I just took over this team that is in 12th place in a 20 team h2h dynasty league. I feel like i need to make some trade moves to make this team a serious contender this year. Can any of you suggest some trades I should make?

The Bad News? That is one crappy pitching team.

The Good News? You could likely make some upgrades on the waiver wire and you do have a few sure fire keepers (Morneau, Upton, Cabrera, Ludwick, Rasmus, Lester, Lewis, Leake).

Can you go to your league, look at the last month of the season and tell me the top 3-4 players in each of the following categories:

2B
3B
SS

Top 5-7 Starting Pitchers?

huh?

You said you were in a dynasty/keeper league?

What are the rules in the league? Do you have $ to spend? Can you pick up players off the waiver wire?

I assumed that you could and was wondering what players are currently available.

Is that allowed in your league?

[rasto21585]

Yea we can pick guys off the waiver wire but the wire is pretty thin right now. There is nothing but garbage out there. I think the only way to help this team out is with a ton of trades. Do you have any trade suggestions?

[zonk]

Oh, I'm sorry. I originally thought you were in a 10 team league. Yeah, with 20 teams, the FA market is really thin.

Guys I might dangle in a trade now:

Chase Headley (I think Walker has higher upside)
Russel Martin (I might be in the minority but I think his best days are behind him. But, you'd have to get a C. So...)
Edwin Encarnacion (I think his ceiling is pretty limited and you might get someone who thinks his current streak will continue.)
Jose Tabatha (the wife, the unknown age, the Yankees demoting him to single A before trading him, I'd see what you could get for him. A young catching prospect?)

Sorry I'm not more help, especially with the pitching.

20 teams? In that case your roster is pretty stacked. I would love to see the keepers and draft results...
