Pay League, 3rd Place

[WhosBabeRuth]

As you may notice when you see my roster below, I am that team with the start players that have yet to realize its a new season. I started dtrong with an 8-2 win (Head 2 Head league) and in the past 3 weeks have slipped to third place. Right now im looking for some insight on what you think I should do. I like my team alot but I feel with a few key moves I can move to 1st place again.

Picked up Cabrera off WAIVERS! Just couldnt say no. The empty OF spot is vacant for the day as I just traded Jermaine Dye for Zito, Im looking for a good fit off waivers (Steve Finely perhaps). I will drop Garland for an OF. Now, I was thinking of trading A-Rod and Colon. (1) Im not thinking of trading A-rod because of his slow start, I feel I can get more for him because of his "big star name". I wanted to package him with Bartolo Colon. After recent commnents from Peter Gammons about his Velocity going down each start, his weight and so far his overall performance of late, I would like to deal him. Of what I need and lacking, what do you think I should offer. ZA-Rod/Bartolo FOR ____________??? AND any other opinions comments or difficulties you may have, give 'em to me! Thanks for your time, Josh.

trading arod right now would be suicide. sell high, not low. he's just starting to get hot. you know he's got far too much to prove to flame out and be anything short of amazing. he just needed a little getting used to in the big stage that is the bronx. as for colon, you should be able to get at least a pretty strong outfielder for him because he's a strong 2nd half pitcher and people are always looking for solid pitching. but you might want to wait one more start where he does well so you feel like you're getting the most out of a trade for him.
