Dont worry about USCfan, he's obviously under the impression that starting pitchers pitch every day. Hmm, it depends who is in your waiver pool, if nobody good is there, keep ur pitchers for now, the first guy u should drop if u happen to see a pitcher that catches ur eye, is Lowry or Garland, both are in my waiver pool at the moment in the same type of league. U could prolly fetch a high price for one of ur SS, renteria is too talented for the bench, so try and trade him for a 3b (ryan freel just doesnt cut it). Dont be afraid to deal Uggla if the opportunity presents himself, he is way overrated. By the looks of it, u could use some more power in ur outfield too. Well, i hope i helped, and good luck!! (unless of course u happen to be in one of my leagues, in which case i just shot myself in the foot, lol)
Reply:why do you have dan haren on the bench for a guy like bonser?


try picking up oliver perez from waivers. He'll get you alot of strikeouts and he is on a good team so get you some wins. I would try trading away renteria cuz you already have Furcal, and a pitcher for a better thirdbase. Possibly David Wright. He's getting hot right now.
Reply:Try picking up Kelly Johnson, 2B for the Braves. He is hitting great this year, and most likely can be taken off free agency. Also try J.J. Hardy, who was/is leading the NL in homers.





Benitez and Bonser will probably blow up by years end. Try getting Hudson, Linscomb, or Phil Hughes, rookie for the Yankees.
Reply:i would try to trade roy halladay for jake peavy he is lights out right now
Reply:Honestly, I would get rid of Garland from your staff, he seems like the worst option you have at the moment. He has less than spectacular numbers and doesnt belong on your staff. I guess if Phil Hughes is available, maybe pick up a guy like him. Or like others have said, Oliver Perez is a great pickup, although I highly doubt he is there.





And also, anyone else from the A's pitching staff, like Gaudin or Blanton are good pickups for a few starts if you need that. Both are pitching well.





Jason Marquis and Jack Cust are both overrated. Each will fan out by midseason, you should definitely trade them while they are both hot. Marquis has been known to struggle after the all-star break, and Cust just isn't what people make him out to be. Trade both while their value is still sky high.





Freel might be the best choice you have for 3B, unless you try and trade for one. FA 3b's arent that deep it seems, freel will be your best choice.





You could buy low on Ryan Zimmerman, who is soon gonna come out of his slump, he already pretty much has. People have been frustrated with him, and will probably be willing to give him up for cheap.





Also, as other people have said, renteria is way too good to be sitting on your bench. The way he is hitting, he should be good enough to be in anyone's starting lineup. Use him as trade bait as well to get an OF better than Willingham.





Your staff is very solid as it is, but I dont think Garland deserves a spot on your staff.





Use marquis, renteria and cust as trade bait to get a talented 3b or OF that you need. Maybe try and package them for a guy like Carlos Lee or a Vernon Wells
