Konerko or Derek Lee.  1B for 1B, with similar stats.  If you don't give a 1B, you will have too many.

I would take Lopez and Soriano. Lopez is better than Greene and Soriano and Lee are about equal. Lee is a little better. Soriano is a great fantasy guy (HR's, runs, rbi's, sb, and a decent average). Lee can get you most of those things too. It really comes down to who you would prefer at SS. I would probably take Lopez.

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.

Based on your team now I would jump at that deal. Nowitzki is a top 5 fantasy player and you should be able to pick up respectable backups on the free agent wire to fill the 2 spots you will leave open. Nowwitzki, Pierce and Howard as your starting forwards with Okur at center gives you easily the best front line in your league and I think keeping your #1 ranking is more likely if you make the deal. \n\n Good luck!

Hey, Rick--\n\nI think it's worth a shot. I really think that your pitching can stand up to losing Lowry (although you do need some more wins), and from what I know of your team you should have enough infielders to lose Nomar. Getting a guy like Vlad is worth it, in my book. You've got a good situation here, because you have a guy who is hot for one of your players, so you need to take advantage of this.\n\nRegarding Nomar, I'm glad you stuck with him this long... but at the same time, I think it would be a good thing to trade him now before he gets dinged up again. Good luck!\n\nEDIT: Also, if you do pick up a backup SS off the wire, go for Freddy Sanchez. A guy like that deserves a place in a 14-team league.

very good team but i would drop prior and pickup peavy, young, kasmir, or oswalt.\n edmonds shoulder is going to need surgery at the end of the year so his numbers will be down so i would try to get hawpe(of) or sullivan for colorado or willingham (of/c) for florida.\ndrop castillo for lopez(2nd/ss) for the reds\ndrop c. guillen for young(ss) of the rangers

(1) You have way too many guys injured on your team. Lopez, Alou, Lee, Griffey, Street. \n\nADVICE: cut most of them off your team in search of healthier and better guys. Only guy you might want to keep is lee, but he isnt due back anytime soon. Cut Street as i doubt he will keep his role as closer.\n\n(2) "Iffy" Players: Rios, Jenkins, Clemens, Rodriguez, etc.\n\nADVICE: i think you are trying to bank on too many players having breakout seasons. Rios is a decent player but is not an everyday player. Clemens is just Clemens. This is your true weak spot of the team.\n\n***In all, you could use some trades. Ask around for trade offers and see what happens. Also, how your team is doing also depends on how many other teams are in the league and style of play.

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.

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.

You're getting Vlad, Kearns, and Varitek who are good. I'm not too familiar with Ramirez and Moyer.  Vlad is better than Bay but Kearns isn't quite as good as Holliday. I would do it.  Also fantasy baseball is only a year long so who cares about the young kids get the old guys who produce good numbers

Very good team, good enough to clinch top 3 seeds in playoff.\n\nYour team kind of lacks speed and runs.  You might want to trade Kevin Mench.  I know how good he is, but he is batting sixth.  Get someone batting first or second to get you some SBs and Rs.

if willingham is available i would drop javy lopez. i just picked up shawn grees because he is playing to his potential. hermida is good. willingham would give you a back up catcher. he also can be placed in the outfield slot.\ni dropped pierre because he just seems unable to get on base. keep green drop pierre and pick up hermida.

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.

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

Jump on this trade ASAP. Corey Patterson is a dog; look at his OBP for his career and you'll see. Liriano is a good prospect, but pitching prosects usually need 3 years to develop. Hermida is the real deal and should be a contender for NL rookie of the year. Estes is a borderline fantasy player.

I would definately grab Billingsley. He's one of the top pitching prospects in LA since Fernando Valenzuela. He has a 96 MPH fastball, a sick sider and a good curveball. He's got tremendous strikeout potential and is on a solid Dodger's club that will provide wins.\n\nOf course, he's only 21, and he could be erratic early in his career, much like Cole Hamels, but his upside is definately well worth the risk. \n\nAs for who to drop, Gil Meche has been surprisingly good, throwing a complete game his last time out, so I would definately hold onto him. Between Davis and Snell, either of them could be dropped. They are both decent pitchers, with potential to be very good but so far they havent shown it, so you can live without either of them. \n\nUm... I think I answered this same question like an hour ago.

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.
