I've made a few moves since my last thread, and I wanted to know what you guys thought:
This is a 5x5 roto league, with 12 teams. Daily lineup changes. Here's my roster:
C Joe Mauer C Josh Thole 1B Kevin Youkilis 2B Robinson Canó 3B Chris Johnson SS Starlin Castro CI Kendry Morales MI Dan Uggla OF Hunter Pence OF Torii Hunter OF Vernon Wells OF Denard Span Util Luke Scott BN Ty Wigginton BN Lance Berkman BN Magglio Ordóñez
SP Josh Johnson SP Zach Greinke RP Mariano Rivera RP Carlos Mármol P Joe Nathan P José Valverde P Derek Holland P Homer Bailey BN Edinson Vólquez BN Mike Pelfrey BN Brandon Webb BN Chris Young
I know I need to improve my pitching. I would like to add two more good relievers.
I just made a trade to bring me Youkilis, which solves my third base problem (at least, it does after a few days). I'll slide youk into 3B, Morales into 1B, and I've got a few CI candidates right now.

I think your offense is pretty solid. I would definitely drop Encarnacion after Youk gets 3rd eligibility and slide Kendry into 1st. I've never understood having to start 2 catchers but that's not here nor there.
Like you said, your SP's are suspect. Greinke is hurt now and Josh Johnson is made of glass. I think Webb is toast and I have never been a Bailey fan. Big Pelf needs to have a huge year for your team. So I guess I'd look to trade for one or two improved SP's.
I'll comment on yours in a moment. OG post edited after a few adds/drops. One was dropping Encarnacion now to add Chris young. If he stays healthy, he could be a legit #2 starter, and I'll live with Chris Johnson as my 3b for 5 days.

There's a lot of truth in this statement. We root for the same team, but if Young stays healthy and pitches two good games for me, he would have already done more for this fantasy team than Encarnacion.

I like your team a lot, I would try to see if any of the rookie SPs are available. Minor, Pineda, Mcdonald? They would be better options with high risk/upside compared to some of your worse SPs.
Of the guys you mentioned, only Pineda is available.
Who would you suggest dropping? I was thinking of dropping Berkman, but you suggested one of my high risk pitchers. Is this guy even guaranteed to break camp with the team?
Thanks man!
