1) I think you should trade either Renteria, Guillen, or Beltre. Guillen's too good to have on your bench, and Renteria's playing well. Since Guillen is gonna be 3B eligible soon, you can play him there also if you'd rather trade Beltre. If you do decide to trade Beltre then, then I'd say drop O-Cab cause you don't really need 3 SS's

2) Try to trade for another top end SP. Zambrano, Sheets, and CC are good but your pitching drops off from there. Bannister's hot but I dont think he's gonna be reliable all season. Neither will Livan, Wainwright, Ervin, or probably Glavine.

3) You have 4 closers but all of them are really shaky. You could also try trading for a reliable closer, cause I think you're gonna be seeing a lot of blown saves.

4) The rest of your team looks solid, I'd start Pierzynski for now but when he cools down (which he will), go ahead and put Mauer in. Your OF looks pretty good. I'd platoon Nady, Young, and Ludwick depending on the matchup until Soriano comes back. Otherwise, I think you're gonna catch up in RBI's, especially when Howard and Vlad heat up and you'll get a lot of help in runs when Soriano comes back
