It's a 12 team H2H keeper league. 6 keepers. Categories are R, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, BB, Avg x IP, W, CG, S, HR, K, ERA, WHIP

I want to add a few rookies (Jennings, Alvarez, Wallace all available) but don't know who to cut. Also, my offense sucks. I'd appreciate any feedback/advice. I'm 6-2-1 after this week and I haven't finished outside of the top 3 in four years, but I'm worried that streak is in jeopardy this season...

C - Rod Barajas
1B - Jorge Cantu
2B - Chase Utley
3B - Pablo Sandoval
SS - Stephen Drew
IF - Aaron Hill
OF - Mat Kemp
OF - Adam Jones
OF - Josh Willingham
Util - Adam LaRoche
BN - Jason Kubel
BN - Aramis Ramirez
BN - Travis Snider
DL - Jacoby Ellsbury

SP - Roy Halladay
SP - CC Sabathia
SP - Andy Pettitte
RP - Jonathan Broxton
RP - Ryan Franklin
P - Mike Pelfrey
P - Ricky Romero
BN - Shaun Marcum
BN - Jaime Garcia
BN - Ian Kennedy
BN - Brian Matusz
BN - Frank Francisco

Again, I welcome any and all feedback. But I'd love advice on fixing my offense. My pitching seems pretty solid. Could I use another closer, sure. I had Michael Gonzalez but cut him. I'm thinking of picking him back up, but shoulder trouble worries me...

Also, there is talk of going to 8 keepers next season. I'm betting the vote passes...

No one has anything to say? Who should I drop to grab a rookie?

Drew and Hill are a deadly combination to have and are sucking the life out of your offense. I'd see what I could get for Pelfry or Romero to upgrade those positions.

I'd stay away from Gonzalez because of the shoulder and because of the craptastic team that he's on that will give him very few save opportunities.

Instead, I'd shop Pelfrey or Pettitte. Pelfrey because he's a sell high guy that is pitching above his history and Pettite because he's 75 years old and won't stay healthy, IMO.

I actually think both Hill and Drew are primed for bigger second halves and I might shop Drew but I'm holding Hill in that Toronto lineup.

Aramis Ramirez is a guy that I also might trade once (if) he heats up at all. He's injury prone, his best years with Chicago are behind him and the Cubs blow.

Andre Eithier, Raul Ibanez, and Jose Bautista FOR Chris Carpenter, Dustin Pedroia, and Brett Gardner

I was the guy stuck with aaron hill, so i need a 2b, and I am need of pitching. my OF would be Gardner, Justin Upton, and either Mike Stanton/Jose Tabata for the time being. But is easier to find an OF then a pitcher/2b I'd think. It just scares me getting rid of Eithier. what do you think?
