I've been thinking about trading one of my many OF's for another pitcher, something like Alou for John Patterson or Javier Vasquez. If you have any ideas of trades I could propose, that'd be great.

Two things I would do are play Giambi until he gives you a reason to bench him, and try to trade Garland - his value cannot get higher, and there's probably someone in your league who'll buy high on him. Maybe package him with an OF for 2 pitchers... all depends on other teams.

[bloodface]

is Duke still available in your league? There are some good pitchers sitting on FA if you are ok with dumping guys.

[Philly Pride]

Duke's available. Others I've considered adding are Kris Benson and Paul Byrd. The question is, who do I drop for them?
