I have different opinions.  J.J Putz could become Mariner's closer soon.  He is posting 1 W, 2 SV, 3.18 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 19 K, 2 BB in 11 innings.  Compare to Eddie Guardado, his stats is much better (although manager Mike Hargrove said Eddie is still the closer).  Someone who is looking for closer would like to get JJ, maybe with a good deal.\n\nJacobs is another story.  People have a lot of expectaion on him, but all coaches know he is really bad with left-hand pitchers (.133 this season).  And he is not in a good team to give him R and RBI support either.\n\nSo I think you can get better players for JJ Putz.  FYI.

Josh Beckett, he's young and could help for years to come.

Dude!  I have him too!  DON'T Trade him unless you can get high.  Sexson has never been a contact hitter, but he will get the long ball.  I got him cheap since he's slumping.  But unless you can get someone ranked 50+, don't trade him!

Not knowing your exact team makeup, ie number of  SP number of Closers or whether the league is Head to Head or rotissiere, I can't be certain.  However of those listed Saito is the best choice strictly on ability.  A good closer who should have the job for awhile makes him a worthwhile add.  If by some chance your league counts holds as well as saves, Zumaya would be the top choice.  If you need a SP more, I'm not particularly impressed with those you listed.  Shields might be OK, but is Scott Olsen of the Marlins available?  I imagine Josh Johnson also of Florida is gone, but I'd rank Olsen ahead of any of the guys you named, and fellow Marlin Ricky Nolasco might also be as good or better choice than Shields.  Another option is Cole Hamels.  He's been shaky last couple of starts, but I think he'll turn it around and be a very good fantasy SP.  In fact I'd add Olsen, Saito, and Hamels if all were available.  Do you have any bench hitters you can drop?  The bench isn't very important in most fantasy leagues.  I'm in first or contending in some leagues with no extra hitters.

Of course you keep him!  He's just going through some minor injuries right now.  This is not a situation like Dodgers where you have a clear closer situation.  Street will be fine just be patient.  He's back and is just being babied right now.  He'll be fine.  Having said that though, if you can get an established closer who might be struggling a little bit now, I would trade for him.  Think Lidge or Todd Jones.

Out of that bunch, you may be best served trading Randy Johnson and Ryan Dempster. You have two strikeout guys in Santana and Kazmir and occasionally a third with Buehrle. \n\nGetting a taker for Johnson should be easy, look for a younger starter like SF's Noah Lowry, or Anaheim's John Lackey or Washington's John Patterson. I know Patterson is injured now and won't be back for another two weeks, but he looks like a keeper.\n\nIf you package Chipper and maybe Beltran for a superstar outfielder, that may also work.

you have to think about this logically, player by player. A-rod will have protection from his entire lineup, so he will obviously get pitches to hit, he'll have at least 35 HR with 140 RBI. Josh beckett is much better than zambrano. Becket is way more intense and will get a ton of run support. Jimmy rollins will hit 350 while jeter will probably hit 310.  All in All i think the trade will benefit your opponent, i would keep becket and A-rod. I would NOT do this trade.

Use Beckett. I'm not sure if they have a website, but it wouldn't hurt to search.

I would definitely try to get some more power bats and change catcher.\n\nSo I would probably deal coco Crisp for a power outfielder.\n\nAnother possibility is to get rid of a pitcher (you have plenty) to get a good power guy, if you pack Coco Crisp with one of your DL pitchers you should get a very good bat (C. Lee, D. Lee, Manny, A. Jones...)

He has declined since three years ago.  Will this change, maybe.  Orioles is moving him to 1B, and hope by reducing his catcher duty he can hit better.  You can keep an eye on it.  It's still too early to drop him.  After all, a good offensive catcher is hard to find.

I had a closing problem on my team because I only had B. Wagner as my closer, then I picked up Akiniri Otsuka. He's the replacement for Frankie Cordero and Buck Showwalter wants him there and think he'll be there for a long time because Cordero is just not ready yet. Of course there is the most popular replacement closer, J.J. Putz, he's probably taken, but if not, u get him. A. Burgos was on but he's in a bad slump now and since the Royals suck, he doesn't have much opportunities and anyway, i think he lost the job to Elmer Dessens and anyway, Mike MacDougal is coming bak from his injury soon and as soon as he comes bak, he's the closer. Another closer that is a sleeper in most leagues, is Tyler Walker, after being dessignated for assingment by the Giants, the Devil Rays pick him up and he's doin pretty well for them right now. And there is the Marlins closer J. Borowski, but since the Marlins don't win a lot of games, he doesn't have a whole lot of oppurtunitys. Another one is Todd Coffey, he's probably goin to take over the job in Cinnci. I also know a lot of people dropped Armando Benitez, the injuried Giants closer. Same with Eric Gagne. Brandon Looper is a possibility but don't get him now, get him only if Izzy is hurt.\nAlso try to buy T. Hoffman or J. Valverde low via trade. Maybe give a guy like J. Westbrook or a little bit more.\nOh, and one more...Roberto Hernandez, the set-up man for the Pirates might get like 12 saves during thr year because Jim Tracy sometimes uses Mike Gonzalez to face leftys, then Hernandez gets the closing role for that day. \nHope I helped

Not to be the Center Fielder, we got Grady Sizemore but they\nshould go after Greg Maddux or Ted Lilly.  They can use Josh\nBarfield as the leadoff hitter.

You should check out a Beckett's price guide.

I'd definitely be on the look-out for a replacement for Loaiza... If he keeps pitching (if he is allowed to by the A's) like he has been, any one of those pitchers you mentioned might be the better option this year...

Keep Myers, stash him on the bench and none of the other Ps are having great FANTASY seasons just productive ones.  If you need to pick up someone, I'd go after Benson but Myers is a better pitcher.  Once the ASG passes, see what's going on with Myers before you do anything.

The best move of the offseason will be Josh Beckett to the Red Sox.  He is a big game pitcher built for pitching in the AL East.  Burnett for the Jays could be huge too, but provided no blister problems, Beckett could win 20, throw 220, and strikeout 220 batters this year.  \n\nThe Jays definitely helped themselves the most.  Burnett, Ryan, Overbay, and Glaus are huge upgrades.
