You have to focus on some categories, try to beat others big in some categories, then you can get max points on them.  An everything-above-average team is not going to get you in front of others.\n\nFor example, by looking at your teams, it's easy to see you can't win SB and HR.  You have only Barfield can steal (Tori Hunter doesn't steal much after last year's injury, Stewart's number has declined too).  You should focus on AVG and RBI, that means to get someone hit at 3rd, 4th or fifth spot, in a good offense team (not SD or Min).

well, Gordon and Suzuki are no where close to Lackey and Cordero, and since you said you have 4 outfielders, I guess you are set. You are gonna hurt a lil in AVG and Hits, but if Ichiro has another off year lik '05, you'll end up looking like a very smart man. Gordon is nothin but a set-up man. If your league counts Holds as a category then he's fine, but other than that K/9 and ERA is about it.... You come off on top.

You should have noticed that you don't have any closer.  Your batters and starting pitchers are above average.\n\nSince it's really hard to trade a good closer, my advice is not to get any of them.  Trade for one closer won't help you too much, because in a 12-team league most of the teams have 2-3 closers already.\n\nTry to win some categories, but not win them all.  For example, drop Batista and Putz and try to get more Wins and Ks.  In a 5x5 league you would win 2 out of 5 pitching categoeis, and if you can have a low ERA/WHIP (highly possible with your pitchers), you would win.  You should also trade some batters. because most of the time those bench batters contribute nothing to your team.

First off, not a chance. Gordon is the top reliever and Lopez is stealing bags and hitting homers. Tejada is good but Thompson is a nobody having a decent season for a club that is barely better than the Marlins right now.\nYou seem to have a lot of good pitchers but a horrid outfield. Look at trading for Gordon and an OF. Maybe offer Turnbow, any OF and a good starter such as Beckett, Sabathia or Glavine for Gordon and a power hitting OF (Hawpe will be good if you can get him from whoever has him in your league).

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.

Oswalt and Pettite will decide your team's fate. Lance Berkman must stay healthy. Can Biggio stay in top of his game?  Bagwell should say goodbye and thanks for the memories.  Arnsberg, Taveras, and Lane will need to exceed\nlast year production.  St Louis, and Chicago reloaded  in NL Central.  Preston Wilson is a short term answer to your team's needs.

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.

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.

Can you make trades?  You need to replace Ross at C.  You also need more OF power.  Maybe trade some of those 2b/3b?

I think that you have a pretty solid team. You have a LOT of depth in starting pitching, and some pretty decent bats. One suggestion that I would make is to upgrade at 2B. Use one of your starters, or package a starter with Brian Roberts if need be, and try to get one of the top 2B, maybe Alfonso Soriano. Hope that helps.

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!

the team is a 7. to improve your team HERE IS WHAT I SUGGEST:\n1. drop anderson and pickup up rios, blake, or holiday.\n2. drop casey and add swisher, shelton, or berkman.\n3. drop counsell and add polanco, lopez, or cabrerra(angels).\n4. drop gagne and add papelbon, jones, or jenks.\n5. johnson is okay but i would rathe have blake or swisher or lopez.

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.

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.

hey there sweetheart. i think what you gotta do is drop javier lopez because not only is he injury plagued but also he has little to no trade value. You should look on your waivers for Brian McCann, Atlanta Braves or Russell Martin, Dodgers. McCann is very consistent but if the Dodgers stick with Martin even after Navarro comes back, he is gold. \n\nYou should try and trade Willis only if you get another star pitcher in return, if you cannot do this, then keep him on your bench until he shows signs of success. Willis will be traded away to another team so this will only boost his value soon. Bonds is just not a great fantasy player unless you count walks. he also has low trade value so youre gonna have to replace him with someone on waivers. As for colon, trade him already, for anything that is decent. I thought i told you to get rid of him. the angels suck.\nIts also time to stop the marshall project. I dropped him after todays terrible performance. Once Wood, Prior and Wade Miller are back hes not going to stay unless he pitches good from now on.

if you can get pujos or arod that'd be great but I doubt someone will trade one of them for what you are offering. What you want to get all depends on what you need. Do you have homerun hitters, sb threats, an RBI guy? What kind of stats does your league keep?

ok these guys are a little off.  Helton finally has people hitting behind him.  Howard has struggled a little.  This is his first full year, he will struggle at times.  He IS a stud, but helton is a super stud.  Helton will give you average, power, rbis and TONS of runs, remember he is like pujols minus 10 hrs.  He will hit .330 with 30 hrs and 45 doubles, with high on base.  TONS of Runs scored.  Do the trade unless it is a keeper league.  Helton is the man and he has some young studs batting behind him.  Howards bats 5th with noone behind him.  Helton is a much safer pick
