    I may not tell you what you want to hear but I'll be honest with my answers and give explainations as to why or why not to make a trade or a move.

      I am in salary cap league and currently have $20 cap space. I'm going to pick up Derosa for $15 and Escobar for $5. I'd like to upgrade third base and probably outfield just having doubts about Ethier. At 3b only guy worth a darn is Mark Reynolds he is $14. For outfield Vlad guerrero for $24 is out there, Magglio Ordonez $21, Mike Cameron $10, Juan Pierre for $9, Foukodome $10, and Abreau for $24 are only reasonable options. What would you do to make my team better? I'm toying with dumping belliard, and wolf and adding pierre. Is Pierre really better then Vlad now can't believe i can say i think he is. Thanks for help.

      catcher victor martinez $17
      1st base Joey Votto $17
      2nd base Jose Lopez $14
      ss Hanley Ramirez $40
      3b Hank Blalock $9
      OF Mclouth $26
      OF Damon $16
      OF Ethier $17
      Util Carlos Pena $18

        i'd say dump jose lopez he's garbage and is going to lose playing time. i like jaun pierre a lot, and for only $9 you get a lot of value out of him. vlad for $24 or jaun for $9 i think that's a no brainer. either will be fine when manny gets back in the line up. ronnie belliard should have been off your roster after week one. escabor is a good price as well but not sure how his health is he may be heading to the dl so keep an eye out. i'd try and trade ervin santana i think it's going to take him quite some time to get back in the groove of things.

        Pierre for $9 is great value i'm just worried that i'll have to burn another waiver move when Manny comes back or Ethier and Pierre could take away each others playing time even worse case scenario lol. Probably answering own question but should i just go pierre then when manny comes back hopefully vlad gets it together and then get him? and just accept it that i'll have 2 moves left. Also is escobar worth the gamble to get he looked good last minor league start and only $5 i figure it's worth the gamble cause next week i may not get him thanks again for help you get 5 stars.

      the only category that I am above 5 is whip...which i have 8. So, i obviously need help and probably need to trade pujols...even though i don't want to.The best offers i have gotten were Broxton, Francisco, and Helton...for Pujols....and Butler, Longoria, and Beckett for Pujols.

        you will be fine when doumit and aramis comes back...the only question is when that will be. see if zach duke has any trade value since he's been pitching well, pittsburgh is terrible and his numbers are solid right now you need outfield help desperately...i'd also try and trade quentin he still has name value and get yourself some guys that will hit you .300+ for the rest of the season, you could probably get a guy like helton or tejada for cheap and they will produce for you again at a cheap cost to you.

        if lind doesn't play for your team and you need an ace this is a fair trade. i'd try and see if you can get a lower end closer thrown in the deal to help with cheap saves as votto is nasty, and even though you dont use lind everyday he still has a LOT of value to someone that needs some depth.

        You play alexei and Uggla over Soriono?! I certainly hope not. But I doubt that will be enough to get Tex since Soriono has been struggling and Lowe is a middle of the road pitcher on a very mediocre Braves team. However, I would definitely propose it...if that doesn't work I'd try soriono and Lind. Or I'd give him his choice of Lower or Lester to give him options.
