He took the Posada/Putz deal? Nice.

Pick up Travis Snider.

I agree there, even though your SP looks iffy, Duch is having some arm issues, so I would look at another pitcher, btw marcum doesnt plan to pitch this year

Help with mine?

thx for helping me.

The FA's are pretty slim. I would go with Snider or Guthrie.

Thanks to everyone for the help.

I was thinking Snyder or Guthrie(Balts ace - gulp?)
or possibly Lowell, who seems to be on a good comeback path from last years injuries. He just hit his first HR and I am unsure about Atkins as my everyday 3B?

Keep it coming and thanks again. ;-D

Snider is a good option but who else at 3B on waivers. I don't like Atkins or Wigginton at all.

agreed... Guthrie is opening day starter, but hasnt looked to be in the form of a true #1 thus far... i do agree you need some SP help so Guthrie would be my choice, if your confident in your pitching tho Snider is definitely a solid choice...

help me out...
