I posted my team a couple weeks back and the general consesus was that my Pitching was sick, but that I needed some more offense.
So I traded away /dropped: Rolen, Ordonez, Fielder, Teahen, Rivera, Zito
I recieved/added: Soriano, Teixeira, Hamilton, Kendrick, A. Gonzalez, Putz
So what do you think about my current team? Do you see any weaknesses? Keep in mind that we change our line-ups weekly. Thanks!!

I like your team a lot. It looks to me like you did a good job of "buying low" on a bunch of slow starters this year (Soriano, Tex, Putz) with your moves. As they start to play better, your team is going to be really tough to beat. I'm a little worried about Cordero this season in general. Obviously, you would be selling low, so you may want to wait until he has a few good outings before trying to package him with a hitter. Of course, that is just my personal preference with Cordero.

I'm looking to package Hamilton w/ Cordero for a better closer. With Weekly line-up changes, I see little reason why I need 5 outfielders.
Another option is to wait until Kendrick gets off the DL and package either him or Upton along with Cordero..... who knows? if I wait, over the next month Cordero may get more save opportunites or a stud closer may rise from the FA pool (i.e. Broxton, Zumaya).
