Answer 1

Fisrt off, get Pence in your lineup and get Crede out of there. His numbers are inflated by his huge April, but he's fading fast.

Other than that, your full of proven stars who will start producing or are producing. THe only improvement you could make is dropping Burns (he's a bum) for another closer. YOu could use the bump in saves.

You might try packaging a couple of your extra bench players for a proven closer like Papelbon.

This must be a pretty shallow league to have this kind of team and still be struggling.

Answer 2

Are you purposely spelling some of the players' names wrong? Well, anyway, I don't see why your team is struggling at all. In fact, I think you should be well among the top 3 teams in your league (are you?) My team is worse than yours and is currently 4th. Back to the problem. First, say bye to Eric Burns, you won't require him for some time being. Your outfield looks pretty solid, and the only change i would recommend is to switch Nady or Crawford with Pence, or sit Texiera for Pence at Util. Yeah, Utley is killing pitchers right now, and yeah, Lincecum and Volquez are young aces. You should try making some trades, deal some of your benchers for a few more pitchers, especially some good relievers like Mariano or K-Rod. Also, you can get some great players in return if you are willin to deal Jose Reyes or Edinson Volquez. Lance Berkman and Josh Hamilton are players you should acquire, so deal Justin Morneau and Nady for Berkman and try acquiring Hamilton for someone like Texeira packaged with Pence and Jackson. With Berkman, Utley, and Hamilton, your hitting will rule your league. Plus, if you manage to get Chipper Jones (hope his eye isn't bothering him too much) you will have the Elite Four in your team. That leaves pitching. Sabathia, Bedard and Beckett have high ERAs so try trading them for lower ERA and underrated players who are performin real well, since these three are considered "aces". I think everybod would want to acquire them, so yeah, you can modify your trade requests a bit.
