pretty much what i was thinking, i was looking at my 1b situation, sweeny is good, but a health risk.
wilkerson has the eligibility at first, but i dont know if he will keep that, seeing as he will NEVER play 1b with tex there.
i agree on liriano, i had him ranked low on my draft board, and he just fell to me, i was actually contemplating trading him off to someone who may value him.
i offered up pudge and hoffman for felix hernandez, which i thought was a pretty fair and balanced offer, considering hernandez isnt a 100% proven player, but will likely produce.
if that trade goes through, i was thinking i could then look at packaging another pitcher and a bat (maybe sweeny) for a 1b and a 2nd -3rd tier sp, like maybe a blanton type.
as far as kazmir and pettite, i dont think id be able to pry them away at a fair price.
then again, the guy who has pettite has a bunch of sp's... carpenter, halliday,zambrano,pettite,clemens
but has jones and macdougal for his closers.
he also has some 1b options in huff and howard.
the guy with kazmir im pretty sure is going to vastly overvalue him. would probably cost me lidge or f-rod + another player
