First of all this is a yahoo league. 10 teams and h2h. It is very fun. 15 by 15.
Categories are as follows - R, H, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, BB, TB, E, AVG, OBP, SLG, PA, IP, W, L, CG, SHO, SV, H, ER, BB, K, ERA, WHIP, K/BB, K/9, QS
Here is my team: C Bengie Molina 1B Lance Berkman 2B Brian Roberts 3B Mike Lowell SS Jason Bartlett (just picked up to fill in for HanRam) OF Carlos Lee OF Jason Bay OF Curtis Granderson Util Jayson Werth Util Corey Hart BN Hanley Ramírez BN Aaron Hill BN Justin Upton BN Matt Wieters
SP Justin Verlander SP Yovani Gallardo SP Ted Lilly SP Kevin Millwood SP Scott Richmond (streaming spot) RP Francisco Cordero RP Frank Francisco P Brian Wilson P Clayton Kershaw BN Roy Oswalt BN Jordan Zimmermann DL John Lackey
I have Lowell (who has been red hot ). I don't really like having two players from the same team. Also he is batting seventh in the line-up and the RBIs wont keep coming like they are. I would really like a stud. David Wright is a guy who I would love to nab as is Miggy. Both are kind of struggling now. Who should I try to get?
Best available FA - Marco Scutaro, Mark Reynolds, Russell Branyan, Clint Barmes, Hank Blalock, Scott Rolen and Ian Stewart.
What would you do???

I would consider dumping Richmond for Ian Stewart and then try and trade one of your good 2b for a small 3b upgrade. (Stewart would become the backup at 2b AND 3b to you, maybe even the starter).
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!
Lowell, Werth, Hart, Lilly, Millwood -For- Wright, Adam Jones
I would pick up any three of these guys (probably two pitchers and a hitter)
Pitchers - Aaron Laffey, Randy Johnson (just cleared waivers), Zack Duke, and Doug Davis
Hitters - Asdrubal Cabrera, Mike Aviles (on waivers till tomorrow), Marco Scutaro, Dexter Fowler, and Jason Kubel.
The ones in bold are the ones i like...
Here is his team: C Russell Martin 1B Prince Fielder 2B Orlando Hudson 3B David Wright SS Troy Tulowitzki OF B.J. Upton OF Matt Kemp OF Kosuke Fukudome Util Adam Jones Util Torii Hunter BN Paul Konerko BN Plácido Polanco BN Bobby Abreu BN Emilio Bonifacio
SP James Shields SP Félix Hernández SP A.J. Burnett SP Jeremy Guthrie SP Brad Penny RP Mariano Rivera RP Brad Lidge P George Sherrill P Justin Masterson BN Randy Wolf BN Jarrod Washburn
I would do it as id oesnt really kill you OF just leaves you with less tantilizing UTIL prospects, but you do get Wright and Lowell will cool down, and you can plug who ever is hot in the UTIL roles, so I would take the trade
I like the trade offer that the last guy offered. IMO, Werth, Hart, and Jones are similar players. Werth has the better lineup. Hart is the more proven hitter. But, Jones hits 2nd in the Orioles lineup and has the sky for his potential. Wright is obviously the best player. You don't lose that much with losing Lilly and Millwood. It is a great sell high with Milwood and Lilly gives you K's but BAD ERA and WHIP.
I would offer a new trade but don't cancel his other trade... see what he says. If you get worried, then don't panic. Just accept the current trade.
