I'm first in the league and want to get a stud pitcher.

Maybe sell high with Shields too and package them together. But if I were you I'd try and get someone to take Santana or Wang. If you really think Hardy's gonna go south, you wouldn't be giving up too much to trade both for one guy. Smoltz is pitching well and getting support. Haren and Peavy are definite studs. The trouble is there aren't many people who are willing to part with stud pitchers, and many people think similarly that J.J.'s headed for a tumble. I can't get rid of him in my league where he's stuck not playing cause I got Reyes. Maybe think about trading Jeter, or even dropping Torres or Santana for someone on waivers, like Fausto Carmona or Claudio Vargas. Both guys have great peripheral numbers and look like they can keep it up all year. Stay away from Marquis or J. Sosa though.
Reply:You can get a stud pitcher for him. Such as Oswalt or Arroyo. But if you're gonna trade Hardy, sell HIGH. Oh, and since you're in first, I wouldn't make any changes to your starting lineup unless you start to see a downfall.
Reply:Better idea, unless you can somehow get Jose Reyes to fill his SS position, hold onto him and ride him to ur league championship. I'm from Wisconsin and there is no end in sight for this guy, he was injured nearly all last year so he didn't get a chance.
Reply:you should be able to acquire an SP for him. I would imagine a #3 starter would be fair for someone hurting in the SS slot.
Reply:You won't gert a stud for Hardy - everyone is aware how he has never stayed healthy and is also streaky historically. And if you have someone the caliber of Lewis in your UTIL slot, your team isn't as good as you think it is. Being in 1st place in a roto league any time prior to August 1st means nothing. I have been dead last with mid-June coming and won a roto league going away. Don't be arrogant about your place in the standings - it will come back and bite you square in the ****.
