Should i be panicking i have a .500 record good for 7th in my pool? Should i wait it out for Tulo to get back? Give me some names to look for and some ideas please. Letter grade for active team and letter grade if my team had no injuries. Please be in depth. Thanks very much

Answer 1

try and get a better shortstop like rejes... offer the guy tulowitzski and zimmerman and see if he bites then if not go after a guy like Aramas rimirez for tulo and zimmerman.. try and trade both your dl guys for a great guy at one position..

Answer 2

Tulo isn't coming back. Drop him and pick up Orlando Cabrera or David Eckstein.Try to trade Hill for Chris Perez because he will be named closer soon.Also Theriot is better than Hill. Grady Sizemore is very streaky right now bench him and start Ellsbury or Francouer. You don't need Snyder,Molina is good. Brandon Lyon is not a very good closer try to get Todd Jones or Manny Corpas. Trade Francouer for Jay Bruce.

Good luck in your league.

Team w/o injuries: A-

Team Now: B+

Don't panic just tell me how and if the moves worked out. It's about to the 1/2 way point just coast 'till then.

Answer 3

You have tons of speed (Ellsbury is on fire), an average batting average and little power. Your infield is very weak especially.

Since you don't need all those steals, I'd try to trade Sizemore and Kershaw for Chipper and an average pitcher (like Duchscherer). Sizemore has a bad average and 30 home run power, and Chipper would give you 40 home run power with a better average (and RBIs). Kershaw looks risky fantasy wise...like last years Homer Bailey (who tanked). It might be safer to trade him while his value is high (DeWitt could be thrown in the deal too).

Your top 4 pitchers are good and you have good closers. I wouldn't drop Kershaw, but he's a liability. Your OF is impressive. Don't trade Ellsbury (he's getting better and better). Kelly Johnson has his moments, but a better 2B won't be bad either.

Don't panic, Fielder is just now remembering how to hit the ball hard. A one or two more HR/RBI hitters with good averages and you will be climbing the standings.

Answer 4

your pitching seems good although you can try to improve on either your catcher or your thirdbase. Overall its definitely a playoff worthy team that just has two good players injured.
