I really hope pitching isn't valuable in your league.

Your lineup obviously has tons of pop and tons of SB's with Crawford, Ellsbury and Granderson but your ace pitcher is who?

Bucholz is 4-5 in Boston.
Buerhle doesn't get many strikeouts and is probably 2 behind Peavy.
Carmona had 1 good season and you are hoping he comes anywhere close to that to get value.
Wakefield 4-5 in Boston (doesn't rack up tons of K's)
Santana should have bounce back season but again is not an ace by any means.

Even your closers are iffy. I personally like Soria but playing on KC you are just hoping he can get 35 opportunities. And Jenks will lose his job at some point. I would put Andrew Bailey in ahead of Jenks personally but his value is just like Soria. Plays on a team that plays some close games but win's don't come much.
