Fantasy baseball league, team 2

Hey everyone, hope you all are having a great day

My second team is in a 10 team league with an 11X11 head-to-head, point per category win set-up

The team...

C-Russel Martin (3B) (5/41)
1B-Prince Fielder (3/21)
2B-Brandon Phillips (4/40)
3B-Chipper Jones (9/81)
SS-Hanley Ramirez (1/1)
OF-BJ Upton (2/20)
OF-Curtis Granderson (6/60)
OF-Bobby Abreu (10/100)
U-Adrian Gonzalez (1B) (7/61)
B-Hunter Pence (OF) (12/120)
B-Chris Iannetta (C) (15/141)
B-Mike Aviles (2B/SS) (17/161)
B-Brad Hawpe (OF) (18/180)

SP-Chad Billingsly (8/80)
SP-John Danks (20/200)
RP-Joba Chamberlin (11/101)
RP-Max Scherzer (16/160)
P-Matt Cain (13/121)
P-Yovanni Gallardo (14/140)
P-Zack Grienke (19/181)
B-Jonny Cueto (21/201)

My strategy for this draft was to completely ignore saves, knowing full well that I will be able to pick up several cheap saves via free agency and trades. I drafted hitters first to fill out my starting line up, then I focused on picking the best available player (upside factored in), whether it was a starting pitcher or a batter.

I currently have proposed 2 trades:
Hunter Pence (OF) and Max Scherzer (SP/RP)
for
Delmon Young (OF), Justin Verlander (SP), and Huston Street (RP)

and:
Hunter Pence (OF)
for
Cameron Maybin (OF) and Matt Garza (SP).

As you can probably well tell, I am not a fan of Hunter Pence. I think he is extremely overrated and will be a huge bust for the ADP he normally falls at (I picked him up with a pick 12th round, about 50 picks later than his ADP). I picked him up just to use him as trade bait since many people view him as a potential superstar (hopefully not).

Alright everyone, thanks for stopping by. If you all have any questions or comments about anything fantasy related, including but not limited to: baseball, football, basketball, or Scarlett Johansson, feel free to ask away.
