How have you been doing in the saves category vs. competition?

[rosenfer]

I've actually been winning saves most weeks. My categories I seem to be struggling in are runs, average, and ops.

Your early lineup speed guys have been underperforming. Don't be afraid to bench someone if they aren't cutting it. Your power guys are real good. Melky would be the perfect type player to trade for. Austin Jackson also would be a good addition for you and would be a lot easier to get than Melk. Check to see if Ben revere is on you WW. HIs runs/ave should stay pretty good.

Upside is weeks has been picking it up and really just one good speed guy will make a big diff. Good luck.

I actually just dealt Bj Upton for Jacoby Elsburry. Seems like the perfect player for what I need. Hopefully he will come back from the DL soon.

That's a damn steal if you got Ellsbury for Upton straight up. Great trade. Ellsbury will be back within two weeks and he'll put up big numbers with runs, steals, and should be decent with average.
