7 for pitching, 9 for hitting.\n\nAdvices:\n- You really don't need a catcher for UTL.  Another OF or 1B player can contribute more.\n- Your SPs won't give you a lot of wins.

Javy Lopez, Khalil Greene, Koronka need to be dropped asap. Beyond that I don't see how your team is in last. Is this a 12 team league? You are getting killed offensively. hardly any speed, don't score many runs. Pitching you can't go wrong with Santana, Cap, and Halladay. Your closers are off to slow starts. Westbrook I would drop, hold onto Haren even though he is off to a sluggish start. Hamels COULD be a stud, we will see. You really don't have any trade bate other than your pitchers and I would get rid of the top 3, better luck next year!!!!!

Good Question:\n\nNL (starters):\nC: Johnny Estrada: 6HR, 45RBI, .315AVG\n1B: Pujols: no need for numbers\n2B: Chase Utley\nSS: Jose Reyes: tablesetter; he scares me.\n3B: D. Wright: his catch early season was sick...and he can hit.\nOF #1: Berkman\nOF#2: Beltran\nOF#3: Carlos Lee\nNL (2nd teamers)\nC: David Ross: 100 less AB's to McCann better numbers in everything except AVG.\n1B: Nomar\n2B: Dan Uggla\nSS: Freddy Sanchez\n3B: Miguel Cabrera: big numbers, small amount of protection in that lineup.\nOF#1: Andruw Jones\nOF#2: Soriano\nOF#3: Dunn: This is only because I really wanted to see him in the homerun derby. Holliday deserves it.\n\nSP: Brandon Webb\n\nAL starters: \n\nC: Mauer\n1B: Ortiz (Playing in NL park)\n2B: Least deserving all star postion on both leagues. I'll take Jose Lopez.\nSS: Tejada\n3B: A-Rod\nOF#1: Dye\nOF#2: Wells\nOF#3: Ramirez\n\nSP: Liriano: He has 1/2 the amount of starts as other pitcher and all of his numbers are top 10 or better. Plus if you're on the AL team and you have a shot at World Series Home field advantage do you really want Rogers 3.65+ ERA on the mound? Most of the NL has hit off of him several times. Liriano hasn't faced but a few of the NL hitters and most of them have seen him less than 5 times.\nAL Second stringers\nC: Ramon Hernandez: 15HR 61RBI--how many catchers have ever put up these numbers before all-star break?\n1B: Haffner or Thome? Gotta go Thome because of teams overall record.\n2B: Brian Roberts: if it was up to me Lopez would be my only true 2B.\nSS: Jeter: Glue that has held that team together after all of their injuries\n3B: Crede: I would take similiar RBI's and better defense compared to Glaus.\nOF#1: Crawford: I love extremely fast guys who hit for power and high average\nOF#2: Rios\nOF#3: Vlad: His defense puts him over Mags\n\n*****If the fans (including myself) continue to vote Paul laaaaaduca into the all-star game I say fans should wave their right to decide the starters. Secondly; one rep from each team should be abolished.

its a damn good team thats for sure. but pujols is now injured, and who knows how long he will be gone. cabrera from the marlins is not exactly a great player, hes good dont get me wrong, but i would perhaps lean towards sumone like vernon wells or alex rios from toronto, who are both really hot this year. paplebon is amazing. so overall its a really good team, but perhaps not the greatest, but it doesnt get too much better than that.

so how 'bout cc tonight?  (i have him too.)\n\nbenitez is out, dude... fernando rodney (det) might get some save while todd jones is hurt... love cantu, if you win he'll be a bigger part of your success than beltre or konerko will... think you might need a bit more outfield speed if stolen bases is a category, someone like aaron rowand or luis matos available? womack and hunter may be enough to carry you... i'm high on ervin santana too, in 2007...beckett will be huge... drop matheny get johjima (sea) or willingham (fla) as a backup catcher... looks like a winner overall!

