So my team in an 11-team rotisserie league is having a decent season. After starting in the cellar thanks to horrid pitching, my hitters brought me into contention, and my pitching is finally starting to come around. I had to give up on saves thanks to Eric Gagne and Manny Corpas (traded Trevor Hoffman), but we count holds, so it isn't a disaster. My pitching rotation has drastically improved after I drafted a lot of busts and steadily built from free agency; Kazmir and Lester are the only two starters that have been on my roster for the entire year. My ERA has been dropping steadily for a while now, so I expect to gain a few more points there, and possibly in WHIP as well.
So what should I do to try and give my team a chance at winning the championship? Is there anyone on my team I should look to trade? I can try to trade one of my home runs producers to improve elsewhere because I have a pretty sizable lead in that category. I haven't done a ton of trades this year because usually when trades are done people get ripped off, and I'm pretty clueless when it comes to the value of players in trades.
