you can't afford to lose figgins with uggla struggling like that. here are different ideas:

braun, kershaw and bartlett, volquez or buerhle should get you both. justin upton, jeter and either johnson or kershaw gives you a shot at both, but isn't more appealing to him than the braun deal.

kershaw and one of volquez, buerhle, or bartlett should get you beckett.

justin upton, and one of johnson, kershaw or jeter would give you a decent chance at landing howard.

Should I honestly just stay put with what I got or would it be in my best interest to try for one of these guys?

post your usual offensive starting lineup. i think your pitching could use beckett, but doesn't need him desperately(lackey, kershaw, johnson and jurrjens is a very nice group).

[amarlls]

as its posted above is my normal starting lineup, there are MI and CI included in lineup so thats what extras are

[amarlls]

Hes got Oswalt, Happ, or Lilly I can shoot for also?? Dont think I can or will go for Howard, I would have to bench or move Chipper, figgins, or ARAm to make room for him. I should have a huge jump in power and RBI with ARAM and Manny back in lineup. Will need to move one of my OF as Vlad will be coming back soon. Let me know if I should jsut shoot for one of those other pitchers

if cabrera qualifies at 3b, i'd go after howard very hard. if miggy is only 1b eligible, i'd ignore howard. i'd start by offering justin upton, bartlett and kershaw for howard, an outfielder of his choice and any player of his choice.

Oswalt would be a good pitching target. bartlett and pettitte for roy would be a great deal for you. or volquez and bartlett for roy and a decent(not great 2nd player). or buerhle and pettitte for oswalt.
