Your pitching is fine.





The fact that Sabathia and Verlander have gotten off to really slow starts is just bad luck. Carmona and Lohse have been good pitchers so far, and Webb is best in April (15 - 2 2.70 ERA)





Also the fact that you have Lackey coming back off the DL doesn't hurt either. You really have nothing to be worried about when it comes to your pitching.





Let guys settle into grooves and their wins and better ERA will come. You have a great pitching staff, they have just fallen on some hard times right now.





If you really wanted an upgrade, try it at closer. Izzy is your best followed by Sherrill. I would suggest seeing if you could package Saito and somebody for a top 5 closer (Papelbon, Putz, K-rod, Rivera, Nathan) and maybe you can lower your ERA with one of them.





Good luck!!
Reply:I think you need to be patient. Verlander %26amp; Sabathia should come around and then with Webb you'll have 3 solid SPs, with Carmona and Volquez as decent SP4 %26amp; SP5.





If you want to make a deal, try to get value for Sabathia. Others might disagree, but I like Greinke %26amp; Brett Meyers as potential sleeper top 20 guys this year.
Reply:I would dump Lackey. He is out for at least two more weeks. He is of no good to you sitting on the DL. Pick up Todd Wellermeyer, Micah Owings,or Ryan Dempster. They should be available.I gave the same advice to another guy in your situation. I have had great luck with all three.
