Ok so here's the deal, your infield is solid (just watch for Chipper always injured,) however your outfield and starting pitching is suspect. Wells-Schafer-Jones don't cut it, I think you can upgrade by trading either Votto or Ortiz. They are both good trade bait and I would look to pickup a solid top-tier outfielder for either one of them. As for your pitching, I might be the only one, but I do not like Tim Lincecum. I know last season he was a phenom, but I hated his crazy delivery and I never bought into the hype. He has only started 2 games this season but I would try and trade him for either Roy Halladay or a guy like Dan Haren+a solid hitter. I don't like Cliff Lee either, he is on a bad team and expect major regression from last seasons "fluke," numbers. Volquez is a major question mark as well, I like Brett Myers and I think he will have a solid season. I have Dice-K on my team as well and I regret selecting him, for my sake and yours I hope he can put together a decent season. Your closers are very good and you should set with saves.
