I know Im 1st base overloaded but some guys in my league love Tex and are willing to trade for him. So overall how do you think I did??
Your offense is fantastic. Like you said, you are very deep at 1B. I would consider trading some extra offense to strengthen your pitching. Your pitching has a lot of potential, but there are a lot of question marks, primarily injury plagued pitchers (Pedro, Liriano, etc). Good team though, I like your OF a lot!
Your first base is absolutely stacked. Trade Tex before he has his usual early slump, since his value is the highest it will be until June/July. Tex should nab you a topflight pitcher, or that and a nother solid starter if hes packaged with someone else. Great offense.

I'm thinking about dealing away Tex for Brandon Webb. Good/Bad idea??
First off, you have quite a nice, balanced team.
As for the trade, I would be a little hesitant to do it straight up but it wouldn't be bad at all. I also think you need to try and find another reliever but since your benches aren't that deep you should be able to find someone decent on the WW.
See if you can offer some kind of package with Tex to get Webb first as he might be the best way to help you get another RP or another reliable bat.
the only thing i think you need is a top flight closer, and if you trade tex you should get a top flight closer, i like the steals with weeks, wright and crawford, if they all stay healthy you should get around 110-120 from those 3, so that is a solid base there and you have plenty of power, really good team just look for that top flight closer then insert loney in as your 1B
Reyes and guerrero, the two most blessed players in the league, not to mention the most fun to watch
You'll need more saves, and I'd value Tex over Webb for sure.
You're stacked at 1B already, and trading Tex pre-season is essentially selling high on him because you can always try to buy low on him after his first slump.
solid team, but i would look to trade crawford for a guy who can hit for a little more power while still providing a few Sbs, a guy like grady siezemore or curtis granderson, while also targeting a decent SP too id try and trade crawford and kennedy for gradnerson/siezemore and a decent starter
