C- Martinez
1B- Ortiz/Shealy
2B- Hudson/soon BJ Upton and Felipe Lopez
SS- Lopez/Crosby (should I drop Crosby for Tuli?, unsure)
3B- Cabrera/Zimmerman/Upton
OF- Bay/Hunter/Baldelli/Nixon
SP- Colon/Pedro/Wood/Loewen/Lackey/Lowe/Wakefield (there is nothing out there on WW, maybe he gives me some K's and wins for now)
RP- Cordero/Jones/Benitez
Good move picking up Nixon. He's in a nice spot in that lineup. With Bay, Nixon and Baldelli's potential, you've got a decent OF going.
The O-Dog might not be a bad 2B for you. At least he's a good insurance policy if Upton starts to struggle.
SS - Is Stephen Drew available? For me, he might have greater potential that Tulowitzki. Crosby has such promise, he'd be a hard one to cut so early. But he's fragile, too.
If you have a UTIL spot, I'd bench Hunter and put Zimmerman in there. I'm guessing you already are, though.
Yeah, you're pitching's getting better, but it's still not good. But that's why you started this thread in the 1st place. (Is that Kerry Wood?)
Good progress so far. Keep your eye on the waiver wire for Bailey and Hughes.
I already did the deal...You'd be the first person that didn't think I fleeced him. I don't need steals at all, and I desperately need pitching. Works for me.
I wasn't being sarcastic at all. It was a really good move.
I apologize, I could have sworn I saw it say "Good luck with that Lackey deal."

I can always grab another guy if I need to. Bailey and Hughes are both available in my league, but it's hard to burn a spot on one now.
Personally, I'd cut Wood before Pedro, but that's based on historical performance. I can't imagine the headache of ever owning Wood. Both are big question marks, though.
I've got Pedro stashed on the DL in both my leagues. Spent late draft picks on him, so I didn't compromise either team too much. Anything I get from him this season will be considered a bonus.
