Your offense is solid. Phillips has to turn it around sometime right? He's too talented. You have nice balance with your offensive players.
Your top 3 pitchers definitely have the sexy names, but I'm not sold on Peavy's consistency. Webb is always a beast, but the injury makes me just a little worried. I like Felix and the rest of your staff is pretty good. See if you can get a pitcher like Billingsley or someone similar.
I agree with the last poster, I would look to get another pitcher such as Billingsley, Wainwright, or Bedard. I would look to move Webb (you never know the lasting effects of an injury,) and get one of the aforementioned pitchers+a hitter.
A 10 team league is generally not too deep, so I would be willing to bet that there are some chips left on the table in the free agent pool. I would tend to agree that you could take a risk shipping Webb for a top tier pitcher and maybe an everyday catcher, or maybe a 3B, didn't see one posted.
If you can get Billingsley, that would be a great move.
Also, if you waited until the late rounds to snag Joba, good job. The Yankees have him on a strict innings limit this year, and will skip his start in the rotation once in a while.
Good offense, Chris Davis looks expendable. Rock-solid relief pitching.
