Any opinions on my team and what I should pickup/ trade, improve upon? I'm going to be last anyday now, the way things are going:(
TIA:)

Okay (out of 12 pts for first place)
R HR RBI SB AVG W SV K ERA WHIP
4 3.5 4.5 11.5 5.5 5.5 7 6 5 6.5
So that means I'm doing really badly in Runs, HR's RBI's and AVG and ERA.
Any Opinions?

If you can get decent production from your OF, you should be fine in the hitting categories. I'd be a bit more worried about whether pitchers like Rueter and Suppan can keep up their winning ways. Adding a third closer like Escobar would probably also make a lot of sense.

Good luck!

Someone offered me Pat Burrell for Eric Chavez? What do you think, should I do it, based on my lineup? TIA:)

you dont need another outfielder that bad

[BoSox2003]

i wouldn't do that trade, 3rd is too tough a position to find a good replacment and i think chavez will put up better numbers for a roto league anyways, you could try to get more outa this kid by seeing if hell throw in a decent 3B.

Thanks guys for your comments:)
Someone just offered me this, what do you think? My first inclination is to say no, but I'm curious what your thoughts are? (based upon my above lineup)

I GET:
Johnson, Randy (SP-Ari)
Williams, Mike (RP-Pit)
Nixon, Trot (RF-Bos)
Valentin, Jose (3B, SS-CWS)


I GIVE:
Rodriguez, Alex (SS, Tex)

[BoSox2003]

i would not do that trade and heres why- Your SP is already very strong, and quite a bit stonger the you bats. Johnson is no doubt a great player, williams isn't as good as your other two RP, you dont need Valentin with chavez at 3b and trot wont be playing as much with the bosox stacked bench, he will be subing through with giambi millar and ortiz.
arod is valuable of a bat to give up .

I would not make that trade. You can't replace ARod.
