Keepers and dynos? Yeah, if you can. Redraft? No. I'm not sure what's causing the problems, but he's having major location issues and that's not easy for a guy with as little experience as him to fix.

2nd week of May every year is when I put in the trade offers, seems I always get one to bite in the 4 leagues I'm in.

Haven't paid too much attention but wasn't he battling an injury in April? Could be a cause of some of the issues.

It was part of the problem I'm sure, but would it be causing him to miss a lot? Not sure. 29 K's to only 24 hits is bad news.

Thumb injuries can be a #####. Konerko's 2008 was a lost cause because of one.

BABIP is low but even after than normalizes, he'll still be Alexei Ramirez

Thanks for that tidbit. I'm brimming with confidence for Upton this year now.'Limp Ditka said:

And it will still be the SS position.His 3 year average in my points league has him as the 4th best SS in baseball. So, as with everything, it really depends on the league. 5X5He won't hurt / help you in average, but probably kill you in OBP if your league counts it.He'll be above average in counting stats and throw in about 10 SBs

No, I think he's a touch overrated. He won't be a megabeast this year at least, IMO watching him play. I think you'll get what you got last year with a .250 avg and closer to 100 RBI but I think he'll end right around that 20 hr mark.

Think Morrow is a sell high?
He dominated some pretty crappy teams. But has been roughed up every time he's faced teh AL East.
Has he been moved in anyone's league? What has he fetched?

Struggling owner said he wants to shuffle the deck and wants to see what Bautista and Starlin will get him. I offered up Hanley + R Zimmerman + Aviles + Hanrahan. Arguably upgrades SS, downgrades 3B, adds another INF body (he needs one), and a closer (needs one badly). Good starting point?

Starting point? I'd walk away if he doesn't take it.

Really? I thought I was low balling him a bit but I'm also low on Zimm. Only have him because I got him for a prospect last year from a team in sell mode midseason, helped me get back in the $!Anyway, he countered with Hanrahan + Hanley for Starlin. That's a no.

Hmm...
Bautista
Starlin
Chipper (just need him to somehow stay intact for 6 weeks - I get Longoria back)
for
Hanley
R Zimm
LoMo (long term, good, this year I think his knee bothers him all year)
Hanrahan
Accept.
Banking on finding saves on waivers, but if I do this trade's a win on my end at least imho.

From what you've posted, I like this trade for you

Is David Wright a sell high? And if so, who can I go after?
Is Pujols a buy low? Would that be asking too much if I did a Wright for Pujols kind of deal?

sounds like the definition of buy low/sell high

I would probably prefer Wright at least for now, but yes it's fair.

Buy lawrie? Just got offered him for ackley. I'm covered at 3rd but also have the 2b depth to give and think he's a got lottery ticket
cheese
Footballguy
I'm thinking you might be too late now to get him at a big discount. I would've sold him off in a few leagues 2 weeks ago. Now, I'm asking way more or holding.
i'd do that now
Grahamburn

His last 3 starts have all been good. Granted, they came against Houston, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland. That being said, the NL East and the National League in general is pretty offensively challenged. He'll get some cheap wins even if he doesn't have his best stuff.He was consistently touching 94 yesterday, and you can tell the command is starting to come back.

I made a classice buy low, sell high 1 for 1 trade this weekend. Got Ryan Zimmerman for Lance Lynn. Surprised the guy did it since Lynn has been regressing some lately. I needed power and had a hole at 3B since losing Longoria.

In my 16 Team league he is.
nice trade.

I made this exact trade in the preseason. Obviously a dynasty league, but I'd still do it in a redraft now if you have 2b locked down like I did (Cano/Kipnis).
Smack Tripper
Footballguy
Ended up passing on it for now. I have Trumbo and Encarnacion for 3b options, with Goldschmidt and LoMo being Corner infielder position filler as well.Up the middle, my 2b/MI slots are manned by Kipnis, who's solid and Weeks, who's been a let down. I've done well rotating the 3 guys into 2 spots and while Lawrie's offensive upside is obvious, and I question the long term productivity of EE and Trumbo, I decided to stay strong up the middle. I could certainly regret this.I should also mention, its a keeper structure where I can keep Ackley for two seasons.

matt moore has looked good
lol...and I own him. Half of my pitchers I've seen on buy low lists: Scherzer, Lester, and Gallardo.
Mr. Peterson

Is R.A. Dickey a good sell high or a hold? Any buy low pitchers to go after?
Also, any players with high stolen bases out there that can be traded for in the cheap?

Buy low on Morse?

Well that didn't go as I expected. Lynn is regressing now but I missed a lot of great starts. Meanwhile I toiled for a month with Zimmerman, waiting for him to turn it around. The guy sucked the life out of my offense, pulling down my BA and adding nothing in return. I was able to get Middlebrooks off the wire when someone dropped him and now Zimmerman is a FA.....and no one is biting. There that loser sits.Buy low/Sell high doesn't always work so well.
