Let me get it straight, u gave:\nAlex Rodriguez, Paul Konerko, Marcus Giles, and Jorge Posada.\nU got:\nAlbert Pujols, Chone Figgins, and Brad Lidge.\nFirst of all, u should of given away Ramon Hernandez while he's hot and kept Posada. Then Pujols is worth A-Rod.Konerko, Giles, and Posada r a little bit better than Figgins and Lidge but considering u desperatly needed a closer, the trade for u was Good, nit very good, not great but good. at least not as terrible as everyone else said.

You do have a stacked team, but what I would do is offer Randy  Johnson and someone like Figgings for Berkman, Delgadoor someone that can get you both homers and RBI'S. Don't listen to anyone who sais you need pitching. You DONT! You have a great team I dont get why you would need homers and RBI's.

youd be pretty dumb not to take that trade. they are all starters in most leagues.

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!

you didn't ask a question.  i looked at your fantasy roster that you posted.  one suggestion i have is this: trade beltre for a stud OF.  move cantu to 3b and play loretta at 2b ... he will have a great year for the bosox.

Well I'm also currently playing yahoo fantasy baseball and I'm loving it. But about your team, I'd give it a C- for a few reasons. The main reason is you've taken on some major headache players. What I mean by that is most of your team is made up of players that have been plagued with injuries their whole career and could easily all go down this year at least once. You also have a few problems with your pitching staff. Oswalt and Smoltz are solid and are wonderful players to have on your team. but wakefield bonderman and mussina are really no good. Mussina is alright but should not be a #3 starter. Cordero is a great reliever that will get alot of saves, but cordero wont get you many points if your other relievers are farnsworth and wakefield. I suggest you either trade for another reliver or get one that is probably in the free agent market, like Jonathon Papelbon. If Armando Benitex goes down again pick up Tim Worrel. And now to your hitters. AJ Pierzinski in my opinion is waaaaay over rated. He's is no a good hitter who will lower your average alot. Carlos Delgado is a great first baseman, but with Konerko as a backup, I suggest you trade Delgado for a good outfielder which you should be able to get seeing as Delgado is just slightly over rated. Roberts is a great player who should not be traded unless you are offered a spectacular deal, which is likely not to happen because roberts is very under rated. Jones is a great third baseman that you shouldn't have traded, espcially because you can't you Thome because you already have two good first baseman, You should have kept Jones. But now that you have Thome, you should trade him while he's hot and his stock is up. Brad Wilkerson is an OK player that will produce OK numbers, but don't expect anything more out of him. Edmonds is good but his greatest asset, his fielding, doesn't even matter in fantasy baseball. Garret Anderson is OK and sure produce some okay numbers. I'd also say that you're bench is good, except for Preston wilson who is only good for homers which is the one thing you don't need. You should try to trade him for some speed. Try to get a player like Rickie Weeks for him. Hope I could halp, Michael.

Players to drop: Ausmus, Rodriguez (look for a 5era when all is said and done, last night for example), Tomko, why do people love this guy he is pathetic. You have hardly any speed, and one closer. That's 20% of all stats you are throwing out, so you start each week unless someone goes off 0-2. I like most of your pitchers, I would pick up at least 2 more SP, you have way too many roster spots for offense. 5 guys on bench, I could see 2 maybe 3, but I would much rather have 3 more starter/closers. I hope you are not playing Phillips over Kent right now.You need speed plug Roberts in for Dye, Dye rests as much as Bonds now. Trade too much good talent wasting away on bench, trade Tracy, Hawpe for some pitching, they are not doing you any good on the pine.

Weaver will get called up soon, I think.  But Uggla has a bad hamstring is isn't playing much now. Soriano is kinda cold right now but he is worth a lot.  I would trade Berkman before I would trade Soriano.  Soriano will probably be on the Mets or Yankees pretty soon. His numbers will get even better, and his value.  Houston is struggling right now.  Check on Uggla before buying. Check out a pitcher like Miner of Detroit. He's a rookie that you could get cheap. He is putting up great numbers too.  Good Luck!

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.

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.

Its not too bad of a trade, considering you have a pretty good team. If you do this trade, it probably wont hurt you too much, if anything it would help a little...but not much

1. trade willis for a quality pitcher like young of the padres.\n2. drop wood and pick up liriano of the twins. i bet they move him from the bullpen to the starting rotation.\n3. drop giles and try to trade him for lopez of the reds or pick up vidro.\n4. drop/trade pierre for holliday of the rockies, blake of the indians, or winn of the giants.\n5. drop/trade bradley and/or lee for willingham(c/of) of florida. then add swisher(1st/of) of oakland

You would be wise to do that trade. JJ Putz isn't the sloser so he won't get you saves, and since you have great pitching that won't hurt you. Morneau is an alright 1B...but Johnson is doing better.

First of all, J.J. Putz isn't doing anything anytime soon. Is this a keeper league? Putz would be good for that, but not much else. Drop him for Francisco ROdney. Rodney will be picking up saves in August and September while all the other closers tire.\nSecond, Drop some of your hitters, prefferably Casey Blake to pick up another SP. If you can get a guy who starts one of every 5 games, it will increase your IP\nThird, get Bay and Ichiro off the bench. They are two of the most dynamic players in the game. They need to be played.\nFourth, once you get Bay and Ichiro on the field, drop Burrell and pick up a player at another position. You need someone who can fill in for Roberts and Delgado consistently on their off days. Ramirez might fill the need for another 2b/SS, but you have a logjam at SS and OF. Make the platoon smaller, and pick up a 1b (is chris shelton on the board? jim thome?) Everyone has off days when they don't play, and people will get injured. Pick up a first baseman or Catcher\nFifth, and last, if you don't already, chek the team daily. You need to know who will start, who's on the DL, who has a favorable matchup, who;s slumping, etc. All of this is necessary. I am leading one of my leagues, am second in another, and fourth in my last. I lost a bet on Eric Gagne, but you don't have to make that mistake. That's all I can say for you, besides always watch SportsCenter and read SI and check your standings. Peace\n\nthomas, destroyer of worlds

looks pretty good. ur team will be very well rounded after the trade.
268757
Team A BY FAR!!! This guy has 3 definite 1st round picks with Manny, Vladdy, and Johan.  A few potential 2nd round guys with Utley, Lidge, Oswalt, Sheffield and Hafner.  This guy's team basically made his team in the first two rounds. A few others players that I didn't mention are on fire on his team with Wagner, Fielder, Dunn, Vizquel, Ensberg, Willingham! THEYRE ALL ON FIRE! The worst player on his team is Bonderman and thats saying something.  AND MADDUX! You can't compare these two teams.

depends on the rest of your lineup, but it seems like you're giving a lot up in Konerko and Cabrera to basically get Arroyo, since Figgins and Overbay are basically throw ins in the trade, imho.\n\nArroyo's been hot, no doubt, but he's really played over his head so far this year and is more likely to cool down than remain on this pace.\n\ngiven all that, I'd say it's not a good trade for you unless you're lineup is strong enough that you regularly bench Konerko and Cabrera.
