The trade I submitted that was just accepted is this:

My Alfonso Soriano, Pat Burrell, Aaron Rowand, and Carlos Marmol for his Brian Roberts, Andrew McCutchen, and Alex Rios

I am a Soriano fan and was hard to shop him to other teams since he carries such a low avg and seems to be in a funk. I figured this would be a good time to kinda buy low on Roberts since he has had a bad 2 weeks and Rios is really in a funk these days.

Did I do the right thing? I really now need power and RBI's in the outfield which I am lacking because of Ellsbury, Damon, and Victorino.

Do you need to carry that many OF to start or are some of them on your bench? If you are basically plugging Roberts into the 2B/SS spot and Rios into your OF, with McCutcheon taking on a role where he is platooning some, then this is a very good deal for you. I think you got two of the three best players in the deal, as Roberts, Rios, and Soriano are all roughly equal. That's why I like the deal for you.

I can start 5 Outfielders and 1 UTL person.

I usually start Soriano, Reimold, Victorino, Damon, and Ellsbury in the OF and plug Rowand in at UTL. Rasmus is just someone I picked up recently in case someone was not playing. I could care less about lossing Burrell since I just picked him up the other day and Rowand I've only had for 2 weeks off waivers.

Starting two out of three of Reimold, McCutcheon, and Rasmus is a decent deal for you. I think you did well here.
