If I was in last place... here's what I'd do

It's time to take gambles...

Hold on to your veteran $ studs, but be ready to deal or drop anybody else and focus on picking up "available" players when possible. If you've got a hot rookie that has a lot of "hype" around him, trade him... These guys usually cool off... Hot rookies rarely get hotter. {Papelbon and Jered Weaver excluded)

(1) Pick up veteran studs who've been cold. Marcus Giles, Andy Pettite and plenty of others come to mind. Look at the 2006 rankings vs. actual rankings now, there's lof of underperforming guys. Grab Mike Shelton, maybe he'll heat up.

(2) Take a bet on rookies about to come up, Kendrick, Weaver... Or rookies that started hot than cooled off, Heremida, etc...

(3) Take a chance on the ANgels pitchers... despite their records, guys like Escobar, Lackey, Santana and Jeff (yes Jeff) Weaver have been pitching good but they've had putrid run support and defense. if the ANgels get some bats in trades, They could rack up wins fast.

Look for good closers on underperforming teams... they often get traded to a good team needing a closer... Mike Gonzalez comes to mind.

If SHeffield is coming back this year, try and get him. It's his free agent year, he'll be motivated to rake in what time has.

This is kinda what I was thinking a few minutes ago when I started a poll on what the Giants should do with Bonds.

Yeah, Mike Shelton got me too.

geez.... Mike Chris whatever.... And since my position was mentioned, I'm first in my 8 year-running keeper league and 2nd in a yahoo league (I pay almost no attention too) that I joined basically just for live draft practice, so I do have some clue about FBB.

Just trying to help the newbies out and I get slammed for forgetting some guys first name?

[Zito is God]

I think this is common sense for anyone playing FBB longer then one season, you do this at all times, not just when you're last.
