Pretty good.  I say 8 out of 10.  I don't know what's your league settings but you guys seems ot play a lot of players.\n\nYou might want to get a better SS if you have someone to trade out.\n\nYour SPs could be a problem, basically, they don't draw wins.  Seattle and Nationals are bad.  Liriano is not starting and Twins are bad this year too.  I can see that you are focusing on SV, ERA and WHIP, but there is always a good chance the ERA and WHIP will burst with few pitching innings.  Just be careful.

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.

I'm going to go a slightly different route and choose an ideal team of current players based on their current ability and long-term potential.\n\nC: Joe Mauer, Twins\n1B: Albert Pujols, Cardinals\n2B: Chase Utley, Phillies\nSS: Michael Young, Rangers\n3B: David Wright, Mets\nLF: Miguel Cabrera, Marlins\nCF: Carl Crawford, Devil Rays\nRF: Vladimir Guerrero, Angels\nDH: Travis Hafner, Indians\n\nSP: Johan Santana, Twins\nSP: Jake Peavy, Padres\nSP: Roy Halladay, Blue Jays\nSP: Felix Hernandez, Mariners\nSP: Francisco Liriano, Twins\n\nRP: B. J. Ryan, Blue Jays\nRP: Bobby Jenks, White Sox\nRP: Francisco Rodriguez, Angels

I'd trade T. Hunter and C. Floyd for a premier colser. Maybe J. Isringhausen, B. Jenks, or M. Rivera or maybe even J. Papelbon or F. Rodriguez.\nDon't take the trade. C. Floyd is very good trade bait. While R. Cano isn't that good of trade bait. Look for J. Borowski(Flo-RP), S. Camp(TB-RP) he's goin to take over the closing job in TB cuz T. Walker is on the DL. I'd would alos look into trading J. WEstbrook or T. Armas for T. Hoffman or M. Gonzalez, closers that don't get that much oppurtunities but will give u a save here and there.\nAnd that Japenese guy for the Dodgers. He's good.

So it would basically be Reyes & Wells for Soriano & Dye? Personally I'd say no to that, Soriano gives you the power, speed and average #'s that fantasy leagues eat up, plus he's still eligible at 2B (presumably). If you're looking for a replacement for Dye, play it week to week and pick up a streaking player who may be facing some weaker competition then drop him when the hot streak wears off.

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.

good pitching\ni would drop patterson and alou. i would try to pickup either willingham (c/of) for the marlins, holliday (of) for the rockies, blake (3rd/of) for the indians, swisher (1st/of) for the athletics, or rios (of) for the blue jays.

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.

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.

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.

Alex Rios (Tor - OF)\nCasey Blake (Cle - 3B, OF)\nJoe Crede (CWS - 3B)\nCraig Wilson (Pit - 1B, OF)\n\n\nThose guys are doing pretty well this season, especially Rios and Blake. If either of those are available then pick them up and expect them to take a permament spot in your roster, as for Crede and Wilson they've cooled off after a pretty decent start. Don't expect them to stay on your team very long.

