Currently in LAST place in this 12 team, roto points Yahoo league. My offense has been awful, pitching has been pretty good. I recently made a few trades - I was able to buy low and get Justin Verlander AND Carlos Gomez for Brad Hawpe a few weeks ago. And I just pulled the trigger to deal Johan, Helton and Hoffman for Teixeira, Soria and Christian Guzman. Here is my new squad:
C - VMart
1B - Teixeira
2B - Barmes
3B - Braun
SS - Guzman
CI - Longoria
MI - Pedroia
OF - Ordonez
OF - Abreu
OF - Ludwick
OF - C Gomez
UT - JD Drew
BN - Melky Cabrera
BN - Kent
BN - Jay Bruce
DL - Posada
P - Lincecum
P - Wang
P - Verlander
P - Carmona
P - Putz
P - Soria
P - Wellemeyer
P - Redding
P - Mussina
BN - Hendrickson
BN - Olson
BN - Maddux
Injuries have killed me - with Putz out, I fell way behind in saves. I lost Posada for awhile and VMart has been KILLING me. Dude has completely lost his power. 0 homers?! Only 9 runs scored?!
Thoughts on where I can improve? Moves I should make? I'm still thinking I should try to sell high on Ludwick while I can. Posada should be back soon and hopefully Jay Bruce gets called up soon and makes a big impact. I am probably already in too deep of a hole to climb out but we'll see. Thoughts? WHIR!
I like the moves I have made so far and I am starting to see some signs of improvement.
