I'm going to start a new thread on my team to ask for assistance, as the previous thread mainly dealt with draft strategy.
Here is the team I drafted:
C- V. Martinez (Cle)
1B- R. Sexson (Sea)
2B- C. Utley (Phi)
3B- M. Mora (Bal)
SS- R. Furcal (LAD)
OF- J. Bay (PIT)
OF- M. Holliday (Col)
OF- J. Gomes (TB)
UTIL- B. Wilkerson (Tex)
UTIL- C. Crisp (Bos)
Hitting categories: R, H, HR, RBI, SB, BB, AVG, OBP, SLG, OPS
SP- R. Harden (Oak)
SP- B. Myers (Phi)
SP- J. Patterson (Was)
SP- E. Bedard (Bal)
RP- B. Ryan (Tor)
RP- T. Gordon (Phi)
P- C. Ray (Bal)
P- M. Gonzalez (Pit)
BN- J. Bonderman (Det)
BN- K. Escobar (LAA)
Pitching categories: IP, W, L, SV, R, HR, BB, K, ERA, K/9
I had problems during the draft and accidentally drafted Furcal instead of H. Matsui, and accidentally drafted D. Bush at the end of the draft (who I've already dropped and picked up Escobar). I also reviewed my ranking sheets and found that I made several errors. I ranked a lot of top of the order hitters above middle of the order hitters for some reason (did it last minute), so thus, you've got the team I have now. Not sure what to do to improve it. Not much on the waiver wire offensively besides Jonny Gomes, Preston Wilson, Luis Gonzalez (Arz), Shea Hillenbrand, Curtis Granderson, Mark Loretta, and Ronnie Belliard.
On the pitching side, there are some good pitchers out there: Chris Young, Francisco Liriano, Loiaza, Wakefield, Jorge Sosa, Daniel Cabrera, and Oliver Perez.
Should I try and trade a pitcher (Bonderman, along with an OF like Crisp or Wilkerson and try to get a power bat? Should I try to trade Crisp and Bonderman for Felipe Lopez and a pitcher (Harang or Radke are two the other owner may give up in that trade) and then turn around and deal Furcal for Jim Thome, whose owner doesn't have a very good SS (O. Cabrera)? Not sure what to do, and would appreciate any advice you can give. Personally, I think I'm a little too "top of the order hitter" heavy and those middle of the order guys I do have (Sexson, Bay, Utley, Guillen, and Martinez may not drive in 100 runs each, which I would need them to do. So I think I need to pick up a power bat somehow.
