1B - Justin Morneau

2B - Robinson Cano

SS - Carlos Guillen

3B - Aramis Ramirez

MI - Howie Kendrick

CI - Evan Longoria

OF - Lance Berkman

OF - Jacoby Ellsbury

OF - Carl Crawford

OF - Carlos Gomez

OF - Adam Lind

UT - Chris Davis

UT - Mike Jacobs (waiting for David Ortiz to come back)

BN - Nomar Garciaparra

Relief Pitchers I already roster:

Bobby Jenks

Octavio Dotel

Mike Gonzalez

JP Howell

Brian Wilson

JJ Putz

I'm a big fan of Willingham's and I'm concerned that the other owner might be taking advantage of that in this deal.

Looks like a good deal for me, but wanted to check in with the board experts.

In a word: NO!!!!!

Thanks dude. As much as I liked Willingham, it wasn't passing the sniff test.

Where are you at in terms of steals and homers (and maybe RBI)? Where are you overall?

I guess those are the question here, although Willingham is no lock for even 15hrs here on out. If you're sitting nice in SBs, this could be worth it. Now is the time to make something happen or it will be too late. But....

Do you think you could shop Ellsbury's legs for more than Willingham? I think the answer is yes here.

I've got 6 pts in HR and 7 pts in RBI, but I'm only 8 HR and 18 RBI from moving both of those point totals up to 10Steals are tricky. The guy in first is the guy I acquired Ellsbury from a few weeks ago. He's about 70 steals ahead of the guy in second, so that's a done deal. There's a pack of us from 2nd-5th place. I'm in 5th, but only 3 steals from being in third. I'm 4th in runs, and 11 runs out of third.
