Need major suggestions!

Answer 1

Looks like a solid team to me.  Head to Head league, I assume?  You could probably use another closer.  See if you can trade an outfielder (you have lots of depth there) for one.

Answer 2

youve got 3 guys on ur bench doing good this year (huff , ludwick, drew) trade one or two for another closer or starter your hitting looks pretty good
