Pretty good team. Could maybe use one more bat, and if that Harden injury turns out to be serious, you'll want another starter.

I agre with the last guy, pretty good team but if Harden goes down your Sp will be in trouble. id see if I could aquire another SP.

Help me out

I dont see the logic in the Pettite for Rios trade. Your OF was fine, and you were already thin on SP as it was. Still a pretty decent team though.

No... I traded Rios for Pettite... I knew I needed more depth at SP so I parted with Rios for Pettite, it doesn't reflect on my roster until Saturday.

OH SWEET! Then forget everything I said, that was a great move for your roster.

Thanks. I picked Mench up right after his 2-rbi Seattle game because I wanted to drop Bradley and had a "hunch"... 6 HRs and 18 more RBI later I'm smiling.

I know how streaky Mench can be and has been over the years so I looked into trading him and got Crawford/Lugo for Mench/Hanley. I wanted to upgrade in the SB department and he had no SS with Lugo on the DL and the #1 WW pick so I figured he didn't want to waste it (which is why I threw in Hanley for Lugo) and he accepted! (Trade pending 'til Sunday)

Thoughts?

I like the Pettitte deal... I would look to upgrade SS in our league Hanley has been killing this girls team because of all his K's. But you traded him for Lugo but with an injury. So you have to hope for him to be healthy soon. Great job getting Crawford stolen imo. Still wouldn't mind another SP for your team if possible for cheap. Watch Drew also could need to fill his OF spot at some point because of injury.
