heres the squad what do you think? C- Geovany Soto 1B- James Loney 2B- Brian Roberts 3B- Garrett Atkins SS- Michael Young OF- Carl Crawford OF- Conor Jackson OF- Lastings Milledge U- Pablo Sandoval Reserves: Travis Ishikawa, Chone Figgins, Ryan Theriot, Danial Murphy, Gordon Beckham
SP- Ryan Dempster SP- Daisuke Matsuzaka SP- Manny Parra SP- Anthony Reyes SP- Jonathan Sanchez RP- Jonathan Papelbon Reserves: Tevor Cahill, Kelvim Escobar, Tommy Hanson
some guys im thinking about adding: BATS: Emmanuel Burriss, Emilio Bonifacio, Gary Sheffield, Willy Taveras, Garret Anderson, Scott Rolen, Chris Duncan ARMS: Ben Sheets (someone has to give him a chance right?), Doug Davis, Joel Pineiro, Ross Ohlendorf, Ricky Romero
Definitely looking to add Sheffield for Beckham, but odds are im too far down the waiver line to have a shot at him, so looking for a couple other options, maybe Taveras for SB (but then again i have Figgins for that), Bonifacio (but how real will this kid be?), Burriss is he gonna produce enough to stay in the lineup?
I'd package Soto/Sjax for a small OF upgrade (maybe to Rios or Markakis) then move Sandoval to catcher. With that free spot I'd add Tavares.
If its not a keeper dump Beckham for Sheffield. Since you have Murphy that will bea nice small handcuff. YOu could use the power as well. He's looked solid if he can stay healthy.
You don't really need Tavares though you could use some speed. Why not deal Figgins to someone for a power bat. I'd take a Dunn for him if you can get that done.
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!

you have that much confidence in Sandoval? i think hes a great young player thats why i took him, but to deal a huge Soto and start Sandoval you think? it is a Keeper league tho keep 5 year to year so odds are unless Gordon absolutely goes CRAZY he won't be a keeper this year...
I picked up Danny Murphy yesterday. Alot of doubles in Citi will bat 2nd. His manager loves him. Better than Millage. Sorry, I didn't notice you had Murphy. Are Spilboughs or Teahan availble ?

ok agreed, but that wasn't even the question, i already own Murphy, was asking if any of the other players i listed were worth a shot over say Gordon Beckham...
I would stay pat. If you are looking for another arm, I would pick up Joel Pineiro or Ross Ohlendorf. I really do not like any of the hitters available, not even sheffield. Steals seam useless in your scoring system, so I would stay away from taveras.
90% of my posts are from complaining about my team
Duncan is a bit better than Sheffield at this point, but neither are must-adds and you have a deep enough bench to keep Gordon there in case he is called up to the Show. None of that pitching is enticing at all.
