Right now
This is where I am:

(runs)12 (HR)10 (rbi)10.5 (SB)4.5 (avg)11
Pitching:

(wins)6.5 (saves)12 (k)9 (era)7 (WHIP)8

On the WW/FA
Todd helton, Eric Chavez, Iguchi, Kearns, Conor Jackson, Kaz Matsui, Luis Gonzales

Pitchers:
Prior, Dotel, Wood, F. Garcia, Mulder, Scot Shields, Scott Francis, Padilla, Chuck James, Clay Hensley, Turnbow, Ramo nOritz, Jason Frasor, Aardsma, Tim Wakefield among Others.

I feel like I have good hitting though, need to work on SP

So questions:

1. Konerko is struggling. I have him on the bench. What should I do with him? I don't feel like I should drop him.
2. I'm only like 4 or 5 behind on SB, but Crawford, lugo, rollins, rios, and company aren't stealing. Should I be patient? Or should I get a faster guy?
3. Should I try to get better starting pitching? They're all pretty good guys, and with RJ back soon (AL->NL means good stats, ala Roger Clemens), I feel like I'm pretty safe. But it's definitely the weakest part of my team.
4.H. Matsui on the DL and taking up space, drop him?

And any other comments?

Think you critiqued yourself pretty well...i'll echo that you need help in your SP category...you look solid at RP, possibly have trade bait there for a nice SP...i'd explore that option. Think a trade + good pickup, both for SP's will have you in a much better position...

Try moving Konerko for an upgrade at SP.

I agree with trying to move Konerko for a starting Pitcher. Or Berkman for that matter. Berkman and Konerko's numbers have been very similar the past 3 seasons.

Personally I think Konerko will have a better year this year so I would move Berkman for a top tier pitcher.

Thanks for help with mine.
