How can I improve my fantasy team?

This is a follow up to my last question. My current roster is again below. My league has 12 teams, 5 x 5 categories BA, R, RBI, HR, SB, W, K, ERA, WHIP, Sv.





As of now I am getting this point break down. Any trade ideas, advice?

Think about trading some of your pitchers for guys who produce at the plate.





In fantasy leagues lead off guys arent the most useful players, because there is often nobody on base when they come up to bat which limits RBIs and they dont have the power to produce big HR numbers. They are good for racking up stolen bases though.





Think about something like Orlando Hernandez and Capuano for JJ Hardy. A 2 for 1 trade might be able to save you from having to give up Dice K or Beckett. If you cant get a 2 for 1 Id look at something like the afformentioned for A Rod or Prince Fielder.





Id also ditch someone like Corey Hart who doesnt play everyday.





To the guy above me, you must not understand scoring because he is 1 or 2 in the league in the major pitching catagories.
Reply:You need better pitching. Beckett and Dice--K are your only standout guys.





Phil Hughes is hurt and won't be on the mound til July - Drop him


Rincon is a setup guy and doesnt get wins or saves


Find some starters who can get wins and Ks





Sosa has slowed down, try and trade him for pitching
Reply:ummm you could actually call your players by their real names...for example jackson connor should be Connor Jackson. they might play better for you if you knew their names, that and if they didnt suck so bad.
