If you can pick up Freeman, than forget about Konerko.

There's always a couple managers who romanticize Ichiro and Bedard, so try pawning them off on someone whose stacked at 1B. Forget about 3B, other than A.Rod and Beltre and Bautista, it's been the weakest position this year. Young gives you something every single game that helps you with R, AVG or RBI.

Maybe you can do a Latos for Votto kind of deal.

It's a well-balanced attack on that team, but I say give up Ichiro and Bedard for a Konerko type if you can first.

pretty solid team. definately could use some more power/rbi's and i think 1b is the place to do this. i'd try to package hosmer and one of your stud SP (you have many) for a TOP 1b. if you can do this you should be good to go the for the season...injuries aside

You have done something very wrong if your 1B options in a 10 team leaguer are Hosmer and ...

You have done something very wrong if your 1B options in a 10 team leaguer are Hosmer and Trumbo. How can you mismanage a roster so badly that your only options at a very deep position are a couple of rookies?

Sell off one of your OF assets to upgrade at 1B. I would do a 1B/OF swap. Basically trade a stud OF (Kemp or Braun + 1B) for a stud 1B+OF. It would be a 2-for-2 deal where you downgrade an OF position an upgrade at 1B. Similarly your trade partner would downgrade at 1B and upgrade his OF. I suggest pairing one of your studs with Trumbo

Your bench sucks and Ichiro should not be owned in a 10 team league. Dump (or trade) Ichiro and get a decent 5 category producer. Gut your entire bench except Craig. Pick up two useful players...one of whom should be a multi-position eligible player with one of those eligible positions being SS.

Your pitching looks fine...other than Latos. Dump him...and get a SP with solid ratios that is the 4th or 5th starter on a team that is one pace to win 90+ games this season.
