It's hard to believe you are in 8th place with that squad. The only possibibilty would be to get another front line SP or to upgrade at 3rd base a little although I believe Chavez will come around as well as ARam. It's still early in the season, but I like your team a lot and wouldn't tweak it too much, unless you get an unbelievable offer.
I am amazed that you are in 5th, although 8 team leagues usually are loaded, so maybe thats why it seems like your team would be better. For an 8 team league, carrying 2 SS could be detrimental, although I realize both Young and Furcal are good. But maybe package one with one of your SS for an upgrade somewhere else.
Actually, contrary to an earlier post, Wickman has not been half bad lately.
I agree...you could always beef up a little at 3B, although I like a.ram. M.Young is a stud, but is not doing as well as I had hoped. Maybe use Wickman and M.Young and A.Ram. to get a top shelf SS and 3B?
3B upgrade maybe? Nothing wrong with the bats.
Closer is the only spot I see a weakness. Although both of those guys have been ok this year. I don't expect that the rest of the year.
Good work.

i agree with this, except i'd recommend trading m young instead, as you'll need more than just crawford to contend in SBs. i think furcal's SBs make him more valuable to you than young.
