LF and get a better fielding 3B , or at 3B with a better fielding LF

right now he is at 3B with a Ford/Monroe platoon in LF.

Also , would greatly appreciate any expert feedback on my team! Thanks!

LF platoon does seem weak for almost $5.00. Bad fielding and Lew Ford getting 70% of AB's. I would consider someone else in LF before Cabrera, as you would be better off with a decent LF and Cabrera at 3B, but I would say the platoon should go.

1. It looks like you're making the rookie mistake of dropping players and replacing them once the season starts. If so, stop it now, because eventually your team will be horrible and you won't even have the slightest wiggle room to make any improvements.

2. I like Miguel Cabrera much more at 3B than I do in LF. You might try moving Heilman in a deal for a solid leftfielder, I know someone would bite at the opportunity to grab him. I would target someone with a reasonably priced LF that needs bullpen help, and offer them Heilman, Ford, and Monroe for that LF and a couple of cheap but effective bullpen arms.

3. The more arms in US Cell, the better. Cheapy specialists will save the day more often than not, and if you go with a 4 man rotation, you're able to go with an 8 man bullpen. Just a thought.
