My pitching is a tad weak I believe because the lack of a true ace, but I am unsure whether I should sacrifice a player like Sandoval or Bruce to go after a guy like Grienke.

Your pitching looks fine, a tad better than your hitting.

How is the hitting?
On a /10 scale

I am considering another possibility. Possibly taking Longoria instead of a outfielder like Upton/CarGo, aiming for Uggla instead of Phillips, and snagging an outfield more along the lines of Bruce/BJ Upton/Jones/Berkman.

About a 6... I like your thoughts about the different ways to go...
