    Five weeks into the season, what're the best and worst moves that you have made?

    Best move I've made is dealing away Nick Johnson and Jason Johnson and getting Jermaine Dye and Gustavo Chacin. I'm really liking that deal.

    Other great move I've made is sending Roy Halladay packing to a Blue Jay fan in exchange for Paul Konerko. Adding a bat for a messed up pitcher like Halladay is always nice.

    Third great move: picking up Sean Marshall off free agency, he's been solid.

    Worst move I've made is dropping Nick Swisher when he was hitting .200 early in the season.

    I also dropped Xavier Nady after he went two games without a hit, yes I'm that impatient.

    joining my league was the worst move? ha

    my best move was bilking Vernon Wells away from a Reds fan (krazyredsfanguy at that) for Ken Griffey jr... As soon as the deal went through Griff went on the DL and hasn't been back since.

    Good: drafting Xavier Nady and Edwin Encarnacion in almost every league I'm in.
    Bad: drafting Derrek Lee with no suitable backup.

    Best move was going with my instinct and taking David Bush at the end of my keeper draft.

    Worst move was dropping Alexis Rios because he was only supposed to play against lefties. *sigh*

    Best move: trading Junior to redsfan

    Worst move: I've been inactive in my leagues for the most part, but I recall dropping Jeff Francis in a 20 team league.

    oh, I forgot to put a worst move...so far drafting Cantu I guess since he hasn't played well and then got injured a couple of times...

    Another good move was getting Rios in 2 of my leagues.

    My best moves: drafting Gomes and Jason Schmidt (two complete games in a row).

    Worst: drafting Ichiro although he's showing signs of coming out of it. I also took Loretta thinking he would have a big year in that lineup.

    Best Move: Picking up Alexis Rios for Willy Mo Pena in my keeper league. Picking up Javy Vazquez in my Public League

    Good Moves: Picking up Chris Shelton before the season in My Public League, Adding David Weathers (how ironic was that), Picking up Nick Johnson in the Keeper. Xavier Nady in another league I was in.

    Worst Move: Trading for Willy Mo Pena. Drafting AJ Burnett who is on the DL.

    well, if you haven't noticed Vernon Wells is tearing the cover off this mofo. .356 average, OPS of 1.042, 23 runs, 7 doubles, 2 triples, 9 homers, and 28 RBIs. A lot better than the guy I traded him for at this point
