Beofr and After.... WHIR

[TheBadLt]

I made a few trades along the way... I traded Pierre and Johima for Willington and Dunn ( I liked the multi positions and needed a bit more powere with Texeira not providing any)... I also traded Coco and Penny (who I had just claimed off of waivers) for C. Wilson and Peavey... i aquired Phillips, Tomko off of waivers... To top it all off I'm in dead last... but making a move for the long haul I think i'm in pretty good shape... Do you think I should try to trade Texeira for someone like A. Soriano or Figgins???
Ended with...
C Willingham(c/of)
1B Texeira
2B Phillips
SS Furcal
3B A Ramirez
IF Ensberg
OF Ichiro, Maggs, Dunn(1b.of),
Utility Nevin
Bench C.Wilson(1b/OF), C Ausmus, 3b Zimmerman 2B Uggla

SP's Mulder, Suppan, Peavey,Tomko, Marshall, Patterson
Bullpen Baez, Lidge, Burgos, Benitez, Gagne,Wheeler

I really like your team after the trades, Willingham will have a much better season than Johjima and Dunn is going to hit a lot of blasts. Your team could use a little SB support but you're covered everywhere else. Peavy is by far the best pitcher on your staff, when Patterson comes back you should be set but I would look for a 3rd "reliable" hurler to go along with Peavy and Patterson.

Hang in there you have a good team that should come around soon.

Are Loretta or Ellis still available in FA? They are some good 2B solutions, especially Loretta batting in front of Manny and Big Papi...

Keep Teixeira unless you get an offer that blows you away or helps you out a lot. I wouldn't deal him for just Figgins or Soriano.

I have ichiro, Furcal, and Phillips.. I'm pretty good with SB... I also kinda liked mulder as a 3.. providing Patterson comes back to form... i'm getting killed in K's
