I agree nice start. The only thing I personally would look to upgrade in is 3b maybe doing a 2 for 1 with Lawrie and Reddick and try to get a Beltre back depending on the teams needs. But you also can sit back and see what the season brings you and then make some moves.

Just got an offer from someone...Lawrie and Cutch for Longo Cruz and Markaikis..That's a huge upgrade at Third but also a big loss at Outfield.

Thats not a bad deal at all.. I would counter and see if he would take Alex Gordon .

I don't think the other owner will take Alex Gordon if he asked for McCutchen. However, I also definitely would not give up McCutchen and Lawrie in return for Longoria, Cruz, and Markakis. Stay pat with Lawrie; I like him quite a bit for this year. He'll miss some time, but I think he'll take a significant step forward with the bat.

[jesperSe7en]

Yes, I totally agree with you. I am however about to make a trade for Trout. I'll be giving up Kershaw and Gordon for Trout and Jarrod Parker. This way, I can hold on to trout and trade cutch for an ace if I need one throughout the year. We definitely have a more batter favorable league so I think it is a very good trade.

I struggle rating 10 team leagues, because there are more than enough quality players for everyone ( even waiver wires have quality players), your league will have even more quality players on WW since you only have 3 OF. I recommend you get your league add another OF for next year, heck with a ten teamer, i'd add another Utility player, corner infielder, and middle infielder.

But, what you asked about is this team:

This team is solid. I see very little weakness.

Kipnis isn't making progress, in fact, I expect a little decline.

Here is my updated team, with the new pick up of Mike Trout. I know my pitching isn't as good now but I still feel confident I can get a win each week, considering how much offense I have. If by chance I need to get an ace from someone, I can just do a cutch trade and get one. Also, I got rid of reyes since I didn't want to have the left side of my infield from Toronto lol.
