just made a few trades wondering what you guys think, I was fairly deep in pitching but lacked some power and sb.

First trade I gave up Napoli, Joyce, and Lincecum for Cruz, Montero, and Beachy.

2nd trade I gave up Berkman, Jeter, and Gio Gonzalez for Holliday, Jose Reyes and Darvish.

My lineup is not Montero, Gamel, Cuddyer at 2nd, Reyes, Longoria, Outfield of Braun, Holliday and Cruz, Utility spots are Maybin and Youk.

I didn't like the first trade mainly because Napoli is pretty dang valuable (assuming he can play catcher in your league). Not many catchers hit like that. Also, I think Joyce is looking like he could be pretty decent. And even if he declines, Lincecum is still > Beachy.

I liked the 2nd trade better. Berkman’s health is questionable this year and you could come out way ahead if Darvish lives up to the hype. Even if he continues to pitch like he has, it’s still an OK trade. Plus it would be a lot easier to replace Berkman’s production at 1B than to replace Holliday in OF.
