I have a good offensive team, but need help in ERA and WHIP--I am currently last in both. With Milledge in AAA, I could use a little speed too. I was approached last night by another GM who needs HRs and RBIs.

His team:

C Ivan Rodriguez, Hou C

1B Lance Berkman, Hou 1B

2B Mike Fontenot, ChC 2B

3B David Wright, NYM 3B

SS Ryan Theriot, ChC SS

2B/SS Alex Gonzalez, Cin SS

1B/3B Casey Kotchman, Atl 1B

OF Matt Kemp, LAD OF

OF Corey Hart, Mil OF

OF Chris Young, Ari OF

OF Rick Ankiel, StL OF

OF Ryan Church, NYM OF

UTIL Colby Rasmus, StL OF

Bench Jerry Hairston Jr., Cin SS,

Bench Travis Ishikawa, SF 1B

Bench Brendan Ryan, StL 2B, SS

P Francisco Rodriguez, NYM RP

P Rich Harden, ChC SP

P Ryan Dempster, ChC SP

P Brett Myers, Phi SP

P Chad Qualls, Ari RP

P Jair Jurrjens, Atl SP

P Carlos Villanueva, Mil RP

P Micah Owings, Cin SP

P Ross Ohlendorf, Pit SP, RP

DL Chris Carpenter*, StL SP DL15

I am looking for trade suggestions that help both, but favor me. I think some in our league overvalue Ps.

Here's a thought, but I haven't proposed anything yet.

I give:

Ludwick and Pelfrey

I get:

Harden and Chris Young

If anything, the above seems to favor him but would be interested in opinions.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe a better way to think about it is who should I be targeting on his team?

Who's his best SP? Harding? Dempster? Jurrjens has the best numbers (early I know), but will that last?

 
I like Ludwick a lot. SP can be had on waivers. Just have a revolving door until you find a guy or two. There will be many, many more SPs around for free than there will be Ludwicks.

 
Post any free agents available. Also why are you still holding onto Milledge? Theres gotta be better avail as free agents. And only one bench slot?

 
your pitching is dreadful (im sure you aklready know this). Id release OPerez and work on picking up free agents. Im not opposed to dealing ludwick but you gotta get better than that

If every owner is active in a 10 team NL only league with those rosters and 3 bench spots, I kinda doubt it.I think the best move you can make is to bench Ollie Perez. That'll help your WHIP and ERA immensely. I really dont see you as being light on speed btw, Victorino is your only guy with a high ceiling for steals, but you've got plenty of contributors. Also, you didnt list your UTIL spot.As for who to target - Jurrjens is the best pitcher with the least risk. But if you're purely swinging for the fences than Harden (and Carpenter if you can) is the guy to target.

Luwick takes away one of your few power bats. You still have Howard and Gonzales, but Ludwick is a 30 HR guy.

Young is trouble.

I would consider offering Ludwick and Pelfrey

for Harden and Jurjens...but definitely not Young.

but maybe you should be happy with what you have and wait for a FA pitcher.
