1 Game out of first place, what can be done?

[Estarr]

I am one game out of First place and am looking to shore up some of my holes, what are my weak spots and who could I potentially drop or trade to improve my team?

We start 7 pitchers

PITCHERS
M Rivera
Run. Hernandez
J Schmidt
J Washburn
T Gordon
M Lincoln
S Chacon
A Pettitte
C Lidle
C-Hui Tsao
E Gagne

HITTERS

Soriano-2B
Mora-SS
Lowell-3B
Hunter-OF
S. Green-OF
P. Wilson-OF
S. Stewart -U

Nick Johnson-1B
M. Alou-OF

Your offense is solid. All that I would do there for now is put Stewart on the bench and put Alou in the UTIL spot. As for your SP's, they are weak. You have an ace who is hurt and question marks all over the place after that. When you say "start 7", does that include RP's as well? If that is the case, lucky for you that you only need 5 more pitchers after Rivera and Gagne.

You got a solid hitting staff. You may want to upgrade your pitching a little with trades or pick up.

watch the waiver wire carefully. maybe you could do a two for one trade...

I had to give up Giambi just to get Rivera. The league I'm in is extremely competitive, so pitching is hard to come by.

Thanks for the help
