5X5 non-keeper roto league.

C-Posada

SS-Arod

While I am loaded w/power, I am lacking in speed. I would like to add another blue chip pitcher as well. Right now I am looking at dealing Rolen for a top 10 pitcher. I have offers out for Pedro, Schilling and Halladay.
Some notable available FAs are:
Batters
Floyd
B.Williams
M.Byrd
A.Cintron
R.Alomar
J.Hairston jr./B.Roberts
S.Burroughs
D.Roberts
Matos

Pitchers
AJ Burnett
Lieber
Eaton
J.Willams
Weaver
Riske
Wickman

I really would appreciate some help. Thanks guys. ;-)

Pick up Byrd and Roberts for speed.

replace cameron with roberts

burnitz will put up unreal power numbers at coors

I disagree...Replace Burnitz with Roberts. You already have enough power so Burnitz shouldn't be a big loss. Cameron will give him more steals than Burnitz and Klesko will swipe a few. Speed is your biggest need on offense so I would take Roberts for Burnitz.

i agree get roberts (and maybe even alex sanchez if hes out here or pick up harriston and trade kent for a top closer or starter

I am a little leary of dropping any of these guys for D.Roberts. I know that if healthy he is probably good for 50+ stolen bases but his batting average was .250 or something last year. My team is a little hard up for batting average as is. The guy that I don't care a whole lot about is Burnitz. He will be hard pressed to hit .250 even at Coors. I wouldn't drop a 20/20 guy like Cameron for Roberts. I am surprised that nobody said Floyd.

What about my pitching? Myers and Soriano were late picks for me so I wouldn't mind dropping either one.

Thanks for the advice so far guys.

Anyone else?
