Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Joe Mauer for Russel Martin?

Hey Y'all, I'm in an 8-Man League (ESPN) which is judged on R,HR,RBI,SB,AVG,K,W,SV,ERA, WHIP. I'm currently sitting in 2nd place (46-32-2) I feel my pitching is very strong, but my lineup isn't. I have the lowest AVG and RBI total and would like to boost those up. Just wanted to know what ya'll think about these trades. Thanks a lot guys, much appreciated.

Drop LaRoche, add Youkilis.
Trade Mauer for Martin.

Snell
Add those two players. LaRoche will likely pick-up but Youkilis is a non-HR/RBI stud. Selling low on Berkman and buying high on AGonz is a tough move. I wouldn't do it, and I can't trust kent to stay healthy.

I diagree
Youklis will hit 20+ this year. Last year he had Plantae fasheistis (however its spelled); it's what held Shannon Stewart out all year. Youklis is healthy and is provides RBI and decent pop guy hitting in that lineup.

.348, 8 hrs 30 rbi. thus far. .

Adam Laroche is off to a awefull start and will take batting .350 to get to 270 average by seasons end.

Clarified butter
I mistyped.  Take Youkilis.  Whatever edge LaRoche may have in HR/RBI, Youk kills int he others.
