If I were you, I would trade Garrett Atkins and Jermaine Dye for a better 3b, because Dye is playing rele well right now and he won't keep it up, and Atkins is a nobody.\n\nDrop Chin Ming Ding Wing Fing Ling cos he friggen sux...there's gotta be a hot pitcher out there on free agency that you could pick up, especially if ur league scores holds as a category. I just picked up T. Coffey from the Reds and he has an outstanding ERA and 5 holds already.\n\nYour team is good enough to make the playoffs, but you need to make a few moves to win the league.

hamels, billingsley need to go...there are better options.  reyes (cardinals) has been pitching well.  josh johnson (marlins) has been really good too.\n\ncatcher position typically doesn't produce much offense.  so if you're going to go cheap there, try damian ross, olivo or johjima  for a little more money.\n\nyou got tons of money geared towards hitting....soriano is very streaky and right now he is ice cold.  ibanez is a solid cheaper option for OF.  if you want some MIs, you can take a look at iguchi, sanchez (pirates), and ramirez( marlins) who's starting to hit again.  if you can save some money here but still have solid hitters, you can upgrade your rookie pitchers.

The counter offer, Ortiz for Halladay is good. However, try Thome for Pedro. If either one of those trades don't work, then DO NOT accept the current trade: Ortiz and Thome for Halladay and Pedro.\nThen again, why am I saying that. I have both Halladay and Santana on my team.

Do you ever look at your team. Clemens hasn't pitched yet this season and will probebly retire so bench him until he makes a decision and put another pitcher in. Wagner is good but look for better relief. Starting is better. Get a new infielders except Thome. Look on waivers you wont believe what you'll find if you look hard enough. Always look to upgrade, never be satisfied. Don't panic, you really shouldn't even look at your standings or make any major moves until late May

i would give you a 10 but you have A.J.PIERZYNSKI so i gave you a 9. DROP HIM AND TRY TO PICKUP ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:\n1. willingham (c/of) for the marlins\n2. martinez (c) for the indians\n3. mauer (c) for the twins\n4. mcann (c) for the braves if he is not hurt

There guys are talking like verlander is still around in the league........there is noway he isn't picked up. As for starting pitching. Pick up Bonser from Minnesota right away. He is a young guy just brought up with a good arm. I would also get Cole Hamels who is hurt for a bit but looked good in his two starts. Don't worry about Lugo, he is good and recovering. I might try and make a trade for McDougal or Colon, they are both close to returning to the lineup from the dl, and you can probably get them cheap. You have no reason to keep Maddux, Young, Benson, Tomko, Chacon, or Wright...you can get better pitching than any of them in the free agency (I know Tomko is hot right now). I would try trading one of your good OF and try to pick up an Ace and pick up a Raul Ibanez or Casey Blake or Corey Patterson if available. Good outfielders are a lot easier to find that good pitching. You are in serious need of some pitching. Your hitting is stacked though. \n\nNote: You could try and trade Giambi for some pitching too. Maybe pick up a closer while you are at it.

I wouldn't panic just yet. Pretty early in the season unless you are not playing head to head. Might try dangling them to other owners but a lot of people won't be apt to trade this early. But there are people out there that give up on players as soon as they have a bad week or two so you might be able to get a slow starter for em. Personally I would just ride it out for a week or two more.

great trade for you...your getting 3 quality guys for one quality guy.  Your messing up his team threfore you have a better chance of winning your league.  He has to find another third basemen and an OF.  Third base is a hard postition to get a good player especially of Blalock's caliber.

I say jump on Jon Lester 1st & Jered Weaver 2nd.  I know Weaver has been sent down, but he'll be back into the Angels rotation soon enough.\n\nCouple Lester w/ that Boston offense, I think you have a potential winner there.  Just my opinion though.

Great job on the trades, I think you'll be doing fine.  FOr an 8 team league, you should probably get someone oterh than Johjima since you have Willingham who is doing very well hitting in front of Cabrera.  Maybe try trading him to a team that needs a catcher.  Johjima isn't doing so hot right now anyways.\n\nI think your 3B trade was okay but I think Ensberg will ahve better numbers in the end.  The other 2 trades were excellent.  I don't like Kent's chances this year of rebounding but you got Reyes which is good.\n\nBy the way, how does Mike Lowell count for 2B in your league?  That's crazy.
158062
YES!  Do it!  Iguchi is streaky and unproven--a second tier 2B at best.  Capuano is pretty good, but not as good as the Cy young candidate Santana.  Berkman hit two Bombs today.  You know what you will get from Santana and Berkman --two top tier players.  Bonds is extremely high risk.  Visquel is good but not a great offensive player, and he hits in a pitching friendly BP.  You gotta take this trade!\n\nAll in all, you gave 4 for 2--you get to pick up two players, a 2B, and SS.  Take a chance on the waiver wire, maybe a guy like Jack Wilson, Jose Lopez, or Ian Kinsler is avail.

