team looks ugly though, only 1 player in top 100 spects the top 100 specs list is pretty useless right now, and in general.. Brilliants are nice, Hits and Homers mostly so, McLouth is awesome, great contact, and with A stealing ability, sick at stealing bases, should hit for a big On base percentage, definitely a guy you wanna keep, or if you wanna trade, get somebody who matches up well talent wise (tough to find his kind of player though.) Probably trade Myers, he is solid, but no Walks and Homers makes him pretty much just that, good speed means he probably legs out more doublesand triples (speed overrides Triples ability), but you never want him stealing, at all, so its not all that big of a plus. Rios is nice, not amazing, but can play SS with solid fielding, thats got some merit, still, not sure what you want to do with the team, underdeveloped a bit for his age. Wood is all power, but should make for a very good defensive SS in time, as you can up his D in spring training. Not amazing, really a fences or bust guy, but very useful in the five slot, and for a Middle infielder (MI) thats a pretty rare skillset. Longoria is nice, thats good D at 3B, doesnt matter a whole ton as long as he doesnt commit errors. Nice contact, should real,ly develop doubles, Brilliant doubles talent is a great thing to have, its the difference between a guy who drives in runs, puts himself in scoring position, and a guy who routinely gets to first but doesnt really have much outside that. Dont value it over homers, but Brilliant/Good are definitely a big plus.

for Pedroia, see Longoria, pretty sick Infield you have going with them, nice solid 2 batter, speed isnt anything great, but a superb defensive 2B...would like to see his homers develop a bit quicker, 2 at 24 is a concern. Still, valuable.
McClutchen is meh, but I think he took some hits maybe Still solid, but not an On base guy, and A/B is not really great to send on stealing sadly, A stealing ability is huge for that reason, you can steal at a very high percentage with A SA, Running speed tends to control amount, not quality, of the attempts, and runners get picked off a lot on A/B at second. Still, dont just dump him, PDs can bea bitch, and a wonderful thing, and the big thing for him is, one PD to Stealing ability makes him a potential A/A, one PD to Walks/Ks (you likely will see K avoidance in any PD) makes him very nice, and one PD to Hits/Homers/Doubles (rare), makes him a stud.

Stanton is really nice, still has a few years before he is ready though, probably not til late next year early the following, really young though.

Jake is awesome, but his duration is a majhor problem, 5.2 innings is not something you really care to see out of a pitcher, however, talk with Spencer, Play or whoever does your ST file, you can take points away from areas and up his duration in Spring Training, he has stud value if you can get that done in the next two years. With his K's, probably want B for him at least, A is ideal, but C is easily acceptable with his talents, as you work it, and that should be next year if you choose to go that direction.

also, avoid any pitchher that doesnt have AT LEAST Good in walks for a starter (or can be camped to that)
really the way the league is right now, you want the guy to be G/B in Hits, Homers, Walks. K's are a luxury, velocity and K's compliment each other very well, tough to get K's without the other. Doubles are nice, I dont like Fair doubles talent, but ask around onthat one, my opinion very well could be wrong, Average seems to be fine with a 5/6 rating in it though.
