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.

lol don't cut hamels....he's pitching TODAY.  your pitching is top notch....i don't see anywhere you can improve there.\n\nif you had to improve somewhere, it would be your hitting...howard, dunn, ortiz for power...suzuki, lopez for speed....looks solid to me.  if anything, i'd say you need another SB threat.  corey patterson is someone that might be available who has stolen a ton of bases.\n\nbut dam...the guy in 1st must have one hell of a team if you are in second...

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.

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.

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.

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.

1. keep him...ditch lofton\n2. bay???\n3. utley of course\n4. keep him on DL...he's not hurting your team sitting there.\n5. drop wright...he had a few good starts but now is back to his old self.\n6. i say put pods in for lofton.\n7. wright, tomko, mulder have to go...never know what you are going to get from them.  there's gotta be some FA pitchers that you can pick up that are better than them.

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.

First order of business is the bullpen.  They have blown so many situations for the starters.  Until you get bullpen help whether it be via trade or farm system there isn't much hope.  I think the it is the achilles heel of the team.  You have two solid startes in Smoltz and Hudson, while Ramirez has been flashing signs of goodness.  Starters are not their weakness and neither is the lineup, it is the pen!!!

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.

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.

halladay and santana. give wood a couple of starts before using him in ur lineup.

I would do it. You have plenty of power in your line-up. The defending A.L. batting champ will help with the average, and score you some runs as well.

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.
