I took on an expansion team in a 12 Team NL Only 5x5 keeper.  I got priced out on a lot of players and ended up with a really thin offense, but I'm overloaded with starting pitching.  I'm doing well in pitching categories(12/12/11/10/6), but I'm getting smoked in offense(4/1/1/1/1) because of a lack of ABs.  So far my trade negotiations have gotten no where.  I was offered Giovanny Soto for three starers(Latos, Pelfrey, and Perez) and Spilsborugh for Latos.

I shipped a lot for Marshall, in a 10 Team non PPR league.  I sent Portis, Bradshaw, Mason, and Manningham for Marsahll and Tomlinson.  That leaves me with Steven Jackson, Ray Rice, and Tomlinson at RB.  Marshall, Boldin, DeSean Jackson, Kevin Walter, and Kenny Britt at WR.  Start 2 RB, 2 WR, and a W/T flex.  I talked it over with some friends, most weren't against it except for one friend, who was very opposed to the idea.

Thoughts?  Tomlinson at this point is just my bye week back who I'll use on weeks 7 and 8 with matchups against the Chiefs and Raiders.
