I dont know about that trade, it is risky, you dont kknow how any of your guys will do, and they all are big ? marks. You do need pitchings, but maybe a better SS or 2B is in need, other than that, it looks " Very NICEEEEEEEE"

Be careful, JJ Putz is hurt-he might start the season on the DL (elbow problems). Haren won't make up for losing Santana and Bonderman and Delmon Young is totally unproven.
Man, you do need a closer though. Here's what you do: stay on top of the waiver wire-there are several teams who haven't decided on a closer yet or guys could get hurt-try to pick up some saves there.

There is a reliever named Broxton who is still available in your league , I checked . Saito is the Dodger closer , I do not see him lasting plus being older he does not have as good as stuff as Saito, Look at Britons k's to Innings pitched I guarantee you will like what you see.(This is your first move or tied with pulling your trade for Putz) Your outfield is stacked, Coco Crisp who had an awful year last season is available. He is going to rebound and steal at least 40 and hit 300, he was hurt at the start of the season and that set the tone, plus he battled injuries all year. I do not like Kent as a 2B, Hold him if and pick up Crisp and package an outfielder and Kent for Barfield or Kinsler . They were both good rookies last year and will get better, Barfield being your number one choice. Roberts would be another guy(2b) especially with his arm being healthy who can steal 30 and hit 300 with 20 Hrs.(OF + Kent should get that done). Chances are whoever took Roberts though will not move him because he know what we do, Zumaya is solid and so are your starters. Pull your trade offer now . Do not give up Bonderman and Young no way. Young is going to be a stud and Bonderman is going to win 20 on that Tiger team. See if you can get Wheeler. If Lidge Falters or is traded he will close. Scott Linebrook(oak) is another guy, he was available, grab him , but if he wasn't grab him in a trade and if he was he should not cost so much in a trade same as Wheeler(HOU). Something is wrong with Tom Gordon and I keep hearing that the Philies are going to trade for him and even if not if street goes down again he closes. The Colorado SS Tulowitzski is still available , he is a rookie , but will hit especially in that ball park. Granderson and Renteria you drop to make room. I also think Blaylok is going to rebound pick him up. Do not get me wrong Zimmerman is awesome (and is one of your untouchables), but Blaylock could be a util or DH guy and when he starts to roll, trade bait for you. Now you need one more starter to go with Peavy( awesome pick) Hamels(awesome pick) and Bonderman. Hill worries me. Drop him and get Blanton, You know that with Blanton ,you will get 15 wins from him at least , his ERA will drop from last year the only problem is you will not get many Ks. There is another reliever Pat Neshek(min) see if he is available. Obviously Minnesota is set at closer , but again he gets hurt and this guy closes, besides, he will be seeing a lot more innings in a set up role and 53 ks in 38 innings is not bad. Howard ,Zimmerman your OF, Peavy, Bondrman , Hamels , Blanton Zumaya, You can stay in it until one of these set up man turns closer who I think Broxton will happen early , Wheeler you should be able to get fairly cheaply(but get him). Your SS is solved with Tulowitzski(He will be solid). Just so you know my dad eats breakfast with Barret , and Barret(in Chicago, I live in NY) is a little nicked up so you may end up having to DL HIm and grab a catcher if that happens, he said he was feeling better before he left for Spring Training. If he is Healthy he is a great choice. You just need a little tweaking and with your studs you will contend. Peavy I think can win Cy Young this year. Hamels who I saw a lot last year could win 20 on that philly team and k 200. 2b and SS. If you get Barfield that would be aweome , but make the same offer for all 3 Kinsler , Roberts and Barfield. You offer a stud OF you can do it and as I said with Blaylock out their if someone offers you like a Wagner for him do it. Do not forget Tulowitzski at SS. Kendrick can be dropped also to make for you. If you want to talk IM me messtograves or e-mail me if you do noy have IM. I just had my ankle reconstucted so I am available to BS about baseball or any sport really. Good luck I hope this helped.PS I just checked on Wheeler the guy who has him has Lidge also(smart owner). So Wheeler is off the table . Grab the other guys I mentioned and you will still be solid. If by May nothing is cooking then you may have to deal for a proven RP. Keep checking the wires as you know though , for example Wagner gets hurt you grab Heilman right away, You just have to stay up on it.
