Your position players are fantastic. Great job there. You definitely need a good closer and after Santana, your starters fall off quite a bit. I would try to make the best deal involving a bench hitter or two and a starter or two for a better SP and RP. It may take a bit of work in a 10-team league but it can be done. You might also see if anyone is weak at 3B and float Ramirez.

But I should not trade Aramis Ramirez for a closer should I ... Is that a good deal, what if I could get someone like K-Rod for him ??

You should try and package Clement, Pettite, Preston Wilson, and Griffey in mixed combinations for KRod or someone like Guardado or Takatsu. Clement and Pettite are huge injury risks as well as Griffey and Wilson. Some people love those names so you could end up with a good reliever in return. Don't trade Ararmis Ramirez...he is on the verge of stardom.
