Help me win my Fantasy League!

[nyG]

Hey everyone I'm currently in an ESPN H2H League with 11 of my boys from school. I didn't think I had a great draft but a few sleepers and free agency additions really surprised me with the output. This thing is for cash so I really want to win it because I'm greedy like that. I feel like I'm lacking in a few areas and want to make some trades and acquisitions, but most of the free agents out there are crap so trades would be ideal. I think I need to address pitchers and catcher. Here's my roster, due to the fact that my commissioner is retarded we have a DH spot instead of utility, and DH is limited to a select number of batters.

C- Miguel Olivo
1B- Derrek Lee
2B- Chase Utley
3B- Aramis Ramirez
SS- Miguel Tejada
LF- Alfonso Soriano
CF- Vernon Wells
RF- Carlos Quentin
DH- Kevin Millar

Bench: 1B- Adam LaRoche, CF/RF- Shane Victorino, 2B- Orlando Hudson, LF/CF/RF- Ryan Church, C- Yadier Molina, LF/CF- Michael Bourn.

SP's: Justin Verlander, Scott Kazmir, Tim Lincecum, Edinson Volquez, Ervin Santana, Hiroki Kuroda.

RP's: K-Rod, Takashi Saito, Joakim Soria, CJ Wilson, Salomon Torres

Flex Pitchers (can be SP or RP): Todd Wellemeyer, Jonathan Sanchez

EDIT: We start 5 of our SP's and 5 of our RP's every week.

Any Suggestions?

Wow do NOT touch ur pitching... that can win u the league. I'd put in Church in for Millar just my opinion.

hey thanks for the comment, which 5 SPs/RPs do you think are the best combinations for me to start weekly? And I would love to have Church in my lineup but not only is he on the DL, but he can't DH. DH is limited to who ESPN declares is DH eligible, otherwise I probably wouldn't have Millar at all.

EDIT: Verlander has been a little bit of a disappointment for being my first drafted pitcher.

I am currently in 2nd (3.5 games back) from first place in my division.

Vernon Wells is on the DL, try to get Jay Bruce if possible. Hes a rookie and tearing it up.

^ Vernon Wells was activated from the DL a few days ago.

[nyG]

^yes sir, and as for Jay Bruce, he is definitely unavailable, but I think after second base, outfield is probably the least of my worries

[cruzg24]

Keep Olivo he's ur best option. I kind of see a lack in SB's, u can get the SB's from victorino since he has 13 so far this year and will get many more. For some reason I just find ur OF unstable, cuz Soriano get can get cold rather quickly and Quentin is having a monster year but he hasnt shown yet that he can sustain it. And Wells is just coming off the DL.... Im prolly wrong Im just saying have some insurance bench player in the wings just in case.

offer sexual favors to get the best guys..its that easy ERIC!!


plus bench verlander but hold on to him incase he starts to break out

[nyG]

haha you sick bastard Peej. I'm sure I could buy someone off with alcohol instead. As for Verlander, I contemplate starting him every damn week but end up leaving him in thinking "this is the week" lol

lol thank goodness for that, he's on my fantasy team as well. I think he can right the ship.

OHHHH WAT DID I TELL YOU!?!??!?! Soriano has a broken bone in his left hand and is likely to miss up to six weeks.
