  I'm in a 14-team mixed 5x5 head-to-head, starting 1 at each position, 1 DH, and 6 pitchers...I'm 4-2, in a tie for first, with 12 of the other 13 teams within 2 games of me.
  I'm deep in C, SS, OF, and RP with:
  C: Johjima, B. Molina
  SS: Young, Vizquel
  OF: Abreu, Ordonez, Rios, Hawpe, Jenkins
  RP: Jenks, Ryan
  I'd like to deal Vizquel, an OF, and either Orlando Hernandez or one of the relievers for a stud starter...my 6 starting pitchers are:
  The 5th starter is really only needed is a) one of the other SP's gets hurt, or b) for 2-start occasions
  Saves have not been a problem; and ERA is usually in the middle of the pack...WHIP is always low, and K's and W's vary wildly.
  Any pitchers out there that were very good last year, struggling this year, but might bounce back? I doubt I could pry away a Santana or a Mulder...maybe a Prior or Carpenter.

  well, I'd say Prior or Wood you might have a change with (because of the injury history) but CArpenter? no way, hes a stud whos pitching every bit as well as last year (just doesn't have the wins to show it like last year because of bad run support)
  could also try and go after someone struggling right now (mabye ben sheets, kris benson) not sure how many teams your league is, but you might even find some help on the free agent list (I lucked out there last year with john garland) good luck to ya.

  I've got Sheets on one of my teams. I wouldn't say he's struggling as
  much as he's struggling as much as he's taking up permanent residence
  on the DL. Maybe Jose Contreras, since you know he just came off the
  DL and looked good in his start?
  I wound up dealing Omar Vizquel and Orlando Hernandez for Daniel Cabrera and Luis Gonzalez of the Rockies...all are just reserves for me in case of injuries...I like Gonzalez's flexibility...probably not going to affect my scoring unless someone gets hurt.
