Answer 1

your team is bad, your only standout player is jose reyes, who'd you draft second round? i can't even tell. i'm in a league with 12 teams and mine is way better than yours. i mean sure duchscherer is good and cliff lee is good now but they won't be by the end of the season. you have daisuke who walks a billion batters and hudson fell off after his great start and you're hitting is worse than your pitching. you have no power. and two homerun hitters don't cut it.

Answer 2

Unlike the first answerer, I'll state your goods and bads.

First of all, your pitching is awesome. Duchscherer is the leading AL ERA, and Lee is second. Matsuzaka has only 1 loss and Hudson is like an ace. Even your reserve pitchers are good. Lester has a low ERA and Lilly can strikeout an awful lot of batters. And your closers are pretty darn good. Soria is arguably the best "quality" closer in the AL, and Lyon is one good closer too. No need to change your pitchers.

Now, your hitting is fairly good, but not the best. Casilla isn't that great for a second baseman (I prefer trading for one or picking one up) and I don't think you have a good outfield. Fukudome started off hot, but has cooled off and can only get on base right now, not much power. Kemp scores a lot and can steal bases, but not much power either. Lewis is a combo of the two, on-base, steal, and runs, but no power at all. Your lineup has good batting average, lots of runs, and pretty good amount of steals, but not much power. Ramirez, Huff, and Giambi can generate some homers but they aren't enough. I prefer trading for one, either trade one of your beastly pitchers or one of your on-base guys, for a power hitter. Since your outfield is a little weak at hitting, I think trading Dan Haren for Ryan Braun is a good deal. As for your second baseman, I think trade Matt Kemp for B.J. Upton or Brian Roberts.

9/10 for now. Maybe after your trades, a 9.5/10.
