Just looking for opinions, I have way too many back up players, and I need to make some moves.

C Pudge
1B Ortiz
2B T. Wigginton
3B A-Ram
SS O. Cabby
OF B. Hawpe
OF X Nady
OF W. Pena
OF T Hunter
Util Glaus
Util Teixeira
Bench:
Hillenbrand, J. Dye, Nomah

DL: B Roberts

Pitching:
SP Pettitte
SP W. Rodriquez (off FA, doing well)
RP B. Ryan
RP F Rodney
P Oswalt
P Beckett (traded Hanley Ramirez for him, sold high)
P E Santana

Bench Keith Foulke, T Armas (has been hot lately, want to use him but haven't found many spots, maybe use him instead of Pettitte when Pettitte has a hard match up?)

DL: Harden


My hitting has been fine it seems like, but pitching is hurting. What do you guys suggest? I need A-Ram and Tex to heat up, I traded both of them when they were doing real bad, they have definitely improved since then. Will help in return!

Yahoo H2H 10 Teams
Stats: R, H, HR, RBI, SB, BB, FPCT, AVG, OPS

Pitch: W, L, SV, HR, K, TB, ERA, WHIP, K/9

i think you could probably use Glaus as some pretty good trade bait...he's got good value and you have good enough players to fill in from the bench. you lose some with Glaus but not to much with Hillenbrand and the others.

[yamar2001]

You think move Glaus for a pitcher and use Nomah/Hillenbrand to replace Glaus? My OF is a bit crappy.... thanks for the input

[lachlanoddy]

I would say that you could use Glaus as good trade bait for SP, or a solid closer (if such a thing exists!). Maybe wait until Tex heats up and offer one of your STUD 1B.....?

Thanks

for helping me.

also something you might consider is trading o cabby for a solid #2 guy and playing nosemar @ ss and holding onto glaus.

[yamar2001]

Yeah, I have a hard time letting go of Cabby because I had just traded Hanley, but is Nomah is going to continue to play like this, well then Cabby can go. Do I need another pitcher though? I figured with the addition of Beckett my numbers for pitching should get alot better. Also still have Harden on the D/L, and have been without him much of this season. I figure I should just wait for him to come back, try to stay afloat until then, and keep a close eye on the waiver wire for pitching.

I think Wigs could go, and I think you should definately be playing Dye over Pena.

Help with mine?

I do not like your outfield one bit, the only guy thatz good is X.Nady who will breakout this year... U really need to get another solid outfielder by using your bench as bait maybe nomah or even T.GLaus for a solid outfielder

[yamar2001]

My outfield is definitely kind of crappy, but my hitting really hasn't been too much of a problem thus far. RBIs and homeruns are solid, and Dye has been good on his on streaks. I just don't see much of a point in trading Glaus for a player of the same caliber that plays a different position, but I am new to this so open to new ideas. I would like to work Nomar in more, and he could replace Glaus, so from that point of view I can understand your point. I could use some improvement on batting average, so maybe someone like Ichiro for Glaus would work.
Thanks for the ideas!

I think you should definately be playing Dye over Pena.

I second that.

What's on your wire? I don't see much reason to be holding onto Keith Foulke.

I'd consider selling high on W. Rodriquez, maybe pakaged with one of your bench players.
