Thanks for responding. There are now three guys who want me to veto the trade. Of course, there has now been some fighting on the board. The whole thing is out of control.Yeah thats such BS. I also think the trade is lopsided in your favor but if no collusion is involved then it is obviously should not be vetoed.

Whoa. Now I'd think it over. Details of the league again? Keeper, alternative players, etc?Guy still really wants Crawford.Now has upped it toGreinke, Drabek, Prado and Brucefor Crawford

That means Mark Reynolds, Seth Smith, and probably Arencibia (only have him cause V Mart is on the DL).Does Prado even offer much besides a good BA?

Absolutely. And I'm not very high on Crawford.You only start 4 SP and you have (by my count) 6, maybe 7, SP that are better than Buccholz. You could afford to ship out Buccholz for a hell of alot less than Crawford.Al only, h2h points keeper... Buchholz for Crawford a fair deal? Not enough?I have Weaver, Gio, Hellickson, Buch, Shields, Floyd, Morrow, Masterson at SP (start 4)Baustisa, Cruz, Markakis, Quinton starting in the OF. Not happy with Kake, and I feel like I have plenty of SP depth. Do I even want Crawford?
What's your SB situation like? Is it a keeper league?This is a close call. If you can still finish in the top half of the league in steals without Crawford, I'd probably do it. If it's a keeper league, I think it makes it better too. This might be the last time that Jay Bruce can be had as part of a multi-player deal (where he's not the "one"). I think he's very legit.I like Prado alot. He's not exciting, but there's some pop to along with the runs and AVG.12 team, 5x5 rotoMy pitching is good (Felix, Cain, Oswalt, and others).My OF is (start 3)Logan Morrison (DL)Corey Hart (DL)CrawfordNelson CruzSam FuldSeth SmithIf I took the deal, I would have to dump 3 players.

Thanks for the replies Dr and Pollard. The offer was out there and the other guy thought about it but wound up turning it down. I'll probably have to include another player or draft pick. Trying to get 'er done.'Dr. Awesome said:you give Clay Buchholz and get Carl Crawford? I'd accept that without any hesitation.
Good deal for you if you can get it. And moops I'd take the deal.'shadyridr said:Anyone else thinking about selling high on Gordon and/or Pineda? Just offered them both up for Choo in a keeper league (we can only keep 5 so I dont think Id be able to keep Pineda anyway). Classic buy low/sell high
I would not.Would you trade Aaron Harang and Edwin Jackson for Wandy Rodriguez and David Aardsma?Not entirely sure I want to offer that because I'm not certain Aardsma will regain the closer job, and Harang has been infuego for me.
It's till a 4 for 4 trade as you would have to drop 3 other players. I guess we'd have to see who you were dropping to give informed advice.Guy still really wants Crawford.Now has upped it toGreinke, Drabek, Prado and Brucefor Crawford

Tough call. Nothing wrong with making the trade, but it'll make you weak in saves for a long time, I think. It looks like Storen could runaway with the Nats job and I wouldn't be surprised to see Capps closing for the Twins for a long time. If you really like Sands, though, go for it. For dynasty purposes, it's a good trade.
Now that's a trade.I actually do like the idea of trading Pujols now in a keeper. Being a shallow keeper makes that more difficult, but I like the idea.Trade Advice needed from you sharks:

That could be a wide range, I think. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go for a struggling/injured late 1st round type bat (A-Gonz, CarGo, Hanley, Longo) all the way down to a top 50 type player (something in the Konerko, Heyward, Kinsler, CBY range). Outside of Pujols/Tulo/Miggy/Votto/Braun owners, I don't think you'd offend anyone with an offer for their best hitter. People view SP so differently, it's right to shoot for the stars, I think.what kind of return(bat) should I expect from trading away Cliffy Lee?

Sorry, no dynasty experience.

Nobody ever has the balls to trade away their stars when they are still at near-peak value, but it makes a ton of sense. Pujols will be 32 next year, so I think it does make sense to start planning an exit strategy.
Also love the idea of landing Heyward now. It will and should have to hurt to land him in a keeper.
Normally, I'm not a huge fan of building around elite pitching, but in a league set-up that requires you to keep 2, you're building around pitching whether you want to or not, so I guess it makes sense to have a stud there. I don't trust pitchers, but there probably isn't a better SP keeper than Felix.
As much as I like it, this would be one ballsy, risky move.
By doing this, you need Heyward to absolutely become everything we think he could become (this year) and you need Felix to thrive with whatever situation he lands in next (which is sure to be much more pressure and a worse pitcher's park).
The good news is that it's only a 5 player keeper and Pujols is getting older. Even if it blows up in your face, it certainly won't destroy you. You've got some great keeper options either way and will have plenty of good players to draft each year.
The upside, of course, is that you could have 2 top 5 picks for the next 10 years (Tulo/Heyward) and Felix.
I can't say if I'd do it or not, but I don't think you'd be crazy to.
