I got the trade approved by a close margin and a lot of yelling.
I have now traded for A-Rod, Alomar, Pujols and Sabathia and have given up Jeter, Castillo, L.Gonzales, Moyer, Hermanson, LoDuca and Yan or the last few weeks.
Now that I have taken care of my hitting I need some advise on Pitching. This is what's available - Jarvis, Mlicki, Dessens, Brower, Suzuki(KC), Olivares, B.Jones, Lilly, Washburn, Schmitt, Tomko and Gagne. Is Gagne going to the minors when Ashby comes back? Does Oswalt have a good chance of making the rotation & if so what is his chances for success? My scoring works like this: 10pts/W; 1/IP; 1/K; -.5/BB; -4/L and 4-0pts on a sliding scale for ERA. Tell me which moves you guys would make to improve my team? Refer to the WW pitchers up top.

C - Pizza
1B - Karros; Travis Lee
2B - Alomar; Ortiz; Lugo
SS - A-Rod; Lugo
3B - Pujols; Chavez
OF - Bonds; Abreu; Berkman and Lawton
RP - Sasaki & Rocker
SP - Hampton; Lieber; Chen; Wolf; Suppan; Sabathia; Lidle; Williams and Crawford.
On the DL - Wright and Stottlemyre.

We start 1 at every pos plus a DH; 4 SP and 2 RP. 12 team H-T-H scoring league.
