Currently, I'm third overall in my 12-team, 6x6 (standard stat + OBP/Holds) keeper league. I'm lacking in the HR/RBI cat's and was offered Nelson Cruz for Jiminez. Here's my team rankings:
C - J. Kendall 1B - P. Fielder 2B - D. Pedroria SS - E. Andrus 3B - E. Longoria MI - A. Cabrera (DL) D. Eckstein CI - J. Votto OF - C. Gonzalez OF - J. Upton OF - C. Rasmus U - A. Jackson U - C. Maybin U - J. Drew
SP - U. Jiminez SP - Z. Greinke SP - J. Santana SP - J. Peavy SP - M. Leake RP - B. Wagner RP - B. Fuentes RP - W. Ohman RP - D. Robertson
Bench - OF Nolan Reimold SP - D. Holland, R. Porcello RP - A. Simon (DL) F. Rodney
Minor - B. Posey, J. Vitters
Standings BA - 3rd HR - 10th OBP - 3rd R - 2nd RBI - 11th SB - 2nd
ERA - 4th Holds - 3rd K - 10th (WTF? Thought I had a K machine staff? ) Saves - 12th Wins - 2nd WHIP - 2nd
I'm only a few points out from first. Season is still relatively young, but I'm thinking I need to make a move soon in the power department and saves for that matter. What do you guys suggest? Any help would be great. WHIR as always!

Stay put. Jimenez is a top pitcher for the rest of the year, and while Cruz has been a stud, he is injured too often. If you want to make a deal make it for a more sure-fire player. You should be able to get a pretty elite talent (top 25ish).
Fair deal, but I would hold out for more. Ubaldo is outproducing Lincecum, FWIW, and if you can nab a top 15-20 bat (let's say a Matt Kemp, for example), that's a deal worth making.
Kemp is a nice thought. I'd sooner see you think of the best 5-7 players and go from there.
As good as Cruz is, the other fellas nailed it; you should be able to get a healthier option.
And even Pujols, Fielder, Teixiera, Hanley, Kemp, A-Rod owners might listen. It's deep enough into a season that people will trust this performance.
But don't be afraid to hold all year. You got him right, very right, and a single good FA score can help your HR/RBI circumstance, too, without trading your best P.
Thanks for your help guys and I think I responded to all your questions. The trade has now shifted to my J. Santana for his Contrereas/Axford/Hawpe. He's also got Adam Lind that I know he's getting really frustrated with. Contreras/Axford *could* help me with saves and throwing Hawpe or maybe Lind can prop up my HR/RBI cat's. What are your thoughts on this deal?
