Answer 1

Tough one, but I got A.

Answer 2

C- B   1B-A   2B=    SS- A   3B=  OF=  Util= BN- B SP-A RP=

Answer 3

i say team b,

lyon or ryan i= even

shields or hernandez= b

verlander or litsch= a

soto or guillen= b

if team b can get rid of posada. since they have soto and could get rid of litsch maybe in a deal for a better sp, team b gets it. king felix in that rotation makes it dominant and has depth in a position where not many get production (catchers) hope this helps

Answer 4

Team A

Lee will outhit De Rosa rest of the way.

Guillen will outhit Renteria.

Verlander is coming around, so I'll take him over Litsch rest of the way.

I'd take Ryan over Lyon, but that is close.

Felix vs Shields and Navarro vs Posada are closer than you might think. I'd take Felix and Posada, but Shields and Navarro are both having good seasons.

I think you are going to have to start playing Dunn, once he learns to hit the ball again. Also, you can't put up with Fukudome's empty average all season. If so, you need the average that Lee and Guillen (and Navarro) should bring. Of the four starters involved, I'd rank them:

Verlander

Felix

Shields

Litsch (Litsch is OK, but he's a 4 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 5 K/9 sort of pitcher who has been rocked recently. He is instantly replaceable in a lot of leagues.)

I think you win that one. The closers are a toss-up, both been pretty equal this year. One has health concerns, but a very long leash, the other has exceeded expectations, and still has more compertition from the rest of his bullpen.

The big question is why is Soto on the bench? If you really think he is the third best option at catcher you should trade him.

Answer 5

I think Team A is better. And just in case you didn't know, Troy Percival is on the DL, just a heads up...
