WOW..nothing personal dude, but that team is brutally bad..

your starting pitching is horrendous

you have closer issues to say the least (you have one closer)

you need major power and rbi help to say the least

problem is, is that you have dont have really  anything for trade value that by trading wouldnt decimate your team even more than it is.

next year is your best hope

Yah that team is really bad and you need to drop a lot of those guys.  Not sure how the others in your league are and who's left but I would drop:

ok fair enough...no hard feelings. So I took your information and applied it this morning...

added - Casey Blake, Matt Lindstrom, Antonio Bastardo & Brandon Beachy.

Dropped - Carlos Z. Mike Gonzalex, Evan Meek, hideki M.

have a trade pending ...

trade - Ichiro Suzuki, Roy Halladay, Ryan Theriot, Denard Span for

Josh Tomlin, Joakim Soria, Jason Bay, Jay Bruce, Dustin Pedroia.

 

How about now?

first off..dont like that trade at all for you..you are giving up your best hitter as far as average goes (along with runs and steals) and you are giving up maybe the best starting pitcher in baseball...

what are you catagories in your head to head league??

and can you give us a list of free agents you can pick up??  hitters and pitchers

@ashland - can't see how i can copy and paste the hitters and pitchers...

categories -

Batting	Batting Average (AVG) Home Runs (HR) Runs Scored (R) Runs Batted In (RBI) Stolen Bases (SB) Slugging Pct (SLG) On Base Pct (OBP)
Pitching	Earned Run Average (ERA) Strikeouts (K) Walks plus Hits Per Innings Pitched (WHIP) Wins (W) Saves (SV) On Base Pct Against (OBA) Quality Starts (QS)

 

You are right that he is my best hitter right now, but no one is hitting in baseball right now. Weather has sucked ass and my bats will wake up. How don't you think the trade helps? I pick up  2 bats and a closer. Yes, I did give up Roy but I have to give to get no?

so HOLDS is not a catagory??  then you have no need for any middle releivers...drop them all for sure

and if this is a 12 team league...most of the guys that JW1LS suggested that you pick up off waiver wire will not be there, they will be gone for sure...that is why we need a list of free agents available (hitters and pitchers)

pedroia is the only consistant hitter you got in return..bruce and bay will not only kill your average, but they both have other issues of their own...soria may not even be a closer come midseason if he gets traded..tomlin off to a nice start for the tribe - but he is unproven to say the least and it is only 20 or so games into the season....i hope this was not a money league

yep..horrible pitchers on the wire...drop mike gonzalez, meek, and rodney..and pick up the hitters i told you to get - DON'T DO THAT TRADE.

only saw that first page of pitchers....this needs to be your 5 starting pitchers....HALLADAY, ROMERO, BRETT MYERS, DEREK HOLLAND AND EITHER JEREMEY GUTHRIE OR DICE K

None of those closers are available that I listed?  Sergio Santos is another guy you can look at (could be taking over the closing job for CHW).  

Immediately pick up Aroldis Chapman
