Answer 1

i'd actually get another p if i was u. is rauch available? or taylor buhholz? if they r, drop ludwick for one of them. but if they're not, get banks.

Answer 2

pick up young, drop cantu, pick up lohse, drop jackson, improve in pitching, i recomend trading to get another stud pitcher, maybe jurrjens and crede for some1, then move young or gordon to util, don't be affraid to trade those outfeilders

Answer 3

Looks like you need an upgrade at SP the most.  I would pick up Garza, who looked very good in his start Thursday, and drop Masterson or Jurrjens.  Would possibly consider Lohse for the other one, maybe see what his next start brings and go from there on him, but Dave Duncan has a way of bringing out a starters fullest potential, and Lohse is loaded with potential, maybe career year for him.  I know you didn't ask for my opinion on this, but I would definitely hold onto to Marcum at this point.  He is having a great season for an under-performing Blue Jays club (he'd have more wins if he got a little more run support) and he had a solid 2nd half last year coming into this one.  I have him on my team and I hope that the injury is as harmless as they are making it seem.

I think if you really want Gordon, dropping Cantu for him would be fine.  Cantu has really cooled off of late.

Answer 4

Package up some of your players in trade offers.Try to "soup

up" your offence to the point where you don't need offencive bench "DEAD WEIGHT"..(You're not far off.)

Try sumthen' like-Cantu+Crede for R.Braun,or A.Ramirez

And/or-Escobar+Johnson for B.J.Upton,or B.Phillips

and possibly-Jackson+Markakis for Sizemore,Beltran,or Vlad

YOU WANT TO CLEAR ROOM ON YOUR ROSTER.

Fill these empty roster spots with SPs.(Pitching is the one position where you can over power your opponents by shear

numbers.) And I really like Laffey,Garza,and Baker sitting there on waivers............GO GETTEM'!

~Good Luck!~
