Look on the waiver wire for hidden gems and trade Chris Shelton for a consistent fanstasy producer while Shelton has such a high value. Don't worry yet, their are still many more weeks. If your league plays SP's, RP's, then just P's for the P's use relief pitchers who appear in more games than starters

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

There are such things as untouchables in fantasy baseball... A few years ago, it was Bonds... But right now, I'd say the two untouchables are A-Rod and Pujols... There is just no way you can justify trading these guys... They are the foundation of your team... \n\nNow, trading A-Rod for Podsednik and Carpenter is not a good deal... Last year, A-Rod put up 124 R, 48 HR, and 130 RBIs... Now those are GREAT numbers for a 3B... At the same time, Podsednik put up 80 R, 0 HR, 25 RBIs but did have 59 SB to A-Rods 3... This all came from an OF spot... And Carpenter just put up a 21 and 5 W-L record with a 2.83 ERA and 213 K's... Now to analyze how they might do this year... A-Rod's line-up has only added a leadoff hitter, which New York lacked all last year... So, A-Rod is hitting in a better line-up this year than last... That only makes his chances of having as good of or better year than last year better... Podsednik will get you steals and that is about it... That is his only value... You could probably get him by trading a second-tier player but not an untouchable! Carpenter is a little trickier... He had an amazing year last year and is following that up with a pretty good year so far...BUT, Carpenter has only had one good year and one truly great year... and pitchers can tend to be fickle...although I would personally love to have him on my team, I could not justify trading A-Rod away for him... I look at it this way... A-Rod is worth two average players worth of production... Carpenter is worth maybe a pitcher and a halfs worth of production (although you'll probably miss out on the sparkling ERA)... \n\nAfter saying all that, I would not make this trade unless you really feel the need for SB's and your pitching is headed by Jon Leiber...

Get rid of Clemens and Spahn and take Juan Marichal.  That gives you 2 lefty's and 3 righty's and a good combination of pitchers.

this team is definately one of the more solid i've seen top to bottom...for a 12-team league, ur hitters are unbelievable, and your pitchers are pretty good as well...definately do that trade, it'd really benefit ur offensive production.

1.Uggla\n2. Colon will be back soon, and Matsui is out for season. not sure about the other 2\n3. It depends on how your other starting pitchers are doing. (I personally would keep him).\n4. No do not worry about 2ND base at all\n5. I have the same issue-If you look at the other catchers he is a little above average and he will get better.\n6. except for your relievers very good\n7. You said hitting team so batting average very good, runs also are very good, good RBI.You have a lot of speed but you are not likely to win Home Runs.

First of all if Figgins somehow clears waivers get him back.  That wasn't a good move.  Castillo is pretty much worthless at 2B.  If you don't get Figgins back,  Polanco, Durham or even Hudson would be improvements.  Bench Mench until he gets hot, Move Huff to OF and I guess use Overbay at UTil.  Cut Sele and Sanchez from your pitching staff.  Burgos of KC or  Sosa of the Braves are actually closing and are available.  As for SP Sele could best be replaced by Nolasco or Lilly.  As you have just one closer maybe dropping both Sanchez and Sele for closers would work just as well as grabbing a SP and a closer.  Mike Cameron would be an upgrade from Shawn Green so I'd make that move as well.  You're allowed unlimited moves, so I'd drop Martin for Napoli of the Angels.  You could always get Martin back later if needed.

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.

I am looking at your team. I looked it up on yahoo and this is what I would do. I would drop B. Hall and pick up T. Wiggington. He has 5 dingers and Hall is not that much help at all. I would drop Foulke for the next best closer you can get. Foulke will not get the job back from Papelbon. Maybe you should pick up Putz, he is in free agency. I think you can just let Gagne go. He might be done for his career. I would pick up another pitcher for him. \n\nOver all I think you have a good team. Especially when Chipper comes back.

Don't use Utley, the best 2B in MLB right now, and Tracy to get Edmonds because Utley is better than Edmonds and wat's the point of giving a power hitter for a power hitter??I'd trade C. Crawford and J. Nathan for a guy like Bobby Abreu.Then put Guillen on the BN. Don't use Schilling, Utley, or Konerko as trade bait because Schilling is the base of your pitching staff, and Utley and Konerko are your power hitters. I take advantage of having 4 very good closers and Derek Lowe. Lowe is hot right now and I don't think he'll keep it up for long. And try to get a OF power hitter cause your OF is kinda weakish.\nBut fully be aware of that usually it's pitching that gets u high in the standings. And drop Linebrink and Hernandez because Linebrink is a nonclosing reliever, which r pretty much pointless in fantasy baseball and Hernandez is only good for SOs. Maybe drop Nady for something alittle better. Yeah, that's pretty much it, good luck!!! :)

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 would look at starting Vlad Guerrero full-time rather than Gomes.  Keep Wright at 3rd as he offers power plus stolen bases and batting average rather than Glaus.  Dump Baez for another closer.  Unless you really need the strikeouts, keep Hernandez on the bench until his ERA comes down.  Unless you are in my Yahoo League, do not cut him.\n\nThe big thing you have to do, given your games per position maximum, is to adjust your lineup DAILY to make sure you get stats whenever possible.  This might hurt the batting average, but a 1 for 4 with an RBI might be better than no stats.

Drop Matsui cuz he's not coming bak till early September. I'd bench T. Wakefield and F. Hernandez and put in Jeremy Bonderman maybe trade F. Hernandez and T. Wakefield for T. Glavine. Your closers r terrible cuz K. Foulke isnt the closer anymore and F. Cordero isn't the closer for the Rangers either. Guardado will be closing for the Mariners soon. But still since Guardado isnt closing yet, I'd go get a closer like J. Isringhausen for F. Cordero and K. Foulke.Actually include Matsui in the Isringhausen trade too. But then go for B. Fuentes, the Rockies closer. He's good and the Rockies r winning a lot of games this year.\nI'd also try to improve your middle infielders, L. Castillo and J. Peralta cuz Castillo is coolin down a lot and Peralta is in a slumpish mood right now. Also try to get another back-up for your OFs cuz Nixon isn't enough.\n7.5 out of 10.

If you need some good pitching- check if these guys are available-\n\nJosh Johnson- Marlins\nJered Weaver- Angels\nIan Snell- Pirates\nCasey Janssen- Blue Jays

Yes a few. First thing you do, put david Wright in for Glaus, don't know why you haven't already. Next, put bay in for Gomes or Ichiro, you're call. Next, you want to trade away Glaus Swisher and Gomes or Ichiro For some pitching and a hitter in return. You're hitting is great but you're pitching needs work, so you should trade right now. You're elivers are getting you no where so get someone good. But the team looks good really
