WoW... talk about loading up Homer ...if they get into some low scoring games you're focked.

I have many of my favorite Tigers on my teams but they are all Pitchers...

You have a recipe for disaster if their bats go cold. I'd try and deal at least one of the big bats, maybe Papi.

Like your picthing staff alot, some young talent and a SP (Penny) that was once an ace, maybe he'll bounce back.... although your staff is lacking an "ace" .... maybe wheel Papi for an Ace

Thanks for replys guys

Something tells me that Pappi is going to have a monster season this year, but maybe thats because I am a Red Sox fan

Would it be worth Trading David Wright? I got him for the overall second pick.

a couple of things that you MUST do:

1- trade some hitters for RP's
2- trade some hitters for SP's
3- drop Lowell for a P.

you have all bench hitters.

For who??? Papelbon

Fock no, he's one of your only non Red Sox. I would honestly deal one of Youk, Pedroia, Papi or Ellsbury, thats a fantasy nightmare of they run into some hot pitching.

Before you make a deal bring it here.... I'll weigh in

[BoSoxTown]

I would trade Ellsbury, but who should I trade him for?

Also, should I trade Lee. Someone on my league seems to want him real bad.

Thanks for the help dude

[RowdyRed]

You shouldn't deal Lee or Wright. They are non-Red Sox. It is dangerous to have more than one hitter from the same team, but three can be catastrophic. You've got five. That is excessive. Dealing Ellsbury and Ortiz is not a bad idea. You can plug Pence and Bruce in their place and really not lose much, I don't think. You could probably land a real big ace for those two. Lincecum or Santana may follow if you trade those two in a package deal.

I've made the mistake before of having too many guys from one team. It didn't end well.

Yeah man, you have to trade some of your Sox. Believe me, I know how painful that is, I'm a Sox fan as well. I'd definitely keep Pedey and maybe Youk, but try and trade Ortiz and Ellsbury. Ortiz will be monster when he plays, but I always fear an injury to him especially since he's THE big bat in that lineup. Ellsbury is too hot and cold, though the SB's are nice.

[BoSoxTown]

We will start with Lowell. Who should i drop him for?

RP - Howell, J.P. TB is a free agent.

Should I pick him up? Or go for a SP?
