Any thoughts? If you leave a link to your team/post/trade, I will respond.

I like your lineup, but I'm not a huge fan of the trade that you made. I think that Soriano is great, but I'm not that high on any of the other guys you picked up. Nomar would have been nice to hang on to with Peralta in a slump and Nomar being en fuego. You've got two legit aces in Pedro and Webb, and you've got several other guys who will be consistently solid. It appears that you'll be punting saves, but I have no problem with that. You've also got some stars in the minors, for what it's worth, since it's always tough to predict who will make the cut at the next level.

i disagree denny, i think that that was a great trade for you, soriano is the real deal and can hit anywhere as i think we have seen and also Blalock is awesome... you have Howard who is more than adequate at 1B so i think that trade just gave you a lot more depth and i think that this year the league is proboly yours to lose though i would put in Rowand for Shelton becuase Shelton is not as good as hes hyped up to be and got off to a great start but tahts it... if you want to trade Rowand just let me know i could use him.... link for my team is in the siggy, thanks for the help

I love the depth you have in your pitching and your starters are solid. And, I'm actually in favor of the trades you made. Being in a cap league, salaries can kill you, but you have made it work so far. Congrats and good luck on the season.
