Geez... How many players are on the DL.  First off drop Garciaparra and Hermida. You have Pujols so what’s the use of Jacobs? Looks like you have some solid relievers and a few decent starters.  Keep KROD, Jennings, Seo, Verlander, Capuano, Sheets, Lidge, Sanchez.  Place Hendrickson as DL. Lowry is also still hurt.  I’m not familiar with “Balldelli…” You can try to use Wright, Johnson, Ortiz and anyone else I forgot as a potential trade.

I would keep Lee and Sheffield.\n\nTejada's numbers have the best chances of going down based upon the rest of that lineup and team chemistry.\n\nAlthough, if you drop Sheffield, because OF has so much depth, you may be able to get him back and minimal cost or a good draft location (depending on the draft type).\n\nI think you are set with any of the three.

pitchers:  matt cain of the giants if he wins a starting job.  doug davis of the brewers is having an excellent spring. scott baker of the twins is compared favorably to brad radke.  and of course everyone knows about felix hernandez (mariners) and francisco liriano (twins)... but have you heard of jon papelbon (red sox)?  for some surprise relief help, look to neal cotts (white sox), JJ putz (mariners), or jesse crain (twins).\n\nbatters:  catchers: kenji johjima (mariners) or javier valentin (reds).  1st base: casey kotchman (angels) or conor jackson (diamondbacks).  2nd base: dan uggla (marlins) or ian kinsler (rangers). shortstop:  not a real sleeper, but JJ hardy (brewers).  3rd base: ryan zimmerman (nationals) or edwin encarnacion (reds).   outfield:  jeremy hermida (marlins), jason kubel (twins), and delmon young (devil rays).\n\nhave fun and good luck!

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.

Burnett will soon go on the DL.  Replace him with a pitcher with good strikeout potential.  Bedard or Cabrera of Baltimore, Escobar of the Angels, Oliver Perez or Justin Verlander are some good ones.  Drop Padilla NOW.  A bad pitcher pitching in a bad pitching park will hurt you.  Wakefield could also be dropped if needed.  Your offense isn't bad.  Granderson of Detroit might be a good replacement for Casey.  He has the ability to steal 20 or more bases and hit 20 or more home runs.  And I would start Freel over Drew.

Honestly .... I would:\n\n1) Drop Matsui - He is done for the year - cut your losses\n\n2) Try to trade Derek Lee for someone of equal value because he is on DL and of no use to you right now\n\n3) Find a 2B that is getting more playing time than Josh Barfield - granted he had a short hot streak - but nothing big is expected of him - get Michael Cuddyer if available - he is going to have a big year\n\n4) Drop Xavier Nady - Try and pick up someone with more potential - he is a prospect that hasn't quite blossomed yet\n\n5) Get Wandy Rodriguez off your bench and into a starting role - he is on a HOT HOT streak being 5-0 dont let it go to waste\n\n6) Get Scott Rolen off the bench and start him - that's a no brainer\n\n7) Use your two P slots for SP instead of RP as in such a big league starters are bound to give you more usable stats - such as IP, W, K, ERA, WHIP\n\nThe rest is up to you! Good Luck!

(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.

I gotta agree, Joe Crede is having a heck of a year. I also think Travis Hafner should be starting(sorry, I'm a Cleveland fan).and I think Grady Sizemore should make it. Jermaine Dye is having a solid year, and deserves consideration. And what is up with Jason Varitek leading at catcher. I think everyone who voted for him should have their ballot thrown out, and their heads sewn to the carpet. Lets not forget about Tom Glavine. He should be collecting social security by now, instead he is leading the Majors in wins. I just Hope Guillen makes fair selections, and doesnt get 3/4 of his starting lineup in the game, the way Joe Torre has done in the past. Good luck Sox fans, its too late(again) for my dear (pathetic) Tribe to be thinking postseason.

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.

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

Well, I'll assume you can't drop Brown or Dampier, cuz you need the C spot.  I've seen Nocioni get dropped in two H2H leagues, and couldn't be bothered to pick him up because, while he's okay across the board, he doesn't do anything for you specifically.  \nIf you're playing points or roto, I'd lean more toward dropping Atkins, Walton, or Hill.  Chucky may getcha a trey or two as a backup to Stoudamire, but Jack's getting starters minutes now; and, Atkins just pi$$ed Fratello off in the Knicks game.  \nWalton's numbers may be inflated due to injuries to Mihm and Kwame in LA.  And, I think Ariza's back in Orlando now, which may cut into Hill's minutes a little, even if he stays healthy.\n\nPau may only getcha 50 games, some of which'll be awful rusty (see Amare Stoudamire), but he'll compliment a DHoward-Brand-Pierce-MJames team nicely.\n\n-Regards

I'd take a flyer on Martin or Napoli, the rookies who are putting up betters numbers than any of the others.  Ride Napoli while he's hot.  The thing about cathchers is you can always pick up an average one from the wire, so unles syou are coming up to a pick-up deadline, or you have a limit in your league, just pick the hot hand.   A month ago that was Ross, but he seems to have cooled off, and I didn't expect him to last.   I personally think Martin will continue to hit for average, but Naoli will cool off.    I've got Johjima and Willingham, who I think are good bets, better than the rest, but Napoli and Martin are doing better now, so why not take them?  After those I'd take Estrada.

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.

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.

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.

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

I disagree if anything you can afford to trade speed.  Weeks, Granderson and Sizemore are all SB threats.  You could move one for some power, or drop Wilson for a more productive OF. Maybe trade Howard for a more experienced bat as well. I love your pitching.  Don't think I'd drop anybody when Liriano finally moves into rotation.
