What are your thoughts? (Please include analysis!)

Answer 1

I guess the other guy never played a 20 team league.ShortStop is not a deep posistion and its cool you have Lowrie in.If it were me im doing a few moves.Im capitolizing on Volguezes huge first half and dealing him.You have some good young guys.I really like Doumit and dont know if I would deal him.You need his average.I do like Scott Baker but not for Doumit.It looks like Putz is going to be closing again too with Morrow going to the minors to become a starter.I would see if you can get a hold of pitchers like Chris Young or Liriano who will have a great rest of the year and just came back.You need to use what you have and try to get a stud somewere.Your best trade bait of someone that will suck the rest of the year is Volquez.

Answer 2

ur team sucks lowrie a starter i know its 20 teams but ur starters r terrible and how r those major moves anyway

Answer 3

if u can do both deals u wont lose any roster spots so thats good and i like the rays to keep up their good habitss and garza is one of their starters so thats a good deal and jason kubel will just be that other guy. scott baker is a good starter to have from a surging team in minnasota and pudge rod will start as soon as he comes back from his bruised knee, or whatever it is. and pudge just seems to win wherever he goes and its due in part to him so i would consider the second deal before the first but i really like garza and pudge to keep up good playing and baker would be good to add to ur good young rotation
