Fantasy Help needed.

[Gallen5862]

He is available lol. What else you think of the roster?

[edabbs44]

I think you need another K pitcher.

[Gallen5862]

I was able to pick up Randy Johnson the other day on waivers. This is my Team now. What do you think would help improve this keeper team?

-

I would say try and find a 1B and maybe a 3B if better options are available.

[Gallen5862]

Thanks CTA513. I will see who is available.

[Gallen5862]

I just added Trot Nixon and dropped Tomko. What you think of the Roster now?

[Gallen5862]

I just traded Gagne for Derrick Turnbow. I wasn't sure if was good deal. I know Turnbow is not a closer but he is still putting up good numbers and Gagne kept getting hurt. What does anyone think?

[Gallen5862]

I added Khalil Greene and dropped Mulder. Here is my Roster now. What else can improve my team?

I picked EE back up and dropped Lohse. I decided to give him a second chance and wait for him to return. What does anyone think?

You don't know how long EE will be in AAA pick someone up who can give you AB's now. Nobody else is going to jump on him if you drop him they would be foolish to do so the way he has hit this year.
