Dang it!

I've assembled through trade and pickup what would seem to be a pretty solid team, on paper.

C J. Varitek (Bos - C)
1B J. Bagwell (Hou - 1B)
2B M. Loretta (SD - 2B)
3B J. Crede (CWS - 3B)
SS C. Guillén (Det - 3B,SS)
OF D. Young (Det - 3B,LF,DH)
OF B. Abreu (Phi - RF)
OF J. Gerut (Cle - LF,RF)
Util A. Everett (Hou - SS)
Util B. Inge (Det - C,3B)
DL N. GarciaparraDL (Bos - SS)

My hitters have been in a slump for a bit, but I've been eeking by on the strength of my pitching. I'm itching to get Nomar in the lineup . . . but it's going to cost me a player. I'm thinking Inge or Crede, but torn as to which. Both are underrated hitters.

RP E. Guardado (Sea - RP)
RP A. Alfonseca (Atl - RP)
P J. Rincón (Min - RP)
P R. Betancourt (Cle - RP)
BN E. Milton (Phi - SP)
BN T. Wakefield (Bos - SP)
BN J. Fogg (Pit - SP)
BN J. Bonderman (Det - SP,RP)
BN E. DuBose (Bal - SP,RP)
BN B. Lawrence (SD - SP)
BN J. Suppan (StL - SP)
BN C. Vargas (Mon - SP)
BN N. Robertson (Det - SP)

I lucked out and got guys like Eric Milton and Brian Lawrence (who are both having career years) in the lower rounds of the draft. Fogg is a guy who's coming on strong as of light (shutting out the Cubs through 7 as we speak) and Guardado and Rincon aren't getting many saves but they're getting me wins and K's.
