Thoughts on a trade/my team?

[bigpapiMA32]

So I just traded Starlin Castro for Brett Anderson, wondering if you guys think I did okay or not.

Here's my team now:
C Avila (VMart on DL)
1B M. Cabrera
2B Pedroia
SS A. Ramirez
3B A. Rodriguez
OF Ethier
OF Pence
OF Stanton
UTIL Berkman
BN Bruce
BN Bourn

SP Lee
SP Jimenez
SP Gallardo
SP Verlander
SP Anderson
SP Britton
SP De La Rosa
RP Broxton
RP Madson
RP Adams
DL Cueto

8 team head to head with the usual + errors and holds. Castro really only helped me with batting average and runs, so I think it was good getting Anderson with the way Jimenez and Gallardo have been struggling.

I'd love to trade one of my outfielders as Bruce on the bench isn't great, but no one seems to want to give up pitching.

draft position wise you killed it. Starlin is good, but so is Brett. Pitching is scarcer this year and there's plenty of suitable MI fill ins.

again totally disagree - scoring is down from even last year - ss is scarce - still not a bad trade. but in an 8 team league, it doesnt matter bc every team is good

again totally disagree

Shortstop may be valuable, but there is no value if you have two and one is sitting on your reserves.

Looks like a pretty shallow league, he's got 10 players that were taken in the top 72 in my league.
1B M. Cabrera
2B Pedroia
3B A. Rodriguez
OF Ethier
OF Pence
BN Bruce
SP Lee
SP Jimenez
SP Gallardo
SP Verlander

Useful draft tool and evaluating tool early in the year
The Mean Draft position heading into the season for the two SSs and Brett Anderson are as follows:
82 Alexei Ramirez SS 81.85
122 Brett Anderson SP 130.72
158 Starlin Castro SS 158.15
