How Does This Team Look to YOU?

I'm currently in 6th place, but think I have a decent shot at making up ground the rest of the way. What do you think, and what are some potential moves I should be looking at? Some Sell Highs, drops, etc.

C - Posada
1B - Huff
2B - Weeks
SS - Young
3B - ARod
OF - Pierre
OF - Gomes
OF - Crawford
UTIL - Castillo

Wilkerson
Hall
C Guillen

SP - Pedro
SP - Carpenter
RP - C Cordero
RP - Benitez
P - Coffey
P - Otsuka
P - Ray

Verlander
Bush
Hamels
Sheets

Looks like you might be a little short in the power dept. How many teams in the league? I'm guessing Castillo is Jose with Pit, rather than Luis with Min.

If possible, trade J. Castillo while he's hot, and maybe throw in one of your 5 closers, for a more proven power hitter at your Util spot. Good luck.

Yeah, I'm short on power, and yeah, it's Jose.

I'm currently 8th out of 10 in both HR and RBI. Top 5 in all of the other categories. I'll work on moving Castillo while he is hot.

Any other suggestions??

Yeah i agree power is your most pressing need. Any yeah trading a closer or 2 will help. Dont know if you'll get much for jose though.

I also think your SP takes a huge drop after Chris & Pedro. If this is a one year league I would think of trading a Verlander(sell high now. Not saying his not a good prospect but the Question is as a rook can we expect consistant #s this year? Will Det fold soon?) & Hamel(who everyone wanted a piece of. The next great thing! But this year Id say no to him dominating.)

Bush(He's a waste. Theres probable better FAs. JWeaver?)

i also think BA is a little sketchy. Hopefully JPierre's #s will continue to climb. Huff will pick it up soon but while hes in your lineup now he'll kill your BA (Ditto for playing Wilkerson, thou he'll give u more Hrs right now).

Id love to see your best FAs hitters and SPs. U have atleast 2 cuttable players, including Bush & THall(Dont need 2 catchers)


Just being brutally honest!

Thanks for the response.

It's Bill Hall, not Toby. So that's why he's even on the roster

The best available FA/Waivers are Todd Helton (who I have a claim in for), Ryan Zimmerman, and Brian Giles for hitters. Pitching, it's looking like Nate Robertson, Marquis, Padilla, Burnett, and Rodney.

What kind of trades or waiver moves should I look to make now?
