If I were you, I would trade Garrett Atkins and Jermaine Dye for a better 3b, because Dye is playing rele well right now and he won't keep it up, and Atkins is a nobody.\n\nDrop Chin Ming Ding Wing Fing Ling cos he friggen sux...there's gotta be a hot pitcher out there on free agency that you could pick up, especially if ur league scores holds as a category. I just picked up T. Coffey from the Reds and he has an outstanding ERA and 5 holds already.\n\nYour team is good enough to make the playoffs, but you need to make a few moves to win the league.

Yes a few. First thing you do, put david Wright in for Glaus, don't know why you haven't already. Next, put bay in for Gomes or Ichiro, you're call. Next, you want to trade away Glaus Swisher and Gomes or Ichiro For some pitching and a hitter in return. You're hitting is great but you're pitching needs work, so you should trade right now. You're elivers are getting you no where so get someone good. But the team looks good really

You'd might want to get rid of Fisher and Harpring in favor of similar players, since you seem to be in a small-ish (9-10 team) league. \nOtherwise, Paul and Camby were good picks and West was a great free agent pick up. I wouldn't want to go against you.

Dont go for guys like Brandon Phillips or earlier in the year Jason Smith because they r not guys who will put up great numbers for long.I'd put Clemens on the bench.that's what i did because i have him. u have 2 many guys on the bench!!!!Chris Burke should not be the Util player. Put someone like Alou or atleast Rios at Util. Espiacially take advantage of Rios being hot right now!!!!! DO NOT BENCH HIM!!!!!!!\nC Javy Lopez-I know, u want 2 trade him because he's not producing right now, but I have him for a reason, he'll start hitting.(He better!)\n1B-Paul Konerko-Good. Exept for David Ortiz, Jim Thome, and Albert Pujols, he the best.\n2B-Brandon Phillips-Get a Jose Vidro or Josh Barfield, even those guys r goin 2 b better.\nSS-Orlando Cabrera-Your choice, I'd trade him in a package deal with someone like Jason Marquis $ Joe Crede and get a guy like Kevin Mench.\n3B-Joe Crede-Trade\nKent and Overbay keep\nJermaine Dye and Chad Tracy might want 2 hit the bench. Alu and Rios workin.\nUtil-Burke-Drop\nYour Bench is VERY good.(for a bench)\nOnce Lee and Griffey start playin, ull be hard 2 beat.\nEspiacially with that good pitching!

is there an unlimited amount of moves?...if there is, starting pitching is disposable...you should trade for closers, & switch out starting pitching daily...that way, you should win 3 out of the 5 pitching categories (wins, k's, saves)...closers with high value are Papelbon & Dempster because they can alternate between SP, RP, & P...if you're looking for stolen bases, i would try to pick up Lugo, Suzuki, Figgins...however, if you don't want to compromise HR, RBI's, etc., maybe you can get guys like J. Bay, Abreu, Beltran...hope this helps

Nice, nice line-up!  Your pretty much set in every position.  If you were going to make any changes that I would start with Ben Gordon (due to his inconsistency), Carmelo Anthony (all he does is score and has limited value in other fantasy categories), and Nenad Kristic.\n\nIf your team is this good, I'm curious to see how the line-up's of the other nine teams are.  But if I was just to base my decision on the current lineup, I don't see why you can't win.\n\nHope this helps.

