So I pulled off my first big trade of the year less than a week into the season.

It's a keeper league where you can keep 10 players and no restriction on how many times you can keep a player.

I traded Dustin Pedroia and Adam Wainwright for Ryan Braun, Ryan Roberts, and Ervin Santana.

Scoring Categories are as follows:
Hitters - R's, HR's, RBI's, SB's, OBP
Pitchers - K's, W's, SV's, ERA, WHIP

Here is my current roster:

C - Matt Wieters
1B - Albert Pujols
2B - Ryan Roberts
3B - David Wright
SS - Starlin Castro
OF - Jay Bruce
OF - Shane Victorino
OF - Ryan Braun
UT - Carlos Pena
UT - Justin Morneau

BN - Jesus Montero - DH
BN - Edwin Encarnacion - 1B/3B
BN - Brett Gardner - OF
BN - Cameron Maybin - OF
BN - Logan Morrison - OF
BN - Austin Jackson - OF
DL - Brian Roberts - 2B

SP - Gavin Floyd, Ervin Santana, Matt Cain, Matt Latos, Zack Greinke, Jordan Zimmermann, Max Scherzer, John Danks, Add/Drop Starter based on Matchups

RP - Jason Motte, Matt Capps, Brett Myers

I would like to add a few more starters and am hoping that I can use some of my bench guys to do so.

Depending on how they do this year Montero, Maybin, Morrison could all have pretty good value in a keeper league.

I've had a few trades. In one league where I only had 1 closer I was able to trade Leake for Street soon after the draft.

In another keeper league I realized that I was way behind on keeper value going into the draft. I was 4th from the bottom, probably because I won the last two years and in order to do that I decided to become much more focused on winning that year than having keepers this year. I ended up trading Kemp ($38 to keep next year) for Beltre ($14 to keep) and Moustakas ($9) for Belt ($4). I may have overpaid on both accounts, but time will tell. I have Tulo ($43) and Grienke ($22) that I can trade later for keepers.

Was offered Jered Weaver and Nick Markakis for Shane Victorino. I'm desperate for SBs, but I pulled the trigger on that one without thinking twice.

Yeah that is a great trade for you. You should be able to find some SBs on the waiver wire.
