i just found out that Tejada is dragging my team down, especially last month; 19 Hits/ 98 AB + 12 R + 4 HR + 33 TB + 6 RBI + 7 BB + 2 SB + .194 AVG + .591 OPS; he’s dragging my team down… should I bother dropping him or trade him? or should i wait for him to come around?

since i have no other alternative @ SS, is it relevant to pick up the likes of Ramon Vazquez for insurance?

@Get Figgy With It: I'd drop Liriano for either of them.

ya SP was my biggest weakness and I helped that pretty nicely but I still need more SPs…I have Paps, BJ Ryan, Borowski, Fuentes, and just picked up Mike Gonzalez at RP so I’m fine there and I got Longoria who I will move to my everyday 3B now plus Edwin to fill in (about to drop Kouz)…I’m thinking about picking up some more SP…specifically Garza and Guthrie as you mentioned in one of the forum topics…is Liriano droppable for one of them?

@Get Figgy With It: Think it's solid for you. Nice trade.

@Mike: I would make the deal for either. I like Hart then Manny. @goknick: I try to balance each team. For instance, I'll usually have a rookie as my utility man (Headley or Davis) or a rookie as a fifth starter (Volquez or Parra). Everything else should be as predictable as possible.

since i’m on a roll here, i figure i need you to spell me some of my “inner demons”….

this is my 1st year taking on fantasy baseball, and of course i’ve made plenty of my mistakes in draft, choosing bunch of DL players at the time (Granderson, Lackey, Kazmir, Liriano, Pughes, Buchholz), and then after bunch of trial wheeling & dealing, I’ve also endured some DL stretch from Bradley, Church, Wang, Ortiz, Willingham, Pujols (now adding C. Zambrano & Mag Ordonez).

I’m in 10-team head-to-head (win by most category) non-keepers league, which I luckily hold 8-5 record overall; just when things started to look alright on getting Pujols back, Ordonez started braking down….

My demon now consists many, but I’m going to list the most obvious one: 1) Struggling between Veteran pick-ups (like Huff/ Thames/ Branyan for short-term solution) VS. rookie pick-up (I’ve picked up on Bruce, Headley, Butler & Davis, dropping Headley recently for Huff, but still thinking to get Headley back for Huff); after some thoughts, I’ve firmly believed that veteran players can probably help me more, because I could forecast their performance, but yet I can’t help but take high fliers on exciting rookies!!!!

Can you help me relieve my demon, by advising me which way is more solid: veteran vs. high-impact rookies??

Im trying to package Torii Hunter and Wainwright for an upgrade over Hunter. Im trying to get Manny or Corey Hart. Would you make the deal for either? If so which one do you like more going forward?

@goknick: Davis, Headley then Butler. No clear cut number one. Buchholz
