RP for SP

Suddenly I have a lot of good relievers, and only 4 starters. Anyone interested in trading an SP for an RP? On the table, in order of how much it will take to acquire them: Addison Reed, Jose Valverde, Ernesto Frieri, Casey Janssen, Joaquin Benoit, Mike Adams.

Looking to add a SP

I'm hoping to add a little SP depth. I'd be open to trading almost any one of my hitters for the right guy, but specifically Kendricks, Weeks, Escobar, Ibanez, Rios, or Hunter (being out indefinitely but not DL-eligible is just so tempting, I know). I'd also trade Collins or Alvarez, and would be open to a 2-for-1 including one of them and a hitter. Let me know if you see anything that works for you.

2-1 OF, pitching, or mix and match?

I'm looking to trade 2-1 to upgrade my OF (Cruz, Frenchy, Dirks, Joyce, de Aza), starting pitching (Colon, McCarthy, Drabek, Hughes, and Parker - CC and Shields I don't want to move in a 2-1).  I'm open to dealing 2 OF, 2 SP, or one of each.  Let me know if you're looking to shore up your depth in the outfield or your pitching staff.

How good is Josh Hamilton?

He is currently hitting .406/.458/.840. He raised his slugging from .703 to .840 in last nights game.

In his last 6 at bats, he has 5 home runs and a double. That's 5 times as many home runs as Pujols has all season.

Hamilton is on pace for a 135/76/194/11/.406 fantasy season.

He has hit so many home runs and struck out so little that his average is actually higher than his BABIP. In other words, he's hitting better on balls not in play than in play.

He is #1 on ESPN's player rater with a score of 15.83. Jered Weaver is 2nd with 9.89.

All this for $23 - one dollar less than Carl Crawford - yet somehow I'm still in 7th place!

Rule Change in Order?

I'm in favor of not allowing anyone to pick up a player dropped on Saturday on Sunday. The point of having a Sunday deadline was in case you lost a bid and needed to find another pickup or if a player was injured on Saturday and you needed to quickly find a replacement. It might just be easiest from an admin standpoint to have one waiver deadline (Saturday) and leave it at that. Thoughts?

Help!

Longoria's out 6-8 weeks. I can plug Mike Young in at 3rd, but that leaves me short a first baseman.  So, I need to trade for a corner infielder.  Would like to get something done before the waiver claim deadline on Saturday.  I've got Hafner, some extra outfielders, an extra closer, an extra catcher, and a little bit of starting pitching depth I suppose.  Or, I might be open to trading one of my current infielders for 2 lesser infielders.