Out of that bunch, you may be best served trading Randy Johnson and Ryan Dempster. You have two strikeout guys in Santana and Kazmir and occasionally a third with Buehrle. \n\nGetting a taker for Johnson should be easy, look for a younger starter like SF's Noah Lowry, or Anaheim's John Lackey or Washington's John Patterson. I know Patterson is injured now and won't be back for another two weeks, but he looks like a keeper.\n\nIf you package Chipper and maybe Beltran for a superstar outfielder, that may also work.

Hell yeah dude!!!! I noe u're thinkin that givin up Hafner and Damon is a little too much, but u get ALBERT PUJOLS!!! AND B. HALL!!!!!! DUDE, U R SOOOOO LUCKY!!! U EVEN ASKING????U'LL PUT N. SWISSER(OAK-1B,OF) IN THE OF AND PUT PUJOLS AT 1B AND PUT P. FIELDER AS THE UTIL CUZ HE TEARIN IT UP RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!\nim suprised he gave u a. pujols AND b. hall.\nbtw, dont listen to jondogg cuz he a big fatass lier, no1 would offer hafner, crede(the best 3rd baseman in the AL), and R. Sexson just for A. Otsuka.and even if some1 did, he's even stupider not 2 exept that trade. now tell me, woudl u listen to a stupid person???\nI greatly appreciate for picking me best answer several times. Don't drop B. Hall unless u have a good closer or OF on the market. Put B. Hall, K. Youkilis, and E. Santana on the trading block. Probably no1 will bite but, it wont hurt u.Maybe put W. Rodriguez on the block 2. And put C. Schilling in there immediatly!!! and also put E. Santana on there for V. Padilla and M. Mussina in there for D. Cabrera. Actually drop him.\nPick up C. Granderson(Det-OF) if he isn't taken already.\nHere are guys u want to drop:\nD. Cabrera(Bal-SP)\nV. Padilla(Tex-SP)\nD. Bush(Mil-SP)\nW. Rodriguez(Hou-SP)\nGuys that you can trade:\nT. Hunter(Min-OF)\nA. Kearns(Cin-OF)\nE. Santana(LAA-SP)\nK. Youkilis(Bos-1B,3B)\n\nYour needs:\nAtleast 1 more closer, a productive OF\nPossible trades:\nT. Hunter and E. Santana for J. Dye(CWS-OF)\nA. Kearns and K. Youkilis for A. Otsuka(Tex-RP)\nLook out for closers on the waivers. I had closer problems on both of my fantasy baseball teams.\nOn 1 team I only had B. Wagner and then I picked up A. Otsuka(Tex-RP) and M. Gonzalez(Pit-RP).On my other team I only had D. Turnbow(Mil-RP), then someone dropped B. Wickman(Cle-RP). And after that I picked up J. Borowski(Flo-RP). Good luck pal. \n\nps i think your team will do fine, a team can't be absolutely 100% perfect.Atleast u have B. Wagner.

I would give your team an 8.  Posada's not a top tier catcher anymore. Ortiz and A-Rod will put up monster numbers, Utley puts up great numbers for 2B, Jeter puts up some of the best stats for a SS, Matsui is a keeper, Griffey is questionable because of his injury problems, Giles numbers have been down in recent years, Santana is a dominant pitcher with little run support, Beckett's WHIP and ERA will jump a little going into the AL, Johnson will have solid numbers, Colon is questionable, and Rivera is still great.  You seem to be lacking in stolen bases, you might trade Colon for a pitcher with better WHIP and ERA, and you need another RP.

I just saw your team and you don't need Cano who is the same as Castillo and Garland isn't a great pitcher. U have good pitchers, but not great pitchers, so trade Helton for Tejada cause Guillen sucks. and trade Hafner for Peavy or Santana or another great pitcher.

Alex Rios (Tor - OF)\nCasey Blake (Cle - 3B, OF)\nJoe Crede (CWS - 3B)\nCraig Wilson (Pit - 1B, OF)\n\n\nThose guys are doing pretty well this season, especially Rios and Blake. If either of those are available then pick them up and expect them to take a permament spot in your roster, as for Crede and Wilson they've cooled off after a pretty decent start. Don't expect them to stay on your team very long.

Honestly, I feel that you have too much starting pitching. You will probably top the Wins catorgory in your league but your ERA  and WHIP will be high and your Saves and K will be low. RPs almost always do better in those catogories.  Consider trading one of your starters for a closer with a high K/IP and a low WHIP and ERA. A high K/IP guy that might be available on the FA market is J J Putz. \nAlso, maybe you could trade some of that SP for some speed like Brian Roberts or Pods. Willy Travaras and Dave Roberts are often availible as a base stealers via FA.\nAnyway, good luck and have fun!
