Would you give up Jurrjens and Hanrahan for Wandy Rodriguez and Ryan Dempster?My pitching staff:Shields, Bedard, Garza, Billingsley, Cahill, Jurrjens, Zimmerman, JimenezRivera, Valverde, Hanrahan, Gregg, MelanconI'd prefer to give up Gregg or Melancon, but I doubt he would do it (he needs closer help).I'm currently tied for first place in a 12 team h2h league.

yuck no way

giving up hammerham and jurrjens should net you a better return then waney and demp. Go for a stud SP. take a look at some rosters and see who needs saves. Offer hammyham and jurrjens for his #1 or #2. See what happens. Work down from there. Godspeed on your mission.

Don't like the trade for a multitude of reasons. Top 3 are....1. You are giving up Votto and no one coming back would make me move Votto.2. Hanson's scratched from tomorrow's start with a sore shoulder (tendonitis)3. Haren has historically been a 1st half pitcher.

[Evilgrin 72]

Just got offered Ryan Howard straight up for Paul Konerko. I'd have to be nuts not to do this, right? Not a keeper league, so it's only through the end of the season. FWIW, on the year (stats only for our scoring categories) :Konerko : .322 BA 16 HR, 52 RBI, 32 R, 1 SBHoward : .247 BA, 13 HR, 53 RBI, 32 R, 0 SB

This isn't as much of a slam dunk as you might think, but I would be inclined to take the deal. I expect Konerko to cool off a bit and Howard to hit a streak at some point. That being said, I have made a ton of bad trades over the years!

It's really just a matter of whether or not Konerko does cool off, he's been great all year. Maybe I should counter-offer and see if I can upgrade another position at the same time.

I countered and offered 2 duds I drafted high that haven't performed. Offered Konerko, Shin-Soo Choo, and Jayson Werth for Howard, Lance Berkman, and Ryan Ludwick.

I wouldn't take that if I was him, but that would be good for you IMO. Berkman scares me with his injuries, but he is enfuego thus far.

He rejected it. I thought he might sell high on Berkman and buy low on Werth and Choo.

I countered with Konerko, Werth, and Kuroda for Howard and Berkman. Losing Kuroda doesn't really hurt my staff as I can put a waiver claim in on Cueto and I already have Halladay, Lincecum, Price, Buchholz, Hellickson, and Hudson.

Would you move Marcum for Morse?

I think Marcum's value has peaked to a point. I'm expecting it to take a hit the next couple of weeks with BOS / TB / NYY upcoming. Then it starts to rebuild.

I have SPs to fall back on (Weaver, Kennedy, Bedard, Max, Garza)

And I could use the help at RF with Choo and Vlad being mediocre.

Obviously an OF specific league, and with Hamilton as my LF.... I can always use a backup plan in case he goes down.

Part of my mentality lies in the fact that I'm heavily invested in Marcum (3 leagues). And I'm in good shape to contend in all 3 leagues. Seems kind of smart to "diversify my funds" so to speak.

Good trade or bad trade in a 10 team keeper league. This was a 8 team league, and it grew to 10 teams 3 years ago. My team was 1 of 2 expansion teams, we started with basically nothing.

Now my team is 8-2, tied for the top spot.Bottom line, I need a catcher. Currently I have

Wieters, he just isn't getting the job done. The offer is below.Avila is the 3rd rated catcher,Ramirez is the 6th rated SS,Drew is the #8 SS.The team I'm trading with is 8-2 as well, but is in a different division.

Alpha Empire have offered you a trade in the Continental

Nice bench size there.

I'd do the trade. Drew and Ramirez are pretty close in my eyes.

 

[ohioplayer]

yeah, we start 16,have a bench of 16, and 5 minor leaguers. We keep 16 and 5 minors.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Daily lineups? LoMo and Joyce are both devastating platoon players.

 

[ohioplayer]

Weekly line-up's, hard to improve your team in a 10 team league via the trade, been looking to upgrade at catcher for 3 years. I think I have a chance to win if I can get a catcher and stay healthy.

[rascal]

Have you thought about doing a combo with Salty and Varitek?

It is pretty well set it stone, and if look at their number it is pretty good. Plus you don't have to give up Ramirez. Problem is having the extra roster spot available.

 

[ohioplayer]

We start 1C, it's a weekly line-up. Not sure how I can juggle 2 catchers, not sure I want to try.Good idea though.The only reason I'm considering making this trade is, Drew and Ramirezout put is about the same. I need a catcher.Lately, Drew has been improving, and Rameriz,has leveled off. I think this is a trade I might have to make.

Not dynasty

Troy Tulowtzki and Melky Cabarera for Jay Bruce

Which team gets the better deal? (I have Jay Bruce) The team with Jay Bruce has Manny Ramirez at shortstop and remaining outfielders are A. McCutchen, Soriano, and Quenton with Cabarera (part of the trade) being on the bench.

