Your offense is really really good. My Only objection is Bill Mueller, He's doing alright right now, but i don`t think he`s the real deal.. consider trading him eventually

Your pitching staff is also amazingly good. You have 3 aces and a really good closing pitcher.

You seem to be set. Good luck with your season

[Theory_of_Power]

Yeah, no kidding........ten teams drafted and you got that kind of stud pitching throughout your whole staff?!?! Pretty amazing, and agree with the Mueller thing too.

Thanks guys. What do you suggest I do with Mueller, who should I try and trade for or pick up? Anybody else have any opinions on my team?

[Mercury Rising]

well, first question i have for you (before you try a trade) is who is available on the waiver/free agent wire?

[BravesFan180]

The available free agents that might be worth anything are:

Barfield
Kennedy
Phillips
Counsell
Polanco
Uggla
Smith
Lopez
Aurilia
Durham
Lowell

[Mercury Rising]

there are some decent names on that list like barfield, lopez, polanco, kennedy. i've followed bill mueller since he starting playing for the red sox until he left the team as a free agent to sign with the dodgers. i know it bothered the gm (epstein) that he had to let mueller walk to obtain josh beckett from the marlins (who had to include lowell in the deal or the pending deal would be nullified).
one thing i know is that mueller (regardless of his age) is a very consistent ballplayer and works very hard. you know the his average is going to be around .300 for the year with maybe 11 HR. he's a decent fielder and is not injury plagued. keep in mind that he is a former batting champ.
after looking at the information, look at the players available to compare. josh barfield has an upside and has already swiped 6 bases this season. kennedy is playing well but there have been some question marks regarding his health this season. polanco has a decent core of players batting around him with ordonez, shelton, granderson, etc.
is there any one of thos players on that free agent list that look appealing to you for the long term while comparing muellers stats for the past 3 seasons?

[BravesFan180]

Besides Mueller, I also like or could handle going with Barfield or Polanco. I actually drafted Polanco and dropped him for Mueller early because he was not really helping me.

[BravesFan180]

But I am still not sure which of the 3 to go with or try and trade for someone else?

I think Bill Mueller is very underrated.
He is a very consistent batter who hits .300.
I would hold onto him.
Already today he doubled and scored 2 RBIs.
He doesn't disappoint.
