Hmm... I think I might actually do that. Cruz is a great talent but the odds that he is healthy for the whole season are slim. Kennedy won't put up last years numbers but he could be solid for 15-18 wins 3.2 era.1B is so weak after the top 5 or so this year that Tex would be a big upgrade for you. You can probably find someone on the WW in the season or even Boesch to put up numbers a little below Cruz. While your pitching without Kennedy looks a little thin, since it is H2H points, I think you can get away with some streaming. __________________________________________________Facts: It is a 12 team, H2H points league with 4 keepers.My pitching staff is Kershaw, Hernandez, Latos, Ervin Santana, Derek Holland, Mike Minor, Chris SalePapelbon, Hanrahan, Marmol.

that is tough...I like the improvement in your offense obviously, but you are losing a big component of your pitching. Grienke and Kennedy give you a good 1-2, and I'm not sure you have the pitching depth to replace that.'shadyridr said:My team:

Agreed, the other guy obviously smells your desperation and is trying to feed of it. Yes, it sucks losing to closers so early but Capps could very easily lose his job sometime this year and very likely sometime in the next few weeks you might be able to pick up a new replacement closer. Whether it is Addison Reed, Rex Brothers etc, closers come and go so I wouldn't make the deal. If you are in a bind, try and pick up Peralta if he is still on the WW because of the Farnsworth injury. ___________________________________On my front I offered Felix Hernandez, Carlos Marmol and Markakis or Melky for Holliday, Bumgarner and Matt Thornton...

Paul Goldschmidt smacks 38 homers, finishes ahead of Mark Teixeira among first basemen in total value
Despite a sluggish spring, Goldy will still be the Schmidt. His aggressiveness at the dish combined with a skyward 21.1 HR/FB percentage over 156 at-bats last year and a friendly home environment are strong indicators he could blast his way into the NL home run title mix. Throw in his ability to steal bases and a top-five end line at his position isn't out of the question.
177 PAs is a small sample size in either event but I'd be more concerned about his 29.9% strikeout percentage than his 21.1% HR/FB ratio.This guy says no.

Your starting pitching is strong enough that you don't need a Cain. I would sit tight on Melky too, I'm not a fan but in a shallow league a high K MR doesn't hold much value and he isn't going to sniff saves for a while unless there's an injury. Speaking of injuries, just wait for one and then the market price for your CI's/OF's may go up.I was recently offered two trades ... Kenley Jansen for Melky Cabrera, and Matt Cain for Alex Gordon + Lucas Duda10-team 5x5 (OBP instead of AVG)C - Y. Molina1B - Fielder2B - Kendrick3B - LawrieSS - A. RamirezMI - AybarCI - Ike DavisOF - CarGoOF - BruceOF - Alex GordonOF - EthierOF - MaybinUTIL - ButlerBN - DudaBN - MelkyBN - KipnisBN - GoldschmidtBN - GamelSP - Grienke, Latos, Luebke, Beachy, Minor, Wandy, NicasioRP - Bell, Street, Bailey (DL)With Davis/Goldschmidt/Duda, I'd like to choose one option for CI and use the others as trade bait. Everyone is obviously low on Melky's projections and I can't get an established closer for him. Jansen seems like a decent consolation since Melky is a borderline Top 50 OF...On the Cain trade I'm simply not sure. I'm not too high on Alex Gordon and can easily see him underproducing relative to last season. Cain seems to always outproduce his xFIP by a large margin, I'm not sure why that is. I generally don't trade for big pitchers, but Gordon is coming off a career year so it may be worthwhile...any opinions?
Classic quantity over quality trade offer. Ellsbury is by far the best player in the deal. Ervin Santana doesn't do anything for your staff other than add depth and you really don't need Walden that much at all. Melky is solid but he is a #3 OF. Don't do the trade. Only trade Ellsbury in a deal where you are also getting a stud in return. If you want pitching depth, just offer Ellsbury to an owner with basically any SP you want. Some leagues you could probably get Halladay/Kershaw/Verlander level for Ellsbury, some you might not but basically with Ellsbury you should be getting back a top 20 player.Was just offered this trade in a standard 10 team Head to Head leauge.

Granderson vs. Ellsbury is a lot closer in an obp league, so it's really just a matter of preference but you're a lot higher on your speed than I am. You have 3 guys that run a lot, one that runs some, and no one else may hit double digits.was offered granderson straight up for ellsbury. i think i have plenty of speed and can use the HRs from granderson
question is whether or not Granderson can repeat his power numbers this year.
any reason for me to do this?

Not sure I would be going after Lincecum at his time but if you think it's just a glitch and want to buy low than I think the best offer might come down to a deal with Uggla.

Perfectly reasonable trade for both sides IMO. If anything, it might be worth asking to stall a day or two to see if Romo's got the job. Even if not though, finding a 3rd closer when you need one is normally cake as the season goes on in a 10 teamer.10 team mixed H2H 5x5. Pitching wise start 6 SP, 3 RP. Guy I'm trading only has 2 healthy closers, and they stink. I need SP help. I give Kimbrel and Garcia.I get Strasburg.Giving up alot in Kimbrel, but I need help and I have Romo (Picked up last week before the Beard went down), Marmol, Jim Johnson, and Storen (DL spot). I want Strasburg bad, and he needs better closers so I think this works.Thoughts?
I don't like Strasburg in a H2H. Yea, you need to get to the playoffs first, but when you get there one of the horses that took you is down for the count.10 team mixed H2H 5x5.

There are somethings to consider for sure, but personally I'd take Hanley and figure it out from there.
I made the deal.Now I have to figure out how to get some value for Andrus.I will see if I can package him him an OF, maybe Adam Jones or Nick Swisher, maybe add Adam Lind too for some pitching.Here is my team (6x6 with Holds and OBP):Andrus is not a good UTIL option, but I would still take the deal then try to flip Andrus for something else. Even if you have to take a small loss in dealing him that loss is more than off set in upgrading to Han Ram.
