Fantasy Focus

So, here's the deal...

I have an AWFUL fantasy baseball team. I'm not sure how many of you have fantasy baseball teams, or how many of you are wondering what the heck I'm even talking about... but if you do know what I'm talking about, then good.

And if you don't, it's not bad, I'll just tell you. Fantasy baseball is a sports geek's dream, taking all the athletes and their stats from a pro sport, be it baseball, basketball, football and anything else, probably even chess, and allowing the user to assemble their own fantasy team, trading or playing the virtual free agent market.

If any of you are still confused, you should wikipedia it, or just join a league.

Anyways, I need your help, and will all year long. My team is next to dead last in the 10-team league of 26-68. It doesn't take an education in fantasy baseball to know that is AWFUL!!!

It's not that I have an awful team...I started the season with some really good offensive threats, including David Wright, Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Magglio Ordonez, Johnny Damon, Brandon Phillips, and our Cubs' very own, Alfonso Soriano.

Of course, Wright had a slow start before just picking up, Jeter has hit for average but not much else, Posada got hurt, Ordonez was black-listed for steroids, Johnny Damon has been good, Brandon Phillips forgot how to be good, and Soriano, well, you know the story there.

My pitching, on the other hand, has never been deep with talent, but I'm trying to make do. I picked up Royal Zack Greinke, who has been awesome, compiling a 4-1 record with a 1.8 ERA and 1.02 WHIP(Walks and hits allowed in innings pitched). I drafted John Lackey, a real success last year, but he's been hurt since the start, though his teammate Joe Saunders has come in and pitched some lights-out ball, rocking a 6-0 record.
I also picked up former Cub-now Cardinal Todd Wellemeyer, a starting pitcher who has shown you Cardinals fans that sometimes the Cubs actually do draft some good talent.

Anyways, I could go on for hours if I explain this position by position, so here's my current team:

Batters:
A.J. Pierzynski (CWS - C)
James Loney (LAD - 1B)
Kazuo Matsui (Hou - 2B)
David Wright (NYM - 3B)
Derek Jeter (NYY - SS)
Johnny Damon (NYY - LF,CF)
Juan Pierre (LAD - LF,CF)
Magglio Ordóñez (Det - RF)
Mark Reynolds (Ari - 3B, currently my utility)
Brandon Phillips (Cin - 2B, bench)
Eric Byrnes (Ari - LF,CF,RF, bench)
Jorge Posada (C, Disabled List, bench)
Alfonso Soriano (ChC - LF,CF, bench)

Pitchers:
Zack Greinke (KC - SP,RP)
Clay Buchholz (Bos - SP)
Francisco Rodríguez (LAA - RP)
José Valverde (Hou - RP)
Matt Capps (Pit - RP)
Jason Isringhausen (StL - RP)
Todd Wellemeyer (StL - SP,RP)
Joe Saunders (LAA - SP)
Gavin Floyd (CWS - SP,RP)

As you can see, I need some help at first base and I also need some advice about Mark Reynolds. After a sizzling start, the under the radar has player has calmed down a bit. Should I drop him, bench him, or keep him there?

And I'm sure you all you Cardinals fans have the same question about Izzy, and I'm talking about real baseball. Trade him!
