Advice Needed: My team needs major help

[naniwa]

I won last year and as is a tradition in my league did a lot of post-victory trash talking. I guess that's why the drafting gods were not kind this year.

We score:
Batters - R,H,2B,HR,RBI,SB,BB,K,TB,A,E,AVG,OBP

Pitchers - IP, W, CG, SHO, SV, H, HR, BB, K, WP, HLD, ERA, WHIP

Here's my roster:

C-Eli Marrero
1B-Todd Helton
2B-Ray Durham
SS-Jimmy Rollins
3B-Robin Venture
OF-Lance Berkman
OF-Brian Giles
OF-Ichiro
B-Cliff Floyd (OF)
B-Aubrey Huff (1B, also 3B by midseason)
B-Joe Crede (3B)

SP-Kerry Wood
SP-Ramon Ortiz
SP-Javier Vazquez
SP-Brian Lawrence
SP-Ben Sheets
SP-Damian Moss

RP-Jose Jimenez
RP-Matt Mantei
RP-Octavio Dotel
RP-Alan Embree

I know I need starting pitching. What reliver would you dump? I have an offer for Matt Mantei (AJ Burnett in return). Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You don't need major help. You should start Huff as soon as 3B becomes availablr for him. In the meantime I would start Crede over Ventura, since he will lose time to Zeile during the Year. Good Job getting Burnett for Manti. Keep Dotel for you Holds. Your Pitching could use some work but your hitting looks good. I would try an Trade an OF for a SP.
