Thanks for your help.

There are some decent free agents available, but I don't think any are an upgrade from what you already have.

I'd go with Zimmerman over Reynolds (Encornacion is showing a solid approach this season, good things coming!), and Dukes over J.Upton very likely. I wouldn't touch the pitchers, they are just fine with me ;-D

Thx for the help

Forst off, MY GOD! that FA list looks like a decent 5x5 team.

Below is what I would do in a heartbeat.

Zimmerman for Reynolds (Hang onto Edwin though)
Konerko for Upton

I would hang with Sandoval, once he gains C elig., I would deal him.

I would take Maine over Floyd 10 ways from Sunday.

This si tough but I would bet a ton that pettitte will have more 5x5 value than mad max this year, I will leave that call for you since Scherzer is on everyone's "sweetheart list"

After these new adds, you might want to think about dealing some power for a few SB's, IMO.

Good luck to ya!

Thanks for the help with mine (sorry for the delayed response)

I like your pitching staff the way it is.

I would add Zimmerman & Dukes. I really like Dukes and especially now with Milledge getting called down. I think he is going to have a solid year.

I would drop Reynolds for Zimmerman. I think Zimmerman with stay health and have a better year. I would drop J. Upton for Dukes. Upton just doesn't seem to get it. He has a ton of talent but no plate discipline. I feel that Dukes with have a better year than Upton.

add Zimmerman for sure, he's a sure fire upgrade over Edwin Encarnacion.

Thanks for your help on mine, I really do appreciate it. I would drop Reynolds and add Zimmerman. Also, I would seriously consider dropping Upton for Fukudome or Guzman (I agree with your analysis of Hardy) To me, its just really frustrating to see Upton batting like 8th and playing very sparingly. If you believe they will move him up in the batting order eventually, then keep him. I'm just really dissapointed in him. Meanwhile, Fukudome is tearing it up and is hitting 2nd in a pretty damn potent lineup.

Your Pitching staff looks good to me, but I would definitley keep an eye on Maine, Kawakami, Davies and pettite.

Thanks again, brother! ;-D
