that's quite a good team

other than the fact that roger clemens is...retired (unless he change his mind again) i would stick with your line up for a while and see how things go

rate mine please

Granderson is available. Should I pick him up and drop an outfielder? If so, Who should I drop.

I picked up Granderson for Hermida and I still think Clemens will come out of retirement. C R. Barajas (Tex - C)

ouch....would have dropped Feliz for Granderson instead. i think Hermida is a keeper

[hohoyoyoyo]

i would keep hermida and waive either jason lane or feliz

but granderson is a good player

[wrpd136]

I have already dropped Feliz in exchange for 2B Brian Roberts from Baltimore (pending him clearing waivers Saturday) I could drop Lane and pick Hermida back up.

[TheNSFBB]

It's a nice start. You're seem to have an above average and balanced team.

You should have dropped Feliz instead of Hermida. Since you had the 1 or 2 pick (assuming based on Pujols' presence) and correspondingly low waiver priority your league should not let you get Roberts. (If you do it, though, that's great for you.) Drop Feliz for Hermida (or if you did get Roberts then Jorge Sosa).

If Jorge is still with your team, get him out of there for a CL or stud middle reliever/prospective closer. Sosa will just get in the way- you have high IP guys in Oswalt, Willis, Buerhle, and Garcia and need some RP. Try Burgos since he tentatively has KC's job. Or Fernando Cabrera, Linebrink, or Shields if you want some quality innings.

[wrpd136]

Valverde and Cabrera are both on waivers now. Should I drop Sosa and pick up one (which one). I think Valverde for the save factor but what do you think?

[wrpd136]

And what are the chances of Clemens playing later this year. Am I totally stupid for holding onto him or should I just drop him for RP.
