OK, here is my sitiation: Had our draft last Saturday (yahoo) and due to a computer malfunction and a draft list I had made up just for my viewing, I have ended up with a pitching heavy team (although closers are suspect) and a terrible offensive team. My one big player on offense is Ryan Braun.

I had a bunch of guys (6) that didn't make their squad but were autopicked because of their overall yahoo rating. I had to scramble this week and pick up waiver wire guys to field my team.

Braun is really not going to do much for me by himself, so I am thinking of using him to get some more balance.

It is an NL only rotisserie league

Here is my team:

C - Miguel Montero, Nick Hundley

1B - Travis Ishikawa

2B - Emilio Bonifacio (named Marlins starting 3B this week)

3B - Chase Headley

SS - Alex Gonzalez

MI - Emmanuel Burris

CI - Felipe Lopez

OF - Ryan Braun, Cameron Maybin, Josh Willingham, Ryan Spilborghs, Jordan Schafer, Dexter Fowler

SP - Cole Hammels, Dan Haren, Carlos Zambrano, Chad Billingsley, Adam Wainwright, Manny Para

RP - Jonathan Broxton, Mike Gonzalez, Ryan Madson

I probably have the best overall starting pitching in the league, but my closers have me concerned. I have no idea how my offence is going to be - doesn't look good imo.

You see my team, what do you think I should do: Get two for one for Braun? If so what type of deal should I look for. Which starting pitchers do you think I should look to move?

Thanks for the help, and leave a link if you like.

I'd definitely lose a catcher and pickup another offensive longshot - like getz (2b CWS) smith (OF/COL) rivera (OF/LAA) - all those guys have a good chance of being ww pickups and producing average stats.

You're in a bad bind here. Your OF is solid as is your SP, but SP seems not that great, considering.

You RP may earn you mid-pack finish, esp. if you are cagey on teh waiver wire.

Your IF is what will probably doom you.

I have to carry two catchers. Also, it is only an NL league.

I might try to trade Hammels and Zambrano for some O. Haren, Billingsly and Wainwright can pick up the slack until you can find a solid waiver move. Maybe look at somebody like Tommy Hanson for the Braves who will start in the minors but will likely be up by mid May. I think you will be fine at closer for now.

I missed the NL only part.Considering that, you look much better.Can you list us the top FAs available?As far as trading Brausn- I think his value is lower than it will be in a few weeks - so I would hold off on moving him. Can you list what trades you were considering?
