I thought I was good...but only in 5th place...any advice???

[Hoya89]

I am currently in 5th place in a 12 team Yahoo league. I thought my team was good but they all seem to be off to slow starts (except Roberts and Wilkerson). I'm starting to think Beltran might not get the 40 steals since he only has 1 to date. Any advice would be appreciated!

One more thing...I think from reading the forums it might be a good idea to trade Roberts while he's hot.

Who would plug into my roster nicely for Roberts?

Good luck my friend. My suggestion is not to go for flavors of the week but stick to your guns, good players are good players, best to look at peripheral stats (k/9, obp, slg etc).

Dave Roberts a speed demon and good to grab him while healthy, sure.

I think he was still talking about Brian Roberts...and anyways, I think you should keep onto Brian Roberts as of now, unless you can get extremely good value for him.
