Trade for a closer and more...who to give up? WHIR

[FantasyStud]

Hey all,

My Keeper League team is posted below, 5x5 categories, 10 teams in the league. I'm in 4th place with 59 points - the 1st place team has 80 points.

C-Bengie Molina
1B-Ryan Howard
2B-Dan Uggla
SS-Jason Bartlett
3B-Mark Reynolds
OF-Magglio Ordonez
OF-Curtis Granderson
OF-Jacoby Ellsbury
OF-Johnny Damon
OF-Andre Ethier
UTL-Miguel Cabrera (only 1B eligible)
UTL-Shin-Soo Choo
BN-Jose Reyes (benched while out this week)
DL-Alex Gordon

P-CC Sabathia
P-Justin Verlander
P-Wandy Rodriguez
P-John Lackey
P-Ryan Dempster
P-Gil Meche
P-Mark Buehrle
P-Francisco Rodriguez
P-LaTroy Hawkins
BN-Tim Wakefield
DL-Joakim Soria

Prospect-Carlos Carasco
Prospect-David Price
Prospect-Matt Wieters
Prospect-Dexter Fowler
Prospect-Brett Anderson
Prospect-Pedro Alvarez

On paper, my team looks good, but I am struggling so far:

Runs: I have 282, best team has 334 ( 7/10 points )
Homeruns: I have 78, best team has 107 ( 7/10 points )
RBIs: I have 295, best team has 350 ( 6/10 points )
SBs: I have 49, best team has 85 ( 8/10 points )
BA: I'm at .274, best team is at .294 ( 3/10 points )

K: I have 434, best team has 459 ( 9/10 points )
W: I have 31, best team has 32 ( 9/10 points )
Sv: I have 22, best team has 40 ( 2/10 points )
ERA: I have 4.35, best team has 3.49 ( 3/10 points )
WHIP: I have 1.329, best team has 1.309 ( 5/10 points )

I was just wondering if I should make any moves, or stick with what I have for now. If I should make a trade, who should I try to get?

- I thought that saves would be one of my strengths, but with Soria out and KRod potentially out now, I'm struggling there. So I obviously need a closer.

What other players should I try to trade for besides closers, and who should I use as trade bait?

Post your link, and I'll DEFINITELY help you in return! I PROMISE! Thanks so much!!!!

If your team is not a keeper, maybe sell Wakefield and either Wieters or Price for Papelbon ... sell on the sizzle while there is still some hype going.

As stated above, my team is a keeper league team though, FYI. But that's a thought...

Anyone else?

Besides your prospects, your obvious "Sell High" candidates are Bartlett, Reynolds, Damon and Rodriguez. I would try to package two of them for a closer and a replacement. Go after a closer who has been off the grid for a while, like Jose Valverde, or someone who started terribly, but has righted the ship, like Brian Fuentes.

A team offered me Bobby Jenks for my Andre Ethier. I think it's a bit too much to give up, what are all of your thoughts?

Thanks, and WHIR!
