overall i think my team is solid, but im looking to improve - any opinions or players i should look to trade or trade for would be awesome. thanks

This is a pretty good team. If I were you, I'd try to lock up saves with a third reliever. No one special, just trade one of your ok pitchers (lackey, clement, or haren) for an ok reliever (Orvella, Dempster, etc...). In my experience, 3 closers is a noticable advantage over 2.

thanks - i'll try like eaton for dempster. the guy really likes eaton for some reason..

any other opinions? please keep 'em coming!

Looks pretty solid to me, you've got a nice balance of speed and power. I too would try to deal a mid-range starter for a mid-range closer, but other than that I don't think you need to really do anything.

thanks for the advice, i'll try to get another closer.

also, i'm looking for one more power bat, would u trade say: blanton and dye for magglio ordonez? or not worth it?

[sixer03fan]

how about dye and blanton for carl crawford? that would clinch me in sb's, or gomes and blanton for crawford? do either help my team, or do they hurt my power numbesr too much??? my team isn't the most powerful as it is..
