I'm in a 5x5, 10 team mixed, non-keeper league. Currently, I am in the middle of the pack awaiting some regression to the mean with regard to ERA and WHIP, two unforeseen areas of weakness. In planning for the summer, though, I'd really love to have a contingency plan at SS for the oft-injured Carlos Guillen. I have a mancrush on him but just dont trust him to stay healthy.

Here's my current roster:

C-Soto
C-Towles
1B-D Lee
2B- A Hill
3B- D Wright
SS- Guillen
OF- Braun
OF- C Hart
OF- Pence
OF- C Lee
OF- Markakis
U-Bourn
U-Longoria

P-Vazquez
P-D. Lowe
P-Lincecum
P-Burnett
P-R Johnson
P-Mc Gowan
P-J Sanchez
P-Jenks
P-Capps

Bench- Ian Snell, Victorino

I'd love to make a play for Tulo, and have offered Longoria straight up, as well as Pence + Snell. Any thoughts on who else I should be offering up and/or targeting?

Kevin,

Your team looks pretty solid to me. Hopefully you didn't pull the trigger on adding Tulo for he's possibly out until the All-Star Break.

Your offense is certainly stacked my friend. No worries there. I don't consider Guillen an injury risk after having 550 AB in each of the last 2 seasons.

Your staff is just as solid. Your Toronto pitchers will get better, as McGowan was great last night. With Rolen back, the defense on grounders to the hot corner will only help their BABIP.

Don't make a move.
