How do you like my fantasy baseball team? better before or after this trade?

Question

Standard yahoo 5x5 rotisserie league

Before Trade:

C Kelly Shoppach

1b Derrek Lee

2b Alexei Ramirez

3b Alex Rodriguez

ss JJ Hardy

of Corey Hart, Ichiro Suzuki, Ryan Ludwick

util Curtis Granderson

bn David DeJesus/ Mike Aviles/ Cody Ross

sp: John Lackey, Scott Kazmir, Tim Lincecum, Edinson Volquez, Ervin Santana

rp: Mariano Rivera, Brian Fuentes, Mike Gonzalez, Carlos Marmol

Trade

Give: Ludwick, Granderson, Santana, Volquez

Get: Matt Holliday, Jake Peavy, Joe Nathan, Billy Wagner

So after the trade, what do you think? was it a good move?

Answer 1

You already had plenty of SPs, so you did well.  Santana's been really good and I have a feeling Volquez won't get better (it would be a tough task).  Holliday is a no-brainer, plus you got 2 of the top 6 RPs.  I like it.  Hang on to Lincecum, though.

Answer 2

Good team ... but still better after the trade.

Answer 3

Solid.  Your catching is terrible as is your bench.  But the trade was a good move because you get 2 lights-out closers and a big power bat.  Ludwick is going to plummet so trading him now is very smart.
