For your team, Wang might be better than Cabrera.  Wang can pick up wins (Yangkee is much better than Orioles), with lower WHIP (walks increase WHIP).  Cabrera is better in Ks.  Their ERA would be similar.  You already have some K guys though.\n\nCabrera is a good picther but his team is in a very competitive division.  With RedSox, Yangkee and Blue Jays, he probably won't win 10 games this season.

I've been thinking about picking him up too but youre team is much better than mine. He should be thier for a while so I would wait and see how he does. if hes still doing this well D  Lee gets back then drop Broussard for Patterson.

Weaver will get called up soon, I think.  But Uggla has a bad hamstring is isn't playing much now. Soriano is kinda cold right now but he is worth a lot.  I would trade Berkman before I would trade Soriano.  Soriano will probably be on the Mets or Yankees pretty soon. His numbers will get even better, and his value.  Houston is struggling right now.  Check on Uggla before buying. Check out a pitcher like Miner of Detroit. He's a rookie that you could get cheap. He is putting up great numbers too.  Good Luck!

yes..you need a bat.  Any time you can get Tejada reasonably, I'd go for it. I feel it's a waste to use an early pick on a C. Pick 'em up and drop 'em. My current Cs are McCann, Willingham, Estrada, Varitek. They get injured quite often. Right now Napoli and Martin are hot. \nFurcal is only hitting .240 ..Martinez, last I checked was around.200..for a cleanup hitter like Miguel Tejada is a sweet deal.\nNow go and get the SBs you need. Maybe figgins is available!

YES!  Do it!  Iguchi is streaky and unproven--a second tier 2B at best.  Capuano is pretty good, but not as good as the Cy young candidate Santana.  Berkman hit two Bombs today.  You know what you will get from Santana and Berkman --two top tier players.  Bonds is extremely high risk.  Visquel is good but not a great offensive player, and he hits in a pitching friendly BP.  You gotta take this trade!\n\nAll in all, you gave 4 for 2--you get to pick up two players, a 2B, and SS.  Take a chance on the waiver wire, maybe a guy like Jack Wilson, Jose Lopez, or Ian Kinsler is avail.

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.

Normally the goal of the trade is to get the best player, and in this case arod is the best player in the deal.  However, you are giving up an underrated pitcher in patterson who could be a top 20 pitcher this year and who will be better than santana.  U also give up a third round preseason pick in ramirez and damon, who went around the sixth round.  Disregard weathers who is no better than a soriano who u could get on waivers, and I think u r giving up too much.  Drop patterson  from the deal and I think its fair.

Drop Matsui cuz he's not coming bak till early September. I'd bench T. Wakefield and F. Hernandez and put in Jeremy Bonderman maybe trade F. Hernandez and T. Wakefield for T. Glavine. Your closers r terrible cuz K. Foulke isnt the closer anymore and F. Cordero isn't the closer for the Rangers either. Guardado will be closing for the Mariners soon. But still since Guardado isnt closing yet, I'd go get a closer like J. Isringhausen for F. Cordero and K. Foulke.Actually include Matsui in the Isringhausen trade too. But then go for B. Fuentes, the Rockies closer. He's good and the Rockies r winning a lot of games this year.\nI'd also try to improve your middle infielders, L. Castillo and J. Peralta cuz Castillo is coolin down a lot and Peralta is in a slumpish mood right now. Also try to get another back-up for your OFs cuz Nixon isn't enough.\n7.5 out of 10.

Michael Barrett is the one.  I even got him from FA at a 10-team league.  He is batting .385 with 3 HR, 13 RBI now.  And he is a catcher!\n\nI also get Chris Reitsma from FA at another league.  He will be fine, no sign of changing his closer job yet.  Orlando Cabrera is hitting well now, but it's almost guaranteed he will back to "normal" later this season.  I don't think he is a sleeper anyaway.

Dropping him is the only thing you CAN do.  No one wants to trade for him as he's gonna be out for a long while!  Replace him with a solid backup.

This question can have many answers.\n\nIt's too bad that you don't have Bonds in a private league which uses either BB or On Base Percentage, as the walks would be crucial to your success.\n\nUnfortunately, his walks in a public league don't lead to much more than runs scored (sometimes) and don't usually subsantiate much more, unless he's in a situation which won't give the Giants the lead or make it a close gome, or in a situation where he won't score too many runs batted in.\n\nThere should be many quality outfielders available in your league's free agent pool.\n\nFurthermore, it really depends on who you have at which position.  You could possibly trade Bonds for pitching if it's weak, or you could try for a 3B or 2Bman.  It really just depends on what your need is.  If you want to post your league ID# (assuming that you're in a public league), I can take a look on what I think you might need improving on.\n\nFurthermore, I would consider just keeping him as a bench player.  He may not have too much value right now.\n\nAt this point, you may want to wait for him to get a few hits, HR, RBI, etc...\n\nGood luck.\nCraig

I'm going to give you one piece of advice, never, ever sit a star because that is when they decided to breakout.  Keep Jackson and Walker in your lineups.  As far as Colston goes, keep an eye on his status but he was close to going last week and should be fine this week.

First of all if Figgins somehow clears waivers get him back.  That wasn't a good move.  Castillo is pretty much worthless at 2B.  If you don't get Figgins back,  Polanco, Durham or even Hudson would be improvements.  Bench Mench until he gets hot, Move Huff to OF and I guess use Overbay at UTil.  Cut Sele and Sanchez from your pitching staff.  Burgos of KC or  Sosa of the Braves are actually closing and are available.  As for SP Sele could best be replaced by Nolasco or Lilly.  As you have just one closer maybe dropping both Sanchez and Sele for closers would work just as well as grabbing a SP and a closer.  Mike Cameron would be an upgrade from Shawn Green so I'd make that move as well.  You're allowed unlimited moves, so I'd drop Martin for Napoli of the Angels.  You could always get Martin back later if needed.

I picked up Zimmerman when Pujols went on the DL. He's very consistent and with Soriano ahead of him, he gets plenty of chances at knocking him in.....Over long term course of the season, he's the better choice, imo.

i'd go with pedro, due to the run support that the mets have, he's a pretty solid option from start to finish...there's a slight risk for injury unfortunately, but i think it's worth it.  if you have something against martinez or the mets, then i suggest going with chris carpenter.

I would keep Lee and Sheffield.\n\nTejada's numbers have the best chances of going down based upon the rest of that lineup and team chemistry.\n\nAlthough, if you drop Sheffield, because OF has so much depth, you may be able to get him back and minimal cost or a good draft location (depending on the draft type).\n\nI think you are set with any of the three.
