A guy in my league has openly admitted he's looking to improve his pitching staff. I usually like to jump all over this in hopes of improving my hitters. I think it's easier to build a pitching staff off the waiver wire, compared to finding quality batters. So, here is his team:
C Yadier Molina (StL - C)
C Kelly Shoppach (Cle - C)
1B Kevin Youkilis (Bos - 1B,3B)
2B Chone Figgins (LAA - 2B,3B)
3B Ryan Zimmerman (Was - 3B)
SS Stephen Drew (Ari - SS)
CI Adam Dunn (Was - 1B,LF,RF)
MI Kazuo Matsui (Hou - 2B)
LF Carlos Lee (Hou - LF)
CF Jayson Werth (Phi - LF,CF,RF)
RF Jack Cust (Oak - LF,RF)
OF Raúl Ibañez (Phi - LF)
OF Bobby Abreu (LAA - RF)
Util Russell Branyan (Sea - 1B,3B)
SP Chris Carpenter (StL - SP)
SP Jordan Zimmermann (Was - SP) NA
SP Anthony Reyes (Cle - SP,RP)
SP Kevin Millwood (Tex - SP)
SP Zach Duke (Pit - SP)
RP Francisco Cordero (Cin - RP)
RP Chad Qualls (Ari - RP)
RP Hideki Okajima (Bos - RP)
RP Rick Porcello (Det - RP)
DL Hiroki Kuroda (LAD - SP) DL
DL John Smoltz (Bos - SP) DL

I'd probably be looking to improve my OF, but he states that his C,1B,3B,CI,OF are all available, and he is looking for MI,SP. I'd probably look at moving Kazmir and another piece to upgrade my hitting. Does anything stand out for you that would work for both teams, but basically greatly improve mine? Thanks Grey.

I agree that you can get pitchers off of waivers, but your league is deep and you really don't have any pitchers to step in for Kazmir. If that said, I'd still trade Kazmir for Carlos Lee, though I'm not sure he'll go for it. Or Young or Slowey for Zimmerman.

A different scenario than the one above...
Schumaker and Garza for Kazmir? Good for me? I think I would drop Helton. He needs to clear up OF room for Ichiro, he also has Bay, Winn, McLouth, Hamilton, and Fowler. Other SP of his are Shields, Oswalt, Lohse, and Scherzer. Anything stand out? He wants to do 2 of his for 1 of mine.

You don't want Schumaker and Garza. McLouth or Bay for Kazmir?

Hah, well he rejected McLouth for Kazmir and re-offered Skip and Fowler for Kazmir... Bleh... Don't really know where to go from here!

Ok, really weird, but he re-offered

Kazmir and Wigginton
FOR
McLouth, Feliz and Matt Thornton

I assume I should accept this. I would drop Helton in my Util spot, but what should I do with Thornton? Keep him and drop one of my other relievers? Also, I was going to drop Helton for Drew (off waivers tomorrow), but now since I would be dropping Helton, would I drop Rivera for Drew? Hope none of those questions are confusing!

Nice... Drop Thornton, drop Rivera for Drew.
