Man that is a beautiful team! I have Furcal on my team as well but i'm thinking of trading him. He had a great season last year, but i feel that he won't be able to put up the same numbers. As for your pitching I would get a good RP, but your SP's ROCK. Great job managing!
I just traded beltran, kent, and furcal for soriano, ordonez, and encarnacion.
so my new team looks like this:
C J. Kendall (Pit - C)
1B A. Pujols (StL - 1B,LF)
2B A. Soriano
3B M. Lowell (Fla - 3B)
SS O. Cabrera (Mon - SS)
OF M. Ordonez
OF A. Huff (TB - LF,1B)
OF M. Cabrera (Fla - 3B,LF)
Util J. Damon (Bos - CF)
BN S. Green (LA - RF)
BN J. Encarnacion
BN J. Jones (Min - LF,DH)
SP R. Halladay (Tor - SP)
SP R. Oswalt (Hou - SP)
RP D. Báez (TB - RP) RP
RP T. Hoffman (SD - RP)
P J. Nathan (Min - RP)
P B. Sheets (Mil - SP)
P V. Padilla (Phi - SP)
BN F. García (Sea - SP)
DL. B. Kim
I don't know about you, or if you've had any takers, but I've been trying to shop Cabrera around. I'm convinced that we could be doing better at the SS position. The idea of another closer is a good one. But the problem is finding them out there, since no one seems to be parting with the ones they've got. Green's been playing well, so that is giving you a strong bench.
I just got Russ Ortiz and picked up Francisco Rodriguez...so my team now looks like this:
C J. Kendall (Pit - C)
1B A. Pujols (StL - 1B,LF)
2B A. Soriano (Tex - 2B)
3B M. Lowell (Fla - 3B)
SS O. Cabrera (Mon - SS)
OF M. Ordóñez (CWS - RF)
OF A. Huff (TB - LF,1B)
OF M. Cabrera (Fla - 3B,LF)
Util J. Damon (Bos - CF)
BN S. Green (LA - RF)
BN J. Encarnación (LA - RF)
BN J. Jones (Min - LF,DH)
SP R. Halladay (Tor - SP)
SP R. Oswalt (Hou - SP)
RP F. Rodriguez (Ana-RP)
RP T. Hoffman (SD - RP)
P J. Nathan (Min - RP)
P B. Sheets (Mil - SP)
P R. Ortiz (Atl- SP)
BN V. Padilla (Phi - SP)
BN F. García (Sea - SP)
DL. B. Kim
Your roster is sick, I would say drop Ortiz, I think you know why, and pick up, or at least look at Zach Day, he plays for the Expos, but he is a stud. Just a sleeper thought I would recomend. You said you wanted to get rid of Lowell, I would try and pull it off for Chavez, since he is sucking it up right now, maybe his owner is drooling over Lowell right now.

Man I would have said this was a 8 team league. You should have no problem having this one in the bag by July unless half the league doesn't show. Wish people in my league were willing to trade big name players like that.