Also, a recent trade I made was I traded Austin Jackson AND Prince Fielder for Albert Pujols. Obviously Fielder's numbers alone beat Albert's but I made the deal thinking Fielder may cool off and Pujols could be hot 2nd half of the season.

All thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks Hook, that's what I thought. My problem is I get a little thin in the OF without Bruce and have multiple top shortstops (if you can call H. Ramirez one now).I just gave up Austin Jackson and Prince Fielder for Pujols, so if I pull the trigger on this deal, I'd actually have the top 3 picks in our draft, not that getting those guys ensures me of anything but thinking before the All-Star break I'd have all 3 of those guys on my team, I wouldn't think it very possible.

uh oh I think I may have pulled off a bad trade. Ive been looking for a 2B for weeks now as I loathe my current 2B (Hill). Sent a bunch of offers last night and one was accepted this morning that Im already regretting a bit.

I gave: 2B Hill & SP Ogando

I get: 2B Kendrick & SP Garza

I figured it was an upgrade at 2B while selling Ogando "high" and buying Garza low. But looking at the #s and Garza kind of stinks so far. Did I just make a boo boo?

I like it. While Ogando has been fantastic, one has to think he's going to fade as the season wears on. Hot Texas summer, unprecedented inning load has already begun for him too.Before the elbow flared up, Garza geek-stated as the unluckiest pitcher in baseball. And outside of his first outing back, which was in Cincy, he really hasn't been all that bad. The last outing might look bad, but it was with the wind blowing out at Wrigley v a good Milwaukee offense and he did get the WAnd Kendrick>>>>>>>>>>>>Hill. IMO, if I were to project 6/20 forward, you got the 2 best players in the deal.

I think so - quick who has a higher batting average over the last week (maybe two)?Yeah, Hill

Ogando >>>> Garza

On balance you probably get better BAvg at 2B and maybe a few more SB but other categories could be close - for that you gave up the much better pitcher in the deal

hooray for small sample sizes. Hill's put up a stream of crap for about 9 straight months now. One or two weeks isn't going to change my mind.And you really don't think Ogando fades? I think it's inevitable. The guy's already 20% over his career high in innings pitched and it's only mid-June.

Plus Garza's FIP, xFIP and K/9 are all significantly better than Ogando's . He's the epitome of buy low right now.

So how crazy is it to try and improve your catcher spot thru a trade? Thinking about offering Gregg and Ianetta for McCann.

The only improvement I would get is a better AVG and RBI.

Just got offered Reyes & Marcum for Kershaw & Castro in a H2H pts keeper league. We can only keep 5 players for 3 yrs so only Reyes & Kershaw are keeper eligible IMO.Reyes is on fire and has scored 70 more pts than Castro. Marcum & Kershaw are closer in pts. Should I counteroffer for Shields instead. Hes less injury prone.PS Wins are worth 12 pts in this league. And Reyes is the #10 overall hitter.

bump

### #### ever since I did this trade Castro has been on fire and just as good as Reyes and Marcum got hurt. Talk about epic disaster.

Any ideas about improving my team/talking me off the ledge due to some bad trades? Im currently about to be 7-5 which is pretty good but hating my pitching staff and OF. Nothing available on the WW right now.

C- McCann

1B- Cabrera

2B- Kendrick

3B- ARod

SS- Reyes

IF- Morse

OF- Cruz

OF- Ethier

OF- Bossman

UT- Blackmon

Bench- Brown, Joyce

SP- Grienke

SP- Marcum

SP- Scherzer

SP- Pineda

SP- Garza

SP- Humber

RP- Hanrahan, Storen

Bench- Matusz, Nolasco, Collmenter

I made 3 trades in the last month that I feel ruined my team:

1. I gave Gordon for Nolasco- before Nolasco started sucking. I figured Gordon was a sell high and Joyce would be a fine everyday UT. oops.

2. I gave Kershaw & Castro for Reyes & Marcum- I still think this trade will be fine but ever since I did it Castro has been on fire, Marcum got hurt, and Kershaw threw a SHO. Reyes has been awesome however.

3. I gave Hill & Ogando for Garza & Kendrick- I think this trade will be ok but Im nervous about Garzo. I hated Hill so happy for the upgrade at 2B.

Any ideas on improving my SP, OF or both?

 

[rascal]

Your SP is okay IMO. You don't have an ace, but you've got a bunch of #2 and should improve once Matusz gets rolling. I'd be concerned about Pineda being on an innings count though.

I don't like your OF either. Is Seth Smith available? Maybe package Hanrahan with an OF to get an upgrade (or is RP at a premium). I think Hanrahan is due for a regression. Unfortunately.

Seth Smith is available but this is a weekly league and doesnt he platoon? The Hanrahan idea is a solid one.

Waiver wire is REALLY thin in our league...Only solid options outside of Lannan are Capuano, Pelfrey, Arietta, Felipe Paulino.I also have Tommy Hanson on the DL so I have a wealth of pitching right now. Shields has arguably been better than all those pitchers listed. I'm not even sure I like giving him up for weeks but right now I'm rolling with Nishioki who is a black hole.
