In a position that is short of quality players I would trade Rolen. He stays hurt but his stats are good enough that you could get something to help you in an area of need.

Traded Ubaldo and Placido for Uggla and Latos, I really needed some hitting and have dominated in almost all pitching categories.

Wonder how much J.P. has risen since his debut?

Jaime Garcia or Travis Wood?

I've got Garcia but considered dropping him for Wood. I'm thinking Wood might be a better option down the stretch because he is pitching well enough to stay in the rotation and due to far less innings than Garcia might not wear out his arm like Garcia. Thoughts?

I would say Wood for the same reasons.

Indeed, I would actually look for a more proven pitcher than either one of them.

There has got to be a solid vet out there in your league.

Been awhile since posting in here.

Carlos Gonzalez has become a bona fide star this season. He and Votto and Pujols are battling for the triple crown.

Has he ( Cargo ) became a legit top 5 fantasy player in your mind?

I know I will be drafting him again next year.

Pujols, Hanley, Votto maybe Crawford are ahead of him... maybe one of the three 3B or Braun?

CarGo's 130 strikeouts to 20 walks still just worries me.

I think that will balance out. .337 avg 31 hr 95 rbi and 26 sb are better overall numbers than any of the others you mentioned.

Whether he can produce this type of season remains to be seen.

Actually just picked up Kevin Slowey off waivers. He's a concern coming off injury but draws KC and Cleveland this week. I have Johan and Cliff Lee so injuries are hurting my pitching in the final two weeks before playoffs.

I had Cargo for a while this season but dropped him as he kept getting injured. I should have been more patient with him.

I've got a tough decision at 2B this week and it looks like games start early today for Labor Day so not much time to decide.

Neil Walker or Ryan Ryburn

Ry has been hitting for some power lately, still a toss up.

Cargo hasn't been hurt...not that I know of, pretty sure if he missed any time it was just day-to-day.

He has been a stud all year long and has kept me striking distance in my league.
