He's got some keepers in Harper, Zimmerman and Ellsbury. Maybe Chapman. Might be a good time to sell high on Konerko. Could maybe get a good pick in return for Howard too. A combination of players could maybe land another keeper worthy player.Yeah auto draft killed you worse than anyone coupled with injuries and your toast. I strongly suggest you start to trade away pieces and build for next year. At least you'll have the first pick.

Yeah he's got a strong core with those three and could flip a few other for another high draft pick and/or young keeper. Something I have yet to decide is just how important those earlier draft picks will be for next years draft. There will be a ton of talent for those first few rounds and having multiple early picks might be a huge benefit.He's got some keepers in Harper, Zimmerman and Ellsbury. Maybe Chapman.

I have been so gutted by injuries this season that I'm giving serious thought to using the rest of the year to try to land a fantastic keeper to go with my young pitching as well as picking up some extra early picks.
But on the other hand, if my pitching ever gets healthy / is promoted to the majors, I could be primed to make a huge second half run.
