Falling from 1st to 3rd in competitve league, Help! WHIR!

[trawgdoor]

League is a 8 Team H2H 5x5, very competitive. I've been in 1st place all season until now where I have fallen down to 3rd quickly. I am only 8 games out, but do not want to fall farther. Any advice for here on out. Lots in interest in my league for Soriano, Hafner, Papelbon, and Contreras.

Well coming up soon you will be facing a problem. Once Lee is back (soon, right?) you will have 2 1B and Hafner in your Util spot. I think I would trade Hafner or D. Lee (only Lee if you can get full healthy D Lee value for him) for a boppin OF like Berkman or someone like that. You could even package one of them with Baldelli if you want to get super crazy.

Pull a deal like this and your fairly weak OF is upgraded and you still have howard at 1B with Hafner/Lee in you util spot.

Oh and if you feel like it you might try dealing a bench player for a better catcher.
