Guys I need some positive reinforcement. SHould my team see signs of improvement..I don't see how this team could be battling for last place in a 10 team rotisserie.

That's a crazy pitching staff you have. And you just have some players starting off slow (Dunn, Berkman, and of course Beltran since he hasn't played much) and a few of your pitchers have gotten rocked out of the gates. It's a good team though so I'd sit tight on the hitting and try to upgrade your relief pitchers. Konerko or Rollins could probably help reel in a decent closer.

THANKS MAN.. I CLEANED UP ON PITCHERS ON DRAFT DAY BECAUSE ALL MY POSITION PLAYERS THAT I ORIGINALLY WANTED WERE GETTING EATEN UP... I GRABBED WADE MILLER IN ROUND 10 I THINK WHICH TOTALLY ROUNDED OUT MY STAFF.

ANYWAY, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS TRADE?
I NEED 3RD BASE HELP AND D'ANGELO JIMENEZ HAS 3RD BASE ELIGIBILITY SO I'M TRADING WOODY WILLIAMS FOR HIM STRAIGHT UP.

I'M ALSO TRYING TO TRADE MULDER FOR SMOLTZ STRAIGHT UP TO A GUY WHO'S IN LAST PLACE WHO HAS GAGNE AND SMOLTZ ON THE SAME TEAM.

Once your outfielders heat up you should see some improvement. I don't know if Jimenez would help you that much. And you don't know if he is a fluke. I would keep Williams or trade him for someone better. Mulder for Smoltz sounds fair.

[Bliz34]

YEAH WELL LOOKING BACK ON WILLIAMS' INJURY PAST I DON'T MIND GIVING HIM UP FOR A SOLID PLAYER WITH 3 BAGGER ELIGIBILITY WHO HAS SB POTENTIAL.. A LITTLE POWER AND BASIC LEAD-OFF MAN PRODUCTION ON A SOLID CHI-TOWN SOX TEAM. JIMENEZ IS BY NO MEANS PROVEN YET BUT THAT'S WHAT FANTASY IS ALL ABOUT.

THERE IS A TEAM WHO HAS OFFERED ME CHIPPER JONES AND BILLY KOCH FOR THE RIGHT PRICE. BASICALLY HE WANTS BERKMAN BUT I DON'T WANT TO GIVE HIM UP. YOU THINK WADE MILLER AND LARRY WALKER FOR CHIPPER AND KOCH WOULD BENEFIT ME?? OR IS THAT A POINTLESS TRADE?

[isis]

What does his team look like?

RP.. NEN, J.JULIO,KOCH, AND ACEVEDO

[Bliz34]

ACTUALLY I MISSED 2 OTHER PLAYERS.. HE HAS MUSSINA AS AN ACE AND HE HAS DERREK LEE AS HIS DH

[isis]

So it would be Miller and Walker for Chipper and Koch?

I wouldn't do it. I would do Miller and Walker for Abreu and Koch.