dont listen to anybody on here except for the last guy. your team is good and the only thing i think you are lacking is speed for SB but everything else seems like it is covered well. i think you should pick up jacobs from florida as a back up 1B cause he is gonna be extremely good this year and Hermida from florida is said to be the best rookie this year so that could be another and for pitchers i would get aaron small from the yankess 10-0 last year in about 15 games with a good era and he will certainly get wins for you

C - Josh Gibson; can't forget about the Negro Leagues; Bench is definitely one to consider though\n\n1B - Lou Gehrig; in about 20 years, I may be putting Pujols here\n\n2B - Rogers Hornsby; consideration given to Nap Lajoie and Rod Carew\n\nSS - Honus Wagner; Ozzie Smith was the best defensive SS, and Ernie Banks was the best offensive SS, but Wagner is the best all around; probably the toughest position to pick\n\n3B - Mike Schmidt; Brooks Robinson was better defensively, but Schmidt was significantly better at the plate, which is why he gets the nod\n\nLF - Stan Musial; I know a lot of people are wondering about Williams here, but Musial had nearly 1000 more career hits, was a 24 time All Star and a 3 time MVP, not to mention the four World Series that he played in.  And he played in roughly the same time frame ('41-'63) as Williams ('39-'60), who was a 17 time All Star and won 1 MVP while playing in just one World Series.\n\nCF - Willie Mays; with some big considerations to Mantle, Cobb, and Oscar Charleston\n\nRF - Babe Ruth; all apologizes to Aaron (with his career HR and RBI records) and Clemente (with his 12 Gold Gloves), but it was Ruth's lifetime .342 average that really got me leaning this way...oh yeah, and he hit for quite a bit of power.\n\nSP - Walter Johnson; with a large amount of consideration given to Young, Spahn, Mathewson, Bob Gibson, Satchel Paige and Koufax, but it was Johnson's W's, K's, shut-outs (110) and lifetime 2.35 ERA that set him apart from the pack.\n\nRP - Eckersley; revolutionized the closer position, after spending 12 years as a starter\n\nPH - Lenny Harris, has more pinch hits than anybody else in the history of the game, and a .263 career average as a pinch hitter (not bad considering he has 800+ career PH AB's)\n\nHonorable Mention - Looking over the list of players that I didn't include, it's difficult to pick just one.  However, I'd have to go with Ted Williams for the Honorable Mention.  If he played just about any other position, he would have been my first choice.

Are you looking at a trade involving these players?  If so, I'm not so sure that I'd pull the trigger on it.  Who else do you have for a catcher?  There are not a lot of good catchers out there.  Barrett is suspended, but has hit fairly well this year.  Sexson and Ensberg are worth keeping because they can produce pretty well.  Iguchi is a decent player, but I'm not so sure that I would keep him.  I don't know much about Atkins or Soler.\n\nShelton has only hit 4 or 5 home runs in the past couple of months, with the number of solid 1B in baseball, you can probably find better numbers from a different 1B.  Hall is a good grab because of his versatility, you can play him at a number of positions.  Phillips and Lopez have been playing well, as has Zimmerman.  Feliz has gotten some good playing time and produced fairly well this year.  I'm a little hesitant with Castillo because he hasn't played as well lately, though he is good for some speed numbers.\n\nI hope this has helped at least a little bit.

brian roberts: is he going to be able to go for the first part of the season?  you could shift freel to 2nd and grab another outfielder (one with power... are raul ibanez or geoff jenkins available?)  cabrera is a great hitter, so is his teammate jeremy hermida.  but the marlins will struggle to score... LOVE mike young and aramis ramirez.  sean casey could surprise!\n\ni like your pitching staff, rodriguez is going to be the best in the game very soon. valverde... hmm, we'll see. i do think vazquez and zito will bounce back... in fact the whole A's team feels good to me.  take a look at dan haren if he's available.\n\nhope they work out for you... 1 more day!
