I don't know the schedule, but you should check for some favorable matchups. I'm pretty sure there is at least one upcoming game where Cuddyer will have better matchup than Sanchez or a player Sanchez could fill in for.

As far as adds and drops go, I doubt there is anything out there that would help you against the Number 1 team.

Definately think Cuddyer could have better matchups than F. Sanchez. Sanchez helps you in like 2 categories, while Cuddyer can help you out in more than 2.

mauer is back soon so that should be a huge boost for your team if you decide to play him at Util and keep martin at C. those are the only two catchers i would feel comfortable playing at Util

Well I just made a trade that was accepted. I'm getting Holliday and Rollins for Martin, Hardy, and Pence. I offered an extra so I could make room for Mauer when he comes back. I hope this doesn't bite me in the butt later on.

The other thing to remember is, provided more than one team makes your playoffs, to not go overboard on winning this week. Staying close enough to pounce in the playoffs may be a strategy v. going overboard to take first place now.

Ok, I've changed up my team a bit. Do y'all think this looks a little better than before?
