Did I give up too much in trade? Did I trade away too much pitching? (Garland I really didnt like,and mulder was having a good year but i dont trust him).

well i think your relievers will be fine..altho i think you should start looking at WW to help your U position...C and 1B could be problem areas later as rookies tend to hit a rookie wall...i believe your pitching will be ok tho.. just my opinion

[trev311]

looks like a solid team

If you've got 3 DL spots then you're fine, but if not, I'd drop Matsui as he wasn't doing that great before he got hurt, and I don't expect much from him if he makes it back for the last month of the season. I like the trades you made. I think they made your team better. You relievers are strong, but you really don't have a legit ace on your team. Some of those guys could turn into one, or occasionally perform like one, but it's always nice to have a guy that you can count on almost every start to give you a QS. Just my $.02.

I just want to know what league you play in where you can trade mulder and edmonds for Bay? I hope his excuse is he's a Cardinals fan...And you owned on your other trade...Loretta and Garland for Figgins? WOW....and what league has King Felix on the WW. Im guessing youre in a public league that isnt very competitve...Its nice for your chances to win, but it sounds boring...sorry

Yeah, we have 3 DL spots.
welkl its my 2nd year and im learning.
I agree about my 1b,(if Fielder tanks it, maybe Sexon comes around) and i want a top pitcher. I dont know what to do about that (my best chance is a couple of my lesser pitchers show some potential and I could trade them).


Try this on for size ... IM the Cardinal fan and he is from Pittsburgh.\


Felix was just dropped for Armas, because I guess he was sucking. His loss my gain.

anyway its a league from a site where we all visit.
Last year, my first year, I led for months...then lost the first game of playoffs and came in third.

Does my team need anything to win now or am I set?
