Wow, my team is very similar.
First of all, Rolen can rake, no doubt about that. He's still not worth 3 players that are kicking ass right now. On the other hand, if the player you're trading for was Blalock, I might be inclined to do it, but I'd try to make it D Lee instead of Casey.
How are you doing as far as being on track to use your max innings? With 5 starters, you might run out.
Mora can hit too, but he' s no power guy. I think you're fine, especially with Mueller as a backup. He'll get things together and go on a tear eventually.
I also think you should trade Leiter. He's not striking guys out at any incredible rate, he doesn't get the run support to win games, and his ERA will be going up soon. Looking at his career numbers the guy has had little consistancy. One year he has an ERA in the low to mid 3's, next year it's in the high 3's to mid 4's. Other times he's been just bad.
I'd check and see if Jose Valverde (AZ) is taken in your league. He took Mantei's place and he was lights out last year and has been most of this year. AZ is really shaky so he might not get a ton of saves, but the rotation is so shaky that he'll eat up a lot of innings with a high K rate. You can never have too many closers and it's always nice to have 5 closers.
