OK, I have never had my team rated. I am in a 10 team H2H Yahoo League with the following categories for statistics:
H, HR, RBI, R, BB, SB, CS, AVG., W, L, SV, K, BB, ERA, WHIP, HLD

I am currently in 3rd place and only 2 games out of first. I have been in first but never for two weeks in a row and never by mor than 2 games.

Here is my team, please tell me what I can do to succeed.

C- Jason Varitek
1B- Derek Lee
2B- Alfonso Soriano
3B- Aramis Ramirez
SS- Edgar Renteria and Carlos Guillen
RF- Miguel Cabrerra
CF- Jim Edmonds
LF- Carlos Lee
Util- Hideki Matsui
DL- Javy Lopez and Chipper Jones

SP- Jake Peavy, Jon Garland, Carl Pavano, Wade Miller, Odalis Perez, Oliver Perez, Carlos Silva, Mark Redman

RP- B.J. Ryan, Joe Nathan, Ryan Dempster, Juan Rincon, Jesse Crain

Any help will be greatly appreciated and if you leave me a link I will respond to your to the best of my ability.

Thanks

I really like your team. The only thing you might want to do is upgrade at pitching. Pavano and Miller could be replaced and probably help you.

great offense, mediocre starting staff. i think you can use more pitching, and you'll have the trading chips to get more pitching once chipper and javy return. until then, i can't think of any trades really.

i like the manny for cabrera trade.

i like the 2nd trade too.

i like the 3rd trade as well.

i like the 4th trade.

i also like the 5th trade.

individually i like all your trades, but overall i think it made your team hitting heavy and light on starting pitching. it's too bad you had to give up beckett in that 4th trade, but that was a trade you had to do based on pure value, so i understand.

anyway, my only advice is that once your injured players return, trade some hitters for an elite starter.

Yeah - think your team is pretty well balanced. As per the above responses I think Starting pitching is probably where you could improve. How about :

a)Cashing in on C Lee. I doubt he is going to keep this up - could be proved wrong though.

b)Wating for Guillen to come back and trade a SS for an SP perhaps with garland to seriously upgrade.

I would combine Edmonds and Redman for a better SP. SP is where you need your help. Redman is a sell high guy right now and Edmonds seems to continue producing despite his age and injuries.
