add Chris Ray and Brett Anderson... dump Blanton and Penny, both i think are useless and will do nothing but hurt your team, would keep an eye on Reynolds to, if he drops his K rate a little bit more i would also pick him up... but for sure Ray and Anderson then maybe look to trade one of your Closers (Gregg or Motte) with one of your SP to upgrade your SP...

help me out...

I like Ray - he will have the O's closing job soon. I'd drop Penny or Blanton.

As for the hitters, I like Morales the best, good potential/pop there.
People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.

thanks for your help

the only guy that seems to be worth a pick-up is Ray over Blanton

Personally, i think i like Stewart best out of those hitters, he has 2b/3b eligibility and should put up good power numbers for a 2b. Out of the pitchers Chris Ray is your best bet because he's likely to have the closing job pretty soon.

I like Morales and Mark Reynolds, I think Morales will have a nice season and should give you some homers while still posting a high batting average.
