Help Save Me From Dropping Further!! WHIR

[malmstorm]

12 team, roto. OPS, Runs, RBI, HRs, Steals, Doubles/Triples. ERA, Wins - Losses, Ks, WHIP, Innings, Saves.

Offensively, I'm doing ok. I have a nice lead in HRs and OPS, but just in the middle of the pack in Runs and RBIs. Pitching had been strong, but I'm in need of Wins and Saves. Do I take the plunge and try to move Crawford or Cabrera for some pitching help? Maybe try to move Rios, Renteria, Hall or Lugo instead? I've taken a flyer on some younger pitching (Shields, Scott Olsen, Jeremy Sowers, etc...) only to see them struggle. (though Sowers can't be judged fairly thus far)

Chuckie James is a nice flyer. He won't get you tons of ks but he is polished like Glavine and reminds me a lot of him. Glavine started out doing pretty well getting you several wins. If you have a speciality keeper spot open hang onto him. Get rid of Hendrickson! Whos available on your FA list. I wouldn't trade Crawford unless the guy offered you half his team LOL. You need him. I would try to get someone for BIll hall and a package. Why aren't you starting Coco Crisp?? Package Brandon Webb with Hall and either Nady/Westbrook and get a front line ace and an of that will get you your loss of webb, and see if you can pick up a middle level buy low rbi producing ofer a la burrell or let me think OR go after huston street or jenks instead of an OF. Try to turn a Alexis Rios and Xavier Nady into a stud OF if you can.
Xavier Nad to your bench and Crisp to start!

[malmstorm]

Yeah, I had Crisp on the bench because he was moved down in the order. But, I have him back for next weeks scoring period, mainly because of Rios, Nady and Blake's injury concerns.

Thanks for your help. Will definately consider these options.

[malmstorm]

I worry about being able to move Rios, especially in light of his recent injury. He's not on the DL, but still may scare people off. No?
