10 team 5x5 roto.... Just looking for a few opinions on how my team looks the rest of the way. Made a few deals to improve my pitching and i'm wandering if i'm balanced enough to get to the top. Here's the lineup

C: Salty and B.Molina

1B: Fielder

2B: Roberts

SS: Reyes

3B: Zimmerman

5 OF: Rios, Franceour, Mclouth, Delmon Young, and Melky C.

2 U: D.Lee and Loney

6 SP: Sabathia, Shields, Myers, Harden, E.Santana, Buchholz

3 CP: Wood, Lidge, Percival

Bench: Jay Bruce and Joba

	Pretty damn solid. Must be one of the best if not the best in your league. The only reason I gave it a B was the pitching staff is ok but thats why you hitting is good.

	The sad part is that i'm in 7th place right now. Fielder, Zimm, D.Y., had Tulo and A.Jones to start the year and they've all did squat the first 3 weeks of the season. Not to mention Sabathia getting me absolutely lit up. and throw in last week when i got a wild idea to bench Percival a week in place of a two start pitcher, sure enough he saves 4 games. Oh yea, and last but not least throw in the F. Liriano experiment i wasted a 9th round pick on. So i'm kinda digging myself out of a hole.

	Dump Bruce and pick up someone you can actually use. No reason to have him on your bench in a 10 team non keeper league.

	i don't think so. you could definitely pick up someone else useful in the meantime. and i don't think you have to worry about someone stealing bruce off waivers and stashing him. he's worthless at this point and won't be an impact star anyways when he comes up.

	he's not gonna take playing time from Dunn or Griffey, and Patterson/Freel have been playing centerfield really well. where's he got to play?

	I also have Bruce stashed, and given what is available on waivers am not giving him up. Of course, my league is a NL one only which narrows the playing field quite a lot.

	To your larger question, I am not sold on D.Young and your staff really could use an ace, you have a lot of 2nd tier good pitchers but none that really stands out. Any chance of packaging a trade for an ace?
