I'm currently 9th out of 11 in a 5x5 non-keeper roto league.. do you think there is any chance of moving up to the top with this lineup? where do i most need improvment? as you might notice the league is pretty deep and the ww is very thin.

C) V. Martinez
1b) J. Thome
1b) D. Ward
2b) B. Boone
2b) C. Utley
3b) E Chavez
3b) P. Feliz
SS) E. Renteria
SS) A. Berroa
LF) G. Jenkins
CF) J. Damon
RF) J. Burnitz
OF) C. Patterson
OF) J. Bay
DH) M. Lecroy
BN) B. Roberts

SP (5): C. Zambrano, J. Santana, M. Redman, W. Alverez, B. Zito
RP (4): J. Valverde, B. Lidge, D. Kolb, L. Hawkins
BN: B. Radke, J. Bonderman, J. Acevedo, Z. Greinke, K. Wells

catagory and rank: R (8), HR (6), RBI (9), SB (1), Avg (10), W(10), SV(10), K(8), ERA(7) WHIP(7)

i just traded away crawford for zito, so it is likely that my SB rank will be falling soon

Unfortunately, it looks like you have a team of chronic underachievers for this year. However, I think you have a very good lineup and some decent potential for turnaround in your pitching staff. My one suggestion would be to try and add a slugging OFer. Position for position OF is your weakest. Go for a power hitting LF like Manny, Berkman or Bonds while he is struggling.

I like the Crawford trade. Zito has to get his stuff together sometime soon. He may not get many Ws though. I agree that your biggest need is a slugging OF. You seem to have at least one very good player at every other position. You could probably trade off one of your IFs in a package with Burnitz or Jenkins, but I dont know if that would be enough. You do also have a few other guys that should start playing better.

Id appreciate some input on mine if you can. Thanks.
