your staff is too suspect to be trading one of your best SP's for a RP. Surf the Waiver Wire or try to trade of a lesser SP for a more middle of the road RP. Saves are saves, no need to go after a K-Rod where the owner will most likely want high value when you can get a guy like Ryan Franklin or Brian Wilson..

Throw out a "On the Block Update" and put it out there that you have SP (dont put a specific guy out there) and you're looking for RP. You never know what people will send you.

Liriano is dirty and is far more valuable than a Closer.

Good luck and please help w/ mine.

I am in dead last in saves. I have Rivera and Wagner. I might be able to move up two spots by seasons end. But I am also in the top three in the other pitching catagories. The same thing happend to me last year. I had never punted saves. I did and I loaded up on starters by trading my two closers. I'm going to do the same thing. Saves is ONE catagory. Look at how much you can gain if you get another closer. How many saves won the catagory last year and then look at how many you could end up with. Project out. Thats what I did. I'm going with starters . Sure one or two points could end up winning the league. But if I can get more points in the other four catagoies thats what I'm going to do. By the way. Liriano is way too much for KRod

Liriano is way too much for K-Rod. Try someone like Romero to see if he bites on that.
