a) better link please, why link to your schedule, that doesn't help, and I'm too lazy (as well as I don't like leaving SOM links in the URL at work) to change it myself.

b) Why trade Clark? Seems like a great 1b for you, unless you're getting a great offer for him. If so what is it?

c) Really I have been disappointed with both Pujols and Ortiz this year. Pujols, yea will hit his card, but in an all hitting park league, he still only hits his card. I haven't been wowed by him for that price. Ortiz has power, but his BA and OBP have yet to live up to what they should for me yet. Then again, I dont like Giambi card any better, I'd rather have Clark + Ortiz though.

c) VMart has done really well for me every time I've had him (granted only 3 times). The only 3 game max catcher to boot, I'd keep clark + Giambi and go for him.

I'd take Pujols over Oritz depending on your first basemen. Clark is not a good fit for MM, as he'll be facing many RHP thus turning him around and having him bat LH, in that park, not a good idea.

well Clark is a well sought commodity in the 06 set, I've only had him once, and when healthy, he is the best hitter on my team.

but I understand what it is to sour on a player that never does what he should for you. There are no SS's left in your league, and you got 2 3b's. Definetly trade for Tejeda then. Perhaps Giles for RF or Vmart with your #1 waiver. I dont think I'd grab any 1b first, as I'm sure at least 1 of them (D Lee in there too) will still be available after the waivers. Plus there are 2 good cheap 1b in Gibbons or Pena left if all else fails.

p.s. I'd try to upgrade Lidge to Wagner with my #2 or 3 if I were you too.
