We drafted in the 5 spot and had A-Rod fall to us... I know the pitching is very risky, but a couple of those guys have to turn out, right? what do you guys think of this team.

You couldn't fit Harden and Sheets on this team to round out the risk? I'm only half-joking. You have a very risky staff as you said. Don't think it works out for you the way you think it might. Your hitting looks fine if a bit low on average.

Do you think I could do a 2 for 1 here and upgrade to 1 less risky pitcher? If so, what would you shoot for in a trade?

Sure, try it. Maybe Hamels? Not sure what other teams in your league need.
