If you read my comments below, I put Hamels instead of Utley on my bench.

Rollins is a better FANTASY player than Big Papi, for last year. Your title is mlb fantasy team. Both players hit 300, however, Rollins only has 4 less homers, and only has about 20 less RBIS. That is amazing comparing a leadoff hitter to a cleanup hitter. But, on to Rollins strongpoints: Rollins has 30 more hits, 25 more runs, 20 more triples, and 40 more stolen bases. In a fantasy league, these are the hard to win categories. There are many 30 Hr 110 RBI players out there. Its harder to come by a player like Rollins that stacks up in EVERY category.

My bench is also better, if you read the comment below, I have Oswalt and Hamels. That adds alot of depth to the pitching staff. You have no depth.

I should also get RP considering no one knows how Jaba will do over an entire season. I do think hes amazing, but my pick is a proven star year in and year out, with no injuries. Jaba did a good job for about two seasons this year, but noone knows how he will fare over an entire season, especially in NY

BTW--MATT HOLIDAY DIDNT WIN MVP, MY DH, ROLLINS WON IT
At the time of my 1st post, miggy was a marlin

I NEVER SAID ORTIZ HAD BETTER STATS THAN ROLLINS, DONT PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH.

Oswalt and Hamels are on the bench for pitching, which is how Yahoo! works. And even if jaba is better on a personal level than shields, its the best MLB team. my team is better. i have more pitching depth, i have more contact hitters, more speed, more runs, etc. You have a lot of big name guys, but they all play the same. Hit HRs, and knock in runs. I h ave those players, plus small ball guys that would give me the steals, the runs, the triples, etc. My team is better because it has enough power to challenge your teams power yet still manages to get a ton more SB, R, and other small ball statistics, not to mention my pitching is way better because of depth.
