First Deal = Huge Steal for you. Pujols is a monster who will probably not slow down. Thome and Schilling are injury risks, and Sizemore is getting better and better

I agree with Pean, trade Thome while his value is as high as it's going to get his season. I like your third deal. I like Kazmir, especially since its a keeper league.

THe first two deals are absolute steals for you. I wouldn't do the third, though. I think you can get a more dependable pitcher for Rolen.

The key to all those trades is that it's a keeper league. You've made yourself younger, and much better (especially in the first trade). Kazmir is one of my favorites, and I keep waiting for him to become consistent in my own keeper league. The flashes of brilliance from him are wonderful, it's the other starts that make me scratch my head.
