You say H2H?
Why do you have 5 guys that can get you 50 steals each?
The speed guys, in my eyes, are overvalued. I don't think Crawford is a 2nd round pick, I don't think Reyes is a 1st round pick(nor do I Hanley), and Ichiro is another one who's overrated. Trade at least 2 of these guys, because winning SB 15-3 still only gets you one point.
Look to trade Pena along with a speed guy, theres bound to be someone in the league who values him highly. Look at his career- never even had HALF of the HRs he had last year in his 13 year career or however long it is. He's an above average 1B at best.
Trade for a powerhitting 1B and OF. Im sure there are a few people in the league who would love to have speed.
Don't forget, Braun will get you 15 SBs too and you have Victorino on the bench. The only speed guy on your team I would keep is Soriano and maybe Reyes(because their really isn't much of an option at SS..unless your like me and are very HIGH on tulowitzki).
I like your pitchers, but I would trade for a veteran who's going to be middle of the road just in case of an injury(Ted Lilly/Gil Meche type). Just gives you something decent to fall back on in case one of those injury prone guys, or if John Smoltz breaks his 70 year old hip.