Hell yeah dude!!!! I noe u're thinkin that givin up Hafner and Damon is a little too much, but u get ALBERT PUJOLS!!! AND B. HALL!!!!!! DUDE, U R SOOOOO LUCKY!!! U EVEN ASKING????U'LL PUT N. SWISSER(OAK-1B,OF) IN THE OF AND PUT PUJOLS AT 1B AND PUT P. FIELDER AS THE UTIL CUZ HE TEARIN IT UP RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!\nim suprised he gave u a. pujols AND b. hall.\nbtw, dont listen to jondogg cuz he a big fatass lier, no1 would offer hafner, crede(the best 3rd baseman in the AL), and R. Sexson just for A. Otsuka.and even if some1 did, he's even stupider not 2 exept that trade. now tell me, woudl u listen to a stupid person???\nI greatly appreciate for picking me best answer several times. Don't drop B. Hall unless u have a good closer or OF on the market. Put B. Hall, K. Youkilis, and E. Santana on the trading block. Probably no1 will bite but, it wont hurt u.Maybe put W. Rodriguez on the block 2. And put C. Schilling in there immediatly!!! and also put E. Santana on there for V. Padilla and M. Mussina in there for D. Cabrera. Actually drop him.\nPick up C. Granderson(Det-OF) if he isn't taken already.\nHere are guys u want to drop:\nD. Cabrera(Bal-SP)\nV. Padilla(Tex-SP)\nD. Bush(Mil-SP)\nW. Rodriguez(Hou-SP)\nGuys that you can trade:\nT. Hunter(Min-OF)\nA. Kearns(Cin-OF)\nE. Santana(LAA-SP)\nK. Youkilis(Bos-1B,3B)\n\nYour needs:\nAtleast 1 more closer, a productive OF\nPossible trades:\nT. Hunter and E. Santana for J. Dye(CWS-OF)\nA. Kearns and K. Youkilis for A. Otsuka(Tex-RP)\nLook out for closers on the waivers. I had closer problems on both of my fantasy baseball teams.\nOn 1 team I only had B. Wagner and then I picked up A. Otsuka(Tex-RP) and M. Gonzalez(Pit-RP).On my other team I only had D. Turnbow(Mil-RP), then someone dropped B. Wickman(Cle-RP). And after that I picked up J. Borowski(Flo-RP). Good luck pal. \n\nps i think your team will do fine, a team can't be absolutely 100% perfect.Atleast u have B. Wagner.

I agree that your pitching is solid, but your offense may need some tweaking. That is a huge starting lineup though and depending on the number of teams in your league, it might not be too bad. \n\nIf you have 8 teams or less in your league, your offense needs an upgrade at most positions.
1124989
Well, I could help you if I knew what your team consisted of and what positions you needed to upgrade.  SOOO, since that is not possible, I'll throw some names out there from all positions.\n\nC--none, all the good catchers are probably rounded up, unless you can find Josh Willingham on the waiver wire.  He also is available for use in the outfield.  Been in a slump lately, but the last few days he has broken out of it.\n\n1B--Ben Broussard.  When he is at home against righties, he pretty much gets a hit every time (well over .400 with 9 homers).  The only problem with him is he sits the bench when a leftie starts, so you would have to pay close attention to match-up's with him.  Also, Prince Fielder? \n\n2B--Dan Uggla, Brian Roberts, Jose Castillo, in that order.  Surely one of those 3 are available.  Also, check for Jeff Kent.  He has been on the DL and is coming off on Tuesday.  He MAY have been dropped when he got hurt and should return to his normal form.  \n\n3B--Ryan Zimmerman or Freddy Sanchez.  Zimmerman is young and looks to be figuring out MLB pitching as the year goes on.  Sanchez leads the NL in batting, very quietly.  \n\nSS--David Eckstein and Freddy Sanchez.  Sanchez is available to play at SS, as well as 2B and 3B, so he is very versatile.  Eckstein gets you hits every night, but has no power.  SS is a very hard position to find players on the waiver wire.\n\nOF--Any outfielder who plays for the Texas Rangers.  As the summer heat in Dallas warms up, the more balls that will be flying into the stands and any of their outfielders can take care of that.  Mench, Wilkerson, Matthews Jr. most notably.  Jacque Jones is starting to figure out NL pitching and should be available.  Let's see....possible consider Randy Winn or Curtis Granderson as well.  \n\nYou mentioned nothing about pitching, so I'll stop there.  Hope this helps a bit.

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!

Not knowing your exact team makeup, ie number of  SP number of Closers or whether the league is Head to Head or rotissiere, I can't be certain.  However of those listed Saito is the best choice strictly on ability.  A good closer who should have the job for awhile makes him a worthwhile add.  If by some chance your league counts holds as well as saves, Zumaya would be the top choice.  If you need a SP more, I'm not particularly impressed with those you listed.  Shields might be OK, but is Scott Olsen of the Marlins available?  I imagine Josh Johnson also of Florida is gone, but I'd rank Olsen ahead of any of the guys you named, and fellow Marlin Ricky Nolasco might also be as good or better choice than Shields.  Another option is Cole Hamels.  He's been shaky last couple of starts, but I think he'll turn it around and be a very good fantasy SP.  In fact I'd add Olsen, Saito, and Hamels if all were available.  Do you have any bench hitters you can drop?  The bench isn't very important in most fantasy leagues.  I'm in first or contending in some leagues with no extra hitters.
