3rd place looking to improve/Trade ideas---WHIR

[D.Piston]

How can I improve my team? Right now, I'm losing average, hits, and saves the most. Every other category I've been pretty competitive in winning. So, I was wondering if there's any expert advice out there to help improve my team. WHIR!!!

Questions to consider:
1. Should I drop Uggla for Nolasco
2. Trade Soria+Bruce for Top OF (Crawford, Markakis, McLouth, Ibanez, ...)
3. Trade Uggla+Soria or Top pitcher for Aaron Hill
4. Trade my Arod for Manny


10 Team/h2h/daily line up changes/3rd place
Hitters:
C Russell Martin
1B Albert Pujols
2B Figgins
3B Álex Rodríguez
SS Tulo
OF Zobrist (2B, SS, OF elgible)
OF Rios (slumping, but I like the steals)
OF Jay Bruce (Killing my avg. Maybe I could throw him in with Soria)
Util/1B Joey Votto (Finally back!)

BN 2B Uggla (Do I even need him?)
BN C Wieters (I've been starting him more than Martin lately)
DL Quentin
DL Beltran (Whew! Just a bone bruise)

Pitchers: (Maybe I could trade a pitcher for an outfielder? Just not sure what I could get?)
SP Javier Vázquez
SP Josh Johnson
SP A.J. Burnett
SP Chris Carpenter
SP Max Scherzer
SP Kevin Slowey
SP Edwin Jackson
RP Joakim Soria (Considering trading him and totally punting Saves, not sure who to target though)
RP JP Howell (Same as above, might ditch saves)

With Figgins, I don't think you need Uggla.

Can you get Fuentes? He's been solid and you know the Angels will give him plenty of chances for the rest of the season for saves. Might be a good target.

I wouldn't trade A-Rod. He'll snap out of it.

If you could get Crawford for Soria/Bruce, I'd do that for sure. (I'm not a big McClouth fan or Ibanez fan for that matter, I think he's been a fluke) Crawford would be a big help in the cats you need to improve.

Good luck - here's mine: viewtopic.php?t=392107

I would be so sick of Uggla by now if I owned him, I picked up Nolasco a month ago and it has been awesome since.

I would keep Soria unless you can get Markakis, Crawford or Ibanez, I say pass on Nasty Nate

One wildcard idea I have is to trade A-Fraud for Manny, throw Uggla in at 2nd, put Figgins at 3rd and you have a huge OF upgrade. Although I hate A-Rod with a passion, I think this is a legit idea. Just get Nolasco somehow, trade one of those catchers for a closer also.

Thanks all. Anyone else have some input?
