Great forward squad - might wanna move a guy to get another good d-man - the d could be a bit better. Robidas aint so hot.

Best option is to not to start L. Betts. That's because Carolina Run D is really strong. So you start the other two & hope for the best. Bad RBs you have, by the way. Much rather have dependable RBs instead of dependable WRs.

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.

No....for a number of reasons......losing Mark Eaton for 2-3 months really hurt...he was becoming the best defenseman they had, and they already miss his shot blocking and penalty killing abilities. They really have no one to take his spot, and Brooks Orpik is being slowly brought back after his hand surgery. Sergei Gonchar has struggled since Eaton was hurt (9 points - 2G,7A, +1 before the injury;3 points - 3A,-3 after it). They don't have the necessary toughness yet, their face-off success is low, they take too many lazy penalties, Marc-Andre Fleury has been somewhat inconsistent (although he'd played several very good games) and their power play has been struggling. Interestingly, Sidney Crosby is not used to kill penalties at this time (thereby leaving their best offensive threat  to languish on the bench for extended periods of time). While Malkin has been shown to be the real deal, his supporting cast has struggled...John LeClare and Mark Recchi two proven scorers in past years) haven't been exactly red hot, and neither has Colby Armstrong. Michel Therrien has tried numeros combinations to get more goals, and he still hasn't been satisfied with the results. They do have a promising team, however, so that while they won't make the playoffs this year, with proper draft choices and trades, they could be a real challenger for the cup in the near-future.

I would have to give you a 8.  Your defenses are probably killing you.  But, the rest of your players should be able to offset the beating your D/ST's are getting.  \nI'm very, very disappointed with Pittsburg and Tampa Bay this year...especially Pittsburg.  I thought they would be better at this point of the season than they are, and many picked both of these teams to be in the playoffs...not in contention for a top 10 draft pick.

1) If you want to drop one for another skill position go ahead.  You have two pretty good kickers and they are usually a little easier to come by.\n\n2) Atlanata added DE John Abraham from the Jets this offseason and S Lawyer Milloy both great pickups for an already good defence.  You might wanna put that Seattle defence on the pine for awhile.\n\n3) Rod Smith should become the #2 receiver behind Javon Walker so his numbers will probly go down to the level of an inconsistent Jerry Porter.  You can platoon but i don't think you will be happy with the production or lack of.  Holt and Fitzgerald are absolutely solid though so I wouldn't worry too much.\n\n4) Both of these running backs are looking to go nowhere but up in Fantasy production.  Reuben Droughens had a good year last year and is surrounded by a better team and Foster will get the bulk of the carries and should have his breakout year if he can stay healthy.\n\n5)  If you want to I would go for Pollard out of that list just because of the addition of Mike Martz to detroits formely lack luster offense.\n\nHope this helps.

Changes are needed, focusing TOP DOWN; New GM was a good place to start, but, until further changes in upper management is made, it doesn't look like things will change all that much. \n\nOn the ice, I liked the goaltenders; I think that Raycroft was off, mostly due to contract stuff at the beginning of the year, and he never got on track.  Toivanen looked good, until he got hurt.  I have no idea what to think about Thomas; he came out of nowhere, and was impressive.  But was it an illusion? We'll see; as he is signed for a few years.  If all 3 goalies round into form, one could be used in a trade.\n\nThe defense showed some promise; young defensemen (Alberts, Jurcina) began to look OK after some coaching by Ray Bourque.  Need some help there, especially mobile defensemen who can move the puck thru the neutral zone.  More players like Brad Stuart, less players like Hal Gill.  Gill has a place, but as a 5th or 6th defensemen, not so much ice time.\n\nBiggest need will be with the forwards; need more scoring punch to help Bergeron, Sturm and Boyes.  Hopefully Axelsson will come back.

This team is good..but, not unbeatable.\n\nWho is on your team?  What are the matchups next week?  Who is injured?  Are there opportunities for huge games available on the waiver wire?  When you answer these questions, you give your team its best shot at victory.\n\nFinally, don't agonize over fantasy football...so much is out of your control and they only play once a week.

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

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!

It's not too bad but it could be better.\n\nI can't tell you who to pick up without knowing who is available on your leagues waiver list.\n\nYour goalies are good but Nabakov doesn't play a lot and Hasek will get hurt at some point.\n\nSome good players on the way up are Michalek and Bernier of SJ and Kunitz,Getzlaf,Perry and Penner of Anaheim.\n\nYour D men are your weakest.\nGet carle from SJ if you can and also Weber from Nash should be available and will be a star in the near future.\n\nDrop K. Johnsson,Jovo or Pitkanen in that order if you can.\n\nI don't like  Zherdev or Tkachuk but they are not real bad.\n\nA good rookie forward is Semin of Wash and a C is Kopitar of LA

Well I'm also currently playing yahoo fantasy baseball and I'm loving it. But about your team, I'd give it a C- for a few reasons. The main reason is you've taken on some major headache players. What I mean by that is most of your team is made up of players that have been plagued with injuries their whole career and could easily all go down this year at least once. You also have a few problems with your pitching staff. Oswalt and Smoltz are solid and are wonderful players to have on your team. but wakefield bonderman and mussina are really no good. Mussina is alright but should not be a #3 starter. Cordero is a great reliever that will get alot of saves, but cordero wont get you many points if your other relievers are farnsworth and wakefield. I suggest you either trade for another reliver or get one that is probably in the free agent market, like Jonathon Papelbon. If Armando Benitex goes down again pick up Tim Worrel. And now to your hitters. AJ Pierzinski in my opinion is waaaaay over rated. He's is no a good hitter who will lower your average alot. Carlos Delgado is a great first baseman, but with Konerko as a backup, I suggest you trade Delgado for a good outfielder which you should be able to get seeing as Delgado is just slightly over rated. Roberts is a great player who should not be traded unless you are offered a spectacular deal, which is likely not to happen because roberts is very under rated. Jones is a great third baseman that you shouldn't have traded, espcially because you can't you Thome because you already have two good first baseman, You should have kept Jones. But now that you have Thome, you should trade him while he's hot and his stock is up. Brad Wilkerson is an OK player that will produce OK numbers, but don't expect anything more out of him. Edmonds is good but his greatest asset, his fielding, doesn't even matter in fantasy baseball. Garret Anderson is OK and sure produce some okay numbers. I'd also say that you're bench is good, except for Preston wilson who is only good for homers which is the one thing you don't need. You should try to trade him for some speed. Try to get a player like Rickie Weeks for him. Hope I could halp, Michael.

yah its only 3 days dont sweat over it. u dont need to pull of a big deal just for 3 days hanley is in a big slump aurilia is not starting as much anymore because of ryan freel and khalils average is very low the best out of the 3 would be hanley because he can swipe bags and if u want to pull off a huge deal offer wiggington who cooled off since his hot start and the injured gagne try trading for derrek lee i live in chicago and heard hes coming back in the next week and the person that owns him might not know that

A lot of things depend upon the answer you get.\n\nWhat are the categories?\nIs it a roto league? \nPoints league? Head to Head?\n\nHow many goalies are on your roster? \nAlways keep at least one backup in case of injury.\n\nFor the sake of argument, keep starting your primary goalies and see how your team is progressing. There's a lot of time left in hockey, 5 months. Don't make rash decisions too early.

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.
