Team Evaluation - can this team win it? 9 tm NL Only

[daweasle]

Is this team good enough to compete for 1st or 2nd place in a 9 tm NL Only?

I like the idea that this could work - just cannot figure out if I have too many scrubs.

What do you think?

C Molina, Bengie
1B Sanchez, Gaby

3B Zimmerman, Ryan
SS Desmond, Ian
MI Reyes, Jose

4x4 or 5x5?

But that team looks fine to me. Although 9 team is hard to judge as opposed to 12-13 team NL league

With the exception of gary mathews, you pretty much have a team of regulars..It hinges on the Playing time of the youngsta's Ian and gaby and Tommy Manzella....

I would be looking to work the wire to grab the hot Pitcher and dump the Moyer and mccutcheons if they dont start out well....
