Just traded Wilhelmsen/Henderson for Posey and a Hammel (will drop). Will cut/bench JPA. Nice problem to have. Still have Parnell/Veras/Gregg and will grab Bailey again.

Have made a few trades in the last week or two and have netted the following:
Gave up: Berkman, Segura, Marte and Henderson
Got back: Beltre, Rollins, Chris Sale and Smardzja (on waivers actually)
Slowly climbing my way up - got all the way up to 8th after spending most of the year in last. Have stellar pitching now (Sale, Samardzja, Cobb, Shelby Miller, etc.) and will try and trade some of those pieces for a bat.

I'm in 8th and finally starting to make some progress. Even though I traded for Lawrie I am getting very close to cutting him.

Been trying to decide if Wacha will be better over the next few months than the current starters on my AFA roster (mainly over Maholm, Griffin, Wandy Rodriguez, and Feldman). Maholm's implosion today is making me consider dumping him despite his solid outing last time out. I've been sitting in 1st place for 2-3 weeks now mostly due to my pitching (in 1st or 2nd in W, SV, ERA, & WHIP, 5th in Ks), so I've been happy with the current guys for the most part.
~2 Month Roster Update:
C: V. Martinez
1B: D. Ortiz
2B: Infante, Profar
3B: M. Reynolds, M. Carpenter, Gyorko
SS: Segura, Gregorius
OF: Marte, Viciedo, L. Cain, Dom. Brown (just picked back up today for B. Moss), Werth (DL)
SP: A. Cobb, Maholm, S. Miller, Griffin, Feldman, W. Rodriguez
RP: M. Rivera, Frieri, Mujica, Parnell

I think Maholm has definitely returned to earth. I'd still spot him against bad teams but he's no longer a must-have. Not sure Wacha will be better but I think he's worth a shot. Thinking about picking him up myself.
My team is still in 8th. It turns out I'm a bad trader; selling high on Marte and Chris Davis hasn't worked out so well. I just flipped Mujica and Vernon Wells for Matt Holliday and Medlen. Right now I'm trying to decide if Lawrie is worth hanging onto.

SP S Miller, Cobb, Hammel, Big Erv, Medlen, Teheran (probably not for long)
RP Frieri, A Bailey, Valverde, K-Rod, Henderson, Bryan Shaw (probably not for long)

It seems that trading is incredibly time-intensive and has a significant likelihood of actually hurting your team. I don't enjoy trading.

All the way up to 6th, 20 points out of first and moving quickly!
Just got offered a trade proposal that I think I have to take but wanted to get some input:
I give: Puig
I get: Allen Craig and Adam Jones
I traded away Trout last year in the Free Agent League and that haunted me. I also have plenty of 1B/OFer's right now so even though from a pure production standpoint, it makes sense - maybe I try and upgrade a different position?
My current offensive roster:
C - Salvador Perez
1B - Belt / Morales
2B - Gyorko
3B - Beltre
SS - Rollins
OF - Nelson Cruz, Alfonso Soriano, Dom Brown, Nick Swisher, Puig
Do I make the deal or try and get more/different pieces? The only other player he has that is an upgrade on one of my spots is Tulo at SS but that may be hard to get. I could go after his pitchers, but mine are pretty good right now (Sale, Cobb, Shelby, Samardzja, etc.)
