    I'm in first place by 7 points in a 12 team roto. My team is as follows;

    C - Kurt Suzuki

    1B - Nick Swisher

    2B - Howie Kendrick

    3B - Jose Lopez

    SS - Hanley Ramirez

    OF - Nick Markakis

    OF - Corey Hart

    OF - Alex Rios

    UTL - James Loney

    UTL - Brennan Boesch

    Super shallow bench with only Hunter Pence and the occasion waiver guy.

    Pitching;

    Jonathan Sanchez

    Felix Hernandez

    Danny Haren

    Kris Medlen

    Luke Gregerson

    Chad Billingsly

    John Axford

    Josh Johnson

    Jonathan Broxton

    and just picked up Alfredo Simon

    The one category that's really killing me is obviously saves. Just had a guy offer me Matt Capps for Swisher, which I am not taking. The same guy also has Soria. Would it be worth it to offer Swish for Soria knowing he'll probably take it and sell high on Swish? I kept thinking his average would drop into the usual .230 range but it hasn't and he just keeps hitting with power and replacing him with James Loney is okay but then I have Pence in the lineup every day which I'm not thrilled about until around September.

    Reason: Put an extra H in Jonathan

    that's a really easy trade to make if you need saves.

    I need saves, but I'm not dominating in offense either. 7 points in both HR and R. Downgrading from Swish to Pence will probably hurt more than help in both those Cats while getting Soria will help in saves, but I'm already getting the full 12 points in ERA and WHIP so there isn't a ton to be gained there.

    Swisher is going to score a ton of runs as it looks like he will probably bat second most of the time and yeah, he'll hit more home runs than Pence. I think you are undervaluing Pence, though. Aren't many guys who have double digit homers and steals right now. Keeping him on your bench in a 12-team league is a waste. I'd probably try to trade markakis, who has a better name and puts up equal numbers as Pence other than BA, for a closer who won't lose his job. Or, depending on whose available and what your bench is like, get a couple of the evan meek, tyler clippard, brandon league guys and hope. I would ditch Simon for any of those 3.

    Ended up offering Swish for Soria and was accepted.
