Recognizing I need some SB and another decent SP, I have a trade proposal in the works - Atkins/Cano for Ichiro/Liriano or Polanco/Liriano. He has Gollardo too which I'm trying to work on as well.

Feedback is much appreciated, thanks!

For a 12-team, 10th pick, I think you did pretty well - Hamilton and Sizemore are great picks, I think your bats are fine, and I agree you need another decent SP and SB help.

I would look at a 1-1 trade for Gallardo, maybe Atkins-Gallardo or something like that. If that owner takes Atkins/Cano for Ichiro/Liriano, take that, you're definitely getting the better half of that trade. That being said, IMO, SB's are relatively cheap to find on waivers, so your more pressing need is another SP.

Thanks for the feedback We'll see how it goes w/ the trade offers and waiver wire once the season starts.

You need SP right away! Anthony Reyes is more of a #5 not a #2 SP. I'd try to trade Ortiz or drop Thome for the best, young SP on the board.

If someone accepts the Atkins/Cano for Ichiro/Liriano trade, accept it right away - then please send me the info on how to join your league!

Just traded Ortiz for James Shields. The Atkins/Cano for Ichiro/Liriano trade was so close to going through but the other guy backed out at the very last second because he got cold feet. I ended up dropping Scot Shields for Jordan Zimmermann and Juan Cruz for Manny Corpas as well. Think I'm done for all my preseason tinkering for now now that I've secured a good second SP. Thanks again everyone!
