This isn't a public league, so we can't see your team. Post it out, and I can try to help.

[srozario]

Here is my line up:

C-Lo Duca
1B-Tex
2B-Miles
3B-Rolen
SS-Clayton
OF-Burnitz
OF-Cameron
OF-Walker
Util-Casey
Bn-Abreu, Crawford, Mora, E Young

Available on the waiver wire for any weak spots is Belliard-2B and Izturis-SS

Starting Pitching
Santanta, Schmidt,Oswalt, Wright, Weaver, Alvarez, Leiter, (El Duque) Hernandez, Leiter
Relievers-Lidge, Benitez, Gagne

Thanks a lot,
Sam

Oh and I have Larry Walker.

[The Thrill]

The Home vs. Away splits on Clayton & Burnitz are pretty brutal. Since you have Crawford & Abreu, I assume you're only playing Burnitz on Home games?

Any chance BJ Upton is still avl as a FA? May want to consider him when Clayton's playing away (or even instead of Clayton altogether).

[srozario]

I picked up C Guillen off of waivers to replace Clayton, will upton or any other SS outperform Guillen down the Stretch?

[srozario]

And yes Upton is available on waivers.

[The Thrill]

Wow! Good pickup. I would doubt that any other free agent SS will outperform Guillen. The Tigers face KC, Cleveland, Baltimore, MN and ChiSox in the future. Not exactly fearsome staffs (although Guillen hasn't hit KC very well this year).

Tampa Bay's schedule looks OK (they should be able to hit KC and Toronto pictching hard), but they've got the Yankees and Boston in there, so I'd be surprised if the rookie Upton will outperfom Guillen.

[srozario]

I've adjusted my lineup a little bit, here is how it looks now.

C-Lo Duca
1B-Tex
2B-E Young-replace him with bellhorn when he comes back?
3B-Rolen
SS-C Guillen
OF-Abreau
OF-Crawford
OF-Burnitz
Util-Walker
Bn-Casey, Mora

Some notable players available on waiver wire, Patterson, Rowand.

Thanks,
Sam

Looks like a nice team to me.

I'm assuming you're only playing Burnitz at home games. Especially if you're benching Mora.

Who's on waivers for 2B? I believe Eric Young is only a part-timer.
