I kept Nathan , since I think it's a good idea to have a top closer in round 8. Furcal is a little risky, but I feel he's worth the risk.

You'll regret not keeping Ludwick.

Thanks for the input so far, i'm really torn between Ethier,Furcal,Hernandez and Nathan as to which two to keep.

For sure locks are Tex,Holliday,Kemp,Victorino,Ludwick,Haren


We start 3 OF but have 2 Util spots



On a side note i was offered Fielder/Jobo for Holliday/Hernandez but felt i would be giving up too much, should i revisit this trade and take it or make a counteroffer, problem is who should i offer. I am looking mostly at Fielder and can do a 2 for 1 deal.

I like this trade in a h2h league, give me Fielder & Joba, that would make your locks:
Fielder
Tex
Kemp
Victorino
Ludwig
Haren
Joba

with your last coming from
Ethier....I think he needs Manny in the line-up to excel, I think Manny returns - do you.
Furcal....does he come back full time - asset is speed which is minimized in h2h.
Nathan...will an average of 2 IN, 1.5 SVs and 2 Ks a week do it for you in the pitching cats.
