Any advice ideas? 5x5 autodraft league. I seem to be a bit pitcher heavy. There is an innings cap (can't remember what it is, but its the standard yahoo cap) I was thinking about trading one of the starters mid to early season for some offense as all of my starters (except Penny & possibly E Santana) should get many innings baring injury.
May be a little weak in the outfield, unless Garciaparra comes back to his career norms and I can start him at first, shifting Dunn to the OF in place of Mench (whom I hope breaks out)
Piazza at catcher? He went undrafted and I dropped LaRue for him. I figure Piazza has more upside, and if/when he gets hurt again, I doubt LaRue gets picked up. Barrajas out of Texas is still available, should I grab him?
Any thoughts on Bobby Crosby? He's another one I'm looking at replacing should Garciaparra come back and actually stay healthy since he'd qualify at SS still. Edwin Encarnacion is still available and looking like he could rake for the Reds this year, should I try him over Crosby w/ Garciaparra or Lopez sliding to SS? I could put weeks at 2nd and slide Lopez pretty easy.
I traded Scott Kazmir & Casey Blake for Melvin Mora & Rowand. Good trade? Kazmir has struggled this spring, and I should have enough pitching if he pitches as expected. Blake is available on the wire now as the guy dropped him, should I try to pick him back up for 3B & OF depth?
Thanks.