Good Question:\n\nNL (starters):\nC: Johnny Estrada: 6HR, 45RBI, .315AVG\n1B: Pujols: no need for numbers\n2B: Chase Utley\nSS: Jose Reyes: tablesetter; he scares me.\n3B: D. Wright: his catch early season was sick...and he can hit.\nOF #1: Berkman\nOF#2: Beltran\nOF#3: Carlos Lee\nNL (2nd teamers)\nC: David Ross: 100 less AB's to McCann better numbers in everything except AVG.\n1B: Nomar\n2B: Dan Uggla\nSS: Freddy Sanchez\n3B: Miguel Cabrera: big numbers, small amount of protection in that lineup.\nOF#1: Andruw Jones\nOF#2: Soriano\nOF#3: Dunn: This is only because I really wanted to see him in the homerun derby. Holliday deserves it.\n\nSP: Brandon Webb\n\nAL starters: \n\nC: Mauer\n1B: Ortiz (Playing in NL park)\n2B: Least deserving all star postion on both leagues. I'll take Jose Lopez.\nSS: Tejada\n3B: A-Rod\nOF#1: Dye\nOF#2: Wells\nOF#3: Ramirez\n\nSP: Liriano: He has 1/2 the amount of starts as other pitcher and all of his numbers are top 10 or better. Plus if you're on the AL team and you have a shot at World Series Home field advantage do you really want Rogers 3.65+ ERA on the mound? Most of the NL has hit off of him several times. Liriano hasn't faced but a few of the NL hitters and most of them have seen him less than 5 times.\nAL Second stringers\nC: Ramon Hernandez: 15HR 61RBI--how many catchers have ever put up these numbers before all-star break?\n1B: Haffner or Thome? Gotta go Thome because of teams overall record.\n2B: Brian Roberts: if it was up to me Lopez would be my only true 2B.\nSS: Jeter: Glue that has held that team together after all of their injuries\n3B: Crede: I would take similiar RBI's and better defense compared to Glaus.\nOF#1: Crawford: I love extremely fast guys who hit for power and high average\nOF#2: Rios\nOF#3: Vlad: His defense puts him over Mags\n\n*****If the fans (including myself) continue to vote Paul laaaaaduca into the all-star game I say fans should wave their right to decide the starters. Secondly; one rep from each team should be abolished.

A 18-team league!  Wow.  BTW, people cannot see your FA pool because they are not in your league.\n\nJason Smith could be just a hype.  He is not a everyday starter yet.  be careful.\n\nYou should be able to find someone better than Rocco Baldelli.  And no exact timetable for his return yet.\n\nJ.J. Hardy is ok, but as a bench/utility he is too weak.  Another 1B/OF would be better.\n\nYour pitchers are OK, but not specially good (maybe because of the 18-team).  Guys like Hendrickson, Verlander, Pineiro, they are not in good teams and won't help you with Win, ERA, WHIP, and even K.  You may want to get some relievers instead.

Well, there's 162 games in a season and your team looks stacked to me.  Delgado is warming up, Pudge started out well, Sheffield always takes a little time, Manny is getting hot....Pitching looks well rounded.  I would let it ride to be honest.  You'll win soon and I don't think you'll stop.

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!

I'd take the second one.  Some decent power there with Dawson, Cepeda, and Killebrew, while the first group is more contact hitters for average.  Starting pitching not quite as good as the first group, but still with Marichal, Niekro, and Feller, a decent staff.  No real reliever though.
1011519
Offense is decent.\n\nPitching however is lacking. Good relief pitchers but your starting pitching is quite weak. They are all good young arms, but as a result of being young, they arent the most dependable, and dont put up the best stats.\n\nTips:\n(a) search the waiver wire for guys. Possibly find a replacement for gonzalez.\n(b) try and get another closer to help your staff a bit.

For a league that has 20 teams and having the last pick in those 20 teams, (NOTE: how dwight howard can slide all the way to pick 20 is beyond me.) I'd say your team is pretty good. You got 3 legit stars in Dwight, Wally (who's putting up alot of points in BOS, I know, their my team) and McGrady. As long as McGrady stays healthy and Dwight keeps on putting up 20pts and 15reb nightly, I say your team is very good for a league with 20 teams in it.

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.

First I'd check for a C upgrade. Lopez isn't bad, but I picked up Ramon Hernandez today and Willingham recently on another team. It never hurts to look. While Mueller is hot now, he's not a long term answer. You really should be getting some SBs out of this position. Check out Josh Barfield of SD or Castillo of Pittsburgh. Your team is vitually bereft of speed. SPs are weak. I'd drop Weaver and look at Bannister of the Mets.Trade Clement now before he reverts to his normal form. Andruw Jones supplies great HR?RBIs, but he's a drain on team batting average. I would be inclined to offer Thome or Jones for an SP. Keep your eyes on the free agents in your league. Use your DL slot. Always good to keep one guy on the DL, so if another goes on the DL, you can just switch them. I think your team is mid-pack talent wise. You need a couple front of the order guys for runs and SBs. Maybe Granderson or Stewart are available. Maybe package Thome or Jones plus Clement. Get an SP with era/whip and a .300+ hitter who'll replace some of the HRs you traded.
