How do I improve?

Not sure what to think of the OF. Don't know what Sheff has left, and Pence/Victorino are just good. I'd like to have a top of the line OF. That said, the fact that you have Howard AND Fielder might make up for it, because I doubt anyone in your league has two different players with the potential to put up the power numbers of those two.

You could try pawning one of them off for a top of the line OF - e.g. Holliday, Beltran, Vlad. But, honestly, I think I'd take my chances with a weaker OF, and huge numbers from 1b and Util.

Thanks. I was thinking the same thing about the Outfield. The problem for me is, i tend to under-estimate or even sometimes over-estimate the trade value for most players. In your honest opinion, what kind of fielder, or fielders, can I get for either Howard or Fielder? What would either be worth to you? Are either one, Howard or Prince, worth more then a straight up trade for a top tier fielder?
Thanks for the help by the way!! It's definitly much needed..

Here are my max projections for your team. Don't trade Pence, Willingham, or Theriot. You won't get equal value back. The rest of your team can be traded if the price is right and you are looking to improve other areas. Obvious concern, speed. Damon, Theriot, Pence, and Victorino are your only speed players and I guarantee you will be in the bottom of the league in this category/lose it every week (depending on if you are in a roto or h2h league). I think you have very good power and runs but your squad won't hit for a great average. Personally, I'd trade Youkilis and JD Drew. Look for someone like Adam LaRoche and pitching help or speed. Hope that helps.
