What should I do to better my team, I want SP who should I trade to get it?
get rid of harden.... he's a lost cause.... pick up an utility player for your offense... other than that,,, you have a great pitching staff.... wickman should go
Reply:I think your pitching is really good, but I'd bet this league only has like 6 or 7 owners. If that's the case then I guess it really isn't that good. Carp and Harden will help when they get back their rotation spots.





I would keep Willis and Wickman. I'd drop Rogers and Gaudin, cause hey wont get as many K's, and you've got good ERA guys to help keep that down.
Reply:I would make a trade and trade both of them for a better player then maybe trade that player for something you need. I would trade Wicky and Willis for a guy like Juan Pierre, with your team there is no way you are winning stolen bases. Or move Brian Roberts to a team that needs a second baseman and then move A. Jones to your Util spot. You need to make some moves come playoff time and unlike many teams you have the players to move.





Good luck
Reply:Wickman definetly, he's like 38 years old and Rafael Soriano is a better pitcher and if Wickman struggles, Soriano will get the saves. I would also look to trade Roberts and Gaudin or Willis or Rogers for a better pitcher, possibly Chris Young or Ben Sheets. I would also consider trading for Pedro Martinez because comes playoff time he will be back and healthy and than be a top starter.
Reply:In this case, Gaudin would be the first to drop.





Instead of dropping anyone else, work out a 2 for 1 deal for the other SP you are looking for.





You didn't show if you have any bench batters, so who you get depends on who you give up.





Santana is always the best choice for the 2nd half.


So, how about something like Utley and Wickman (who you could drop) or Rogers for Santana and just put Roberts in as your 2B.
Reply:I would try to see if someone will fall for a package of Andruw Jones and Willis for an upper-level SP. Harden may well be done for the year (again!!!), and I feel your pain there. Any time a guy throws 2.2 innings after a DL stint and then has to visit Dr. Yocum, it is never good. Carpenter is not a given either. If you could get a very good SP for those two, I would do it in a minute. Jones has hurt your team enough for one year, as has Willis. Try to move them before nobody will give you anything for them.
