I've got a little bit of a pickle. I took over a team that finished dead last in a 20 team 5X5 HTH league 2 years ago and eeked into respectability last season. With a 20 team league my roster was more than a bit thin especially when you figure it was a bottom feeder the year before. I do have some good youth, but I still lack much quality in my SP. Here's my roster
Batters
C Kenji Johjima (Sea - C)
1B Adrián González (SD - 1B)
2B Plácido Polanco (Det - 2B)
3B Adrián Béltre (Sea - 3B)
SS J.J. Hardy (Mil - SS)
OF Adam Jones (Bal - OF)
OF Dave Roberts (SF - OF)
OF Nate McLouth (Pit - OF)
Util Jay Bruce (Cin - OF)
BN Moisés Alou (NYM - OF)
BN Shin-Soo Choo (Cle - OF)
BN Mark Ellis (Oak - 2B)
BN Franklin Gutiérrez (Cle - OF)
BN Chin-lung Hu (LAD - SS)
BN Ryan Ludwick (StL - OF)
BN Matt Stairs (Tor - 1B,OF)
Pitchers
SP James Shields (TB - SP)
SP Sean Marshall (ChC - SP)
RP Carlos Mármol (ChC - RP)
RP José Valverde (Hou - RP)
P Luke Hochevar (KC - P)
P Ubaldo Jiménez (Col - SP)
P Heath Bell (SD - RP)
BN Boof Bonser (Min - SP)
BN Zach Duke (Pit - SP)
Taxi Squad
Chris Volstad (SP - Fla)
Jaime Garcia (SP - Stl)
Chris Perez (RP - Stl)
Jordan Schafer (OF - ATL)
Neftali Feliz - (RP - Tex)
I've been told that Chien Ming Wang and Adam Wainright are available. I was offered Wainright for Jones and Hochevar. Does that sound reasonable? He said he's interested in Hochevar, Marmol, Gutierrez, Jones, and Jimenez. Hochevar seems to be the least valuable and with Gutierrez, Bruce, and Schafer as a core group for years to come Jones is expendable for a potential ace. AW was money after the break.
