Honestly, your offense needs a lot of help. I would consider trading pedro or Schmidt

[Sakrafyce]

Which players should I try and target though to improve the team?

[Galileo]

I think I agree...trade one of your stud pictures for a big bat (Sheffield, M. Ramirez, etc) if you can. Your starting pitching staff was nicely selected!

[Sakrafyce]

Im still learning this so bare with me, im curious. When ya'll say my offense is weak, which categories do I need to try and improve? Homeruns? RBIs? alot? lol

If you weren't happy drafting the team, welcome to fanatsy baseball, where you're almost never happy while drafting!

Probably need some O-fense. I'd say average, this is where Manny would be ideal. Maybe package a stud SP w/ Castilla and use Hillenbrand. Vinny's ave. won't help.

One last piece maybe to keep a close eye on closers. You have one unsigned, one coming off injury from early last year and a wild card w/ Looped. Starters look excellent

Yeah I agree, definitely trade one of those aces for another bat. Infielder or an outfielder, you're not really strong in either spot. Think I'd deal Kerry Wood or Jason Schmidt. I wouldn't discourage you from dealing Pedro, either, you really do have a weak offense.
