Ok, you need to trade a bat or two for pitching help...and i dont even know what yur pitching staff looks like. (how many teams are in the league?) You just have too mnay good bats riding your bench that could be turned into SP (or RP if u need saves). either thast or u need to trade for a new SS IMO. I don't feel Lugo is solid enough and cabrera isn't your typical outstanding fantasy SS. IMO your starting offensive unit should look like this:
C LoDuca
1B Ortiz (you just traded for him right?)
2B Figgins
3B Tracy
SS Lugo/Cabrera
OF C. Lee
OF Soriano
OF Crawford
UTIL Rios
You have a lot of flexibility with Soriano, Figgins, and Tracy so i would say hold onto them. But you can afford to let lane go and trade Sexson (you've got Papi and D-Lee on the DL)...find a team that may REALLY need a 1B and get something you need (SS, C, SP?) from them for Sexson (and/or Castillo, Cabrera, Lugo, Burrell). I bet you could also get away with trading LoDuca to someone that overvalues catchers and pick someone off waivers that could adequately fill that position (russ martin? johny estrada? brian mccann?)
