where do you think i need improvement? I know the pen is weak, but i am 10th in saves and really may just punt the whole category. What type of moves do you think i should make to improve my team. Thanks

[firemanx]

a little help guys i will help in return. leave a link

[bronxxbomber]

hmmm...Looks like you also need some help in whip and wins. I'd try and find another SP and a few rp's on waivers who can help in ratios.

i have completly punted saves so where should i try to go from here?

[Citizen Erased]

thanks for the thoughts on my team...here are some responses

i noted at the top that it is an 8x8 H2H league. Non-keeper.

no one in my league will bite on the "hot" players, especially shelton. and since i'm in boston, we all have seen arroyo pitch a lot, and none of these guys believe he can keep it up.

as far as your team goes...the moves you made between posts vastly improved your team. i was going to say you needed OF help, but you seemed to have taken care of that.

i'm a newbie to fantasy, so don't really know keeper strategy. but, one guy you might keep an eye on is ian kinsler. he should be back in 2 weeks max and IMHO is an upgrade over polanco because of his youth. kinsler, at least when he went on the DL, had just earned the leadoff spot too, and while detroit is hitting well, texas is even better, in a better hitters park.

also, if you are really committed to punting saves, then putz might have value to people in your league. he and soriano are part of a closer by committee thing in seattle, so see if whoever has soriano might be interested in putz as well. maybe putz + rowand/griffey/gonzalez for a mid-upper level SP?

just my 2 cents...i may be an idiot.

thanks for the opinion anyone else?

[Double Play Ball]

upgrade secons and short, maybe use abreau in that deal. try to get sum nice MR

[bosoxrock34]

being a keeper i like weeks and polanco so i wouldnt worry about 2nd but since it is a keeper u are old in the outfield alot of those guys miss alot of games garrett griffey gonzo are all older not as much garrett but he is injury machine. also look to upgrade your sp

[firemanx]

guys if you could check the roster update as i made some moves and weekes is gone. Thanks for all the thaughts

IF is your weakest link, not 1B. I would look to upgrade the IF at the expense of the OF, since you're pretty strong there.
