DL - Al Reyes (FA)

Dropped Iwamura after getting Burnett off the DL. Successfully claimed Roy Oswalt off waivers and simultaneously dropped Kelly Johnson. Update: Dropped Burnett for Crisp.

Yahoo! experts are suggesting owners should trade Haren & Penny because they won't perform as well in the 2nd half. Although I have a multitude of pitching prowess on my roster I don't know that I really need to make a move right now. I'm not really competitive in the HR department on a weekly basis, but I still average an 8-5-1 victory.

Abreu and a pitcher for Matt Holliday?
Abreu and a pitcher for Carlos Beltran?
Abreu and a pitcher for Corey Hart?

Maybe a 2-for-1 deal so I could pick up a worthy free agent?

Who's available:
~~- Atkins: help in HR & RBI, but AVG is hurting~~
~~- Crisp: help in SB & R~~
- Kendrick: help in R & AVG (don't really need)
- Sosa: help in HR & RBI, but low AVG and lots of Ks
- A. Gordon: will probably yield the same #s as Abreu, only he's hotter now
- K. Johnson: I just dropped him, but he might outperform Abreu
~~- Polanco: help in R & AVG (don't really need)~~
- S. Stewart: pretty hot right now
~~- Adam LaRoche: normally a 2nd half stud~~
~~- DeRosa: eligibility at 2B, 3B and OF; raking in the RBI recently~~
- D. Johnson: perhaps on a Cust-like HR streak
- Wilkerson: HR, but low average
- B. Francisco: 3 HR in last 4 games
- Loney: looks pretty solid and will now start at 1B

Records coming into this week (July 2 - July 8):

R: 7-4-1
HR: 4-6-2
RBI: 7-5-0
SB: 6-6-0
K: 6-6-0
E: 7-4-1
AVG: 7-5-0

W: 7-2-3
L: 5-3-4
SV: 8-3-1
K: 11-1-0
HLD: 8-4-0
ERA: 6-6-0
WHIP: 8-4-0

Make the claim and those are the 2 drops you should make.

An owner just dropped Roy Oswalt?!

My pitching is pretty stout even with Shields in a 3-game funk, but should I try to get him off waivers? It's highly doubtful since I'm priority #7 (of 10).

I still have Burnett on the DL, so I would have to come up with 2 guys to drop.

I figure the most likely candidates are Kelly Johnson and Iwamura.

80-49-11 Record; Currently in 1st by 8 games. Struggling in HR and SB. But I think picking up Figgins has helped in the SB department.

I'm thinking about dropping Iwamura for HR help, but then I'd have to figure out someone else to drop when Burnett comes off the DL. Howard has started to come around now, Hawpe has been hot lately and Chipper is off the DL, so maybe I should just hold off (I only have 27 more moves remaining [out of 50]).

Available:
Adam LaRoche, Inge, Chris B. Young, Gomes, B. Harris, Dmitri Young, Lamb, Tulowitzki, Alex Gordon, Sammy Sosa

Any suggestions?

A while back I dropped Clemens and snatched up Lincecum before the team behind me could pull the trigger (the owner said I beat him by about 20 seconds).

Iwamura is now off the DL, but who do I drop to give him a spot?

Kinsler has been sitting on my bench for the last few weeks (too many Es and no pop), even with injuries to Ibanez, Howard and Chipper. The only pitcher that I think I could part with is Cain because I've been sitting him as well for inconsistencies.

The roster listed a few posts earlier is the same except for the Lincecum add and Clemens drop.

I keep packaging Kinsler and Cain in deals, but no one is biting. My worst records are in ERA, WHIP, SV and SB.

There is a pretty good list of players recently dropped that I wouldn't mind adding to my team, but I have no room. If I were to drop Kinsler and Cain, I'd have one open spot for:

Kevin Gregg, Heath Bell, Chris B. Young, Josh Hamilton, Brad Hawpe, Adam LaRoche, Kaz Matsui, Chone Figgins, Boof Bonser or Yovani Gallardo.

I would have held onto Lincecum, I would not be dropping anyone for Carmona -- he allows too many batted balls to be successful all year. Pence is tempting, but I would not drop KInsler for him -- Kinsler will be fine. If you want to get rid of Kinsler, I am sure you could get Phillips for him though.

Lincecum looked great last night.

RE: Rate this team

I dropped Lincecum to pick up Burnett, figuring that this might be Lincecum's last start.

Hunter Pence and Fausto Carmona are the two hottest guys on the wire right now.

I'm really starting to think I should just drop Clemens and Kinsler and pick up these two guys. There's no telling how much longer they'll be available and it will take a while to find a decent trade.

What catagories do you have? You mention strikeouts and errors so I know it is not a 5x5 league.

I'm definitely looking to move Clemens. I keep wanting to pull the trigger on Kinsler now that he's mired in a huge slump, plus he's killing me with 8 errors. Uggla's strikeouts aren't helping me, but I'm not getting too much power from guys like Howard or Abreu right now. I could probably get a good deal in trading Howard.

I'd like to trade for someone like Brandon Phillips, Furcal, Chris B. Young or Saito.
