Week Eleven Recap (7-4): Turning the corner, line-up ready to roll

TEAM VIRGINIA                   450          
ATLANTIC CITY SHARKS   411


Lineup moves:  Victor Martinez came off the DL last week and plugging him in alongside the rest of my waiver wire snags and the lineup looks like it just might be turning a corner.   They posted a healthy 238 points.  Can you say DOMINANT.  baby.

The lineup now looks like this:

C Buster Posey  - drafted #29
*1B Kendrys Morales - undrafted/FA pickup April 13th
2B Robbie Cano - drafted #12
3B Kyle Seager - drafted #52
*SS Brandon Crawford - undrafted/FA pickup May 21st
SS/2B Anthony Rendon - drafted #32
*1B/3B Maikel Franco - undrafted/FA pickup June 3rd
*OF Starling Marte - drafted #42/FA pickup April 20th
OF Mookie Betts - drafted #49
*OF Ben Zobrist - drafted #141/FA pickup May 14th
*OF Josh Reddick -undrafted/FA pickup April 29th
*OF Josh Harrison - drafted #154/FA pickup May 15th
*DH Victor Martinez -drafted #50th/FA pickup May 28th

Pitching Moves:  Joakim Soria looks like he's about to loose his job and Jason Grilli hit the DL.  The staff put up a sorry 173 with the waiver wire pickups being so-so (10-3) but the bullpen had a rough week and being down to five closers posted only 6 saves.  Fixable for sure but annoying.

Conclusions;  The roster is almost there.  Lineup feels just about set (depending on how long Franco stays hot and whether Martinez hits this year), I just need another two solid-to-a-squidge above average closers.
