Thanks for you help.

I'd target Rollins bc he usually has a strong 2nd half and his low avg might throw some people off.

Maybe Dye and Eckstein. you can still grab Ibanez off FA right?

Why don't you just grab Ocab for Eckstein? So you don't have to trade for SS.

How did you get Howard and Wright?

How did you get Howard and Wright?

Follow me: I drafted Howard, and then traded N. Lowry and Cl. Lee (2 pitchers) for J Thome before the season started. I then traded Howard for Soriano pretty much straight up (also pre-season, when every1 was down on Soriano). Then, I trade Thome back for Howard in a multiplayer trade. Then I traded ARod and Glavine for Wright and Papelbon.

That would be a good trade, your outfiled is weak.

Dynasty League? Pick up a Rookie like Drew or Upton. Very nice team.
