Wow, that's alot of info man, lol. Your team looks great to me...I like the roster from top to bottom, and the trades you've made? well I think you should be charged with armed robbery cuz you definitely did some fleecing in those moves, lol. I'd take that roster in a second. I like you idea about trading for another OF, that's the only need I see right now other than needing another SP. Of course when Kemp comes back you'll have the OF you need. So I think you should try to get another SP, and only focus on that. I'd definitely try and move Morneau and Morse. I don't like either one of those guys going forward. Also could try and move Campana to somebody that needs speed, I like that guy but he can't get regular ABs and that makes him hard to trust or start everyday...you might find a sucker though that just sees the SBs and falls in love with them. I also agree on trying to deal Peds, cuz his thumb injury really has me concerned about his power numbers going into the 2nd half...he could come back no problem at some point, but so far his power has been zapped by that damn thumb. Betwee all four of those guys you should be able to pull off 2 for 1 deal that will land you a good SP. My targets, if at allpossible would be: Cain (of course everbody wants him right now and his price tag might be too high), Verlander (still mowing them down and low W's might have dipped his value to make him attainable enough to steal), Bumgarner (undervalued), Weaver (get him while he's still hurt then enjoy the production when healthy, and Colby Lewis. You might be saying Colby Lewis??? lol but yeah, Lewis has been magnificent this year, and his stuff has been absolutely filthy...he's also been pitching deep into almost every single start...his ERA might take a little hit with the warmer weather coming in TX, but playing on the Rangers with that kind of run support and his stuff should equate to a great 2nd half. He's somebody that you might be able to get on the cheap who I think will really pay some big dividends. Hope that helps, and thanks again for your help with mine
