Your team is solid. You may want to consider upgrading your catcher position by offering Lieberthal and a possibly a starter for a Lopez or a Rodriguez. Lo Duca has been solid as well.

[BigWill]

not a bad team...I would maybe try trading Brian Giles while he still has some value because I don't think he is going to put up some of his past numbers since he is playing in that big park in San Diego.
and yes another catcher would be a good option...Lo Duca is available in a lot of leagues, but he may have already been nabbed. if so...Then I would try maybe Giles, Leibrathal, and maybe buehrle for like pudge or Jason Kendal...or you may even be able to get javy or posada out of that.

solid team. depending on where you are in your standings, maybe ungrading your catcher. but if it aint broke, dont fix it.

Solid I don't agree with above...upgrade catcher...I think lieberthal one of best values in the league... This year is a slow start but he will turn it around...he bats for very good average and can't complain about production for a catcher....And I believe will have to give up a lot to get a upper tier catcher since there isn't many out there. Besides he is def. top 5 in the league.

no offense to you phillyfanatic...cuz I think lieberthal's pretty good too...but I dont think that its a good sign for my catcher if the only person who thinks he's good is someone with his team name in their name.

[Amazinz]

Ok will you take it from a Mets fan (I hate the Phillies)? But he is correct, Lieberthal is a great value at Catcher IMHO and there are only about 5 Catchers I rank above him. Trading up for one of them is probably not worth it especially since people undervalue Lieberthal.
