You might also want to consider your catcher. Look for a catcher with a high "catcher's ability". This is different from his defensive rating at C.
I never really paid much attention to that, but then again, I had an entrenched starter at that position, in Jorge Posada. But, for my current season, I moved Posada to DH and made a trade for Geovany Soto and his 91 catcher's ability rating. With only minor tickering with my pitching staff from last season to this one, my staff has jumped from 4th in the league in ERA to 1st, I have seen Johan Santana bounce back from a disappointing previous season, I am getting a good year out of an over the hill (based on his ratings) Mike Mussina and my bullpen is living up to its potential better than it had last season.
