My team - Does it need some adjusting?

[johnnie2130]

I think my team looks ok, but it could use some tweaking. I might have too much talent on my bench and need more pitching or maybe some of my bench players should be starters. Any thoughts on what would help my team? Thanks!

Sweeney - 1B
Giles - 2B
Tex - 3B (1B or 3B)
Furcal - SS

I'd be quite satisfied with that squad. Although you may want to move your bench hitters for upgrades on 1B and maybe another SP or two.

Who on my team could I trade and get some quality pitching or a 1B for? Would you trade Giles, having Reyes there to play 2nd after 15 games? Sorry for all the questions. I'm still learning.

I would rather have Giles at 2B, but if you can't get anyone to bite on Reyes, I'd try shopping him around. Matsui might be an easier sell, because it's more likely people have heard of him.

If you combined Giles and Sweeney, you might be able to get a 1B like Giambi. Another option is trading Giles for a Santana class pitcher. That's one I just did.
