to be safe, it just isn't worth the out.

I actually deleted the team whose lineup I posted above before I played any games. I wound up with an excellent bullpen, a few strong prospects and a decent rotation that had a lot of upside in a season or two. Don't know why I deleted the league, I just wanted to run another draft I guess and I don't like having more than a couple of saved leagues at once (or else I just get confused as to which is which).
