Just traded for Braun.......go figure

whatcha give up? Calf injuries usually linger.

Keeper league with some strange keeper values. Each year we get $18 to spend on our keepers($ value)I'm out of it and looking towards next season, this was nothing more than a dump trade.Cliff Lee(7)Youk(7)Papelbon(4)forBraun(5)Jerrjens(2)Rolen(1)The other owner did not want to trade away Braun.

Greinke will really test one's faith in terms of using peripheral stats to gauge skill. Obviously his K/BB numbers are off the charts, but his LOB%, line drive rate/BABIP, and HR/FB are all brutal.

I think I'd go with Marcum. But this late in the season, you might want to chart out everyone's remaining starts, and maybe SOS will help you make a decision. Pineda's will probably be best, but there's always the chance of an IP cap for him.

yep thanks. Marcum was the guy I was leaning towards as well.

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

This trade has been an epic disaster

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Not a trade, but I have these marginal hitters and Willingham coming off the DL. Who do I drop?

Moreland

Snider

D. Brown

Willingham

 

[shadyridr]

Id probably drop Willingham

 

[shadyridr]

So as discussed above Im in a 5 player keeper league. Its a H2H pts league. I am about to be 8-6 but should be able to make the playoffs. I wanna try to win this year. I offered the following trade to another league member who is out of it and just looking for keepers and he said hed think about it.

I give:

Miggy & a bunch of bench depth

I get:

Hamilton, Cueto, THudson, Gaby

This improves my weak pitching and I would think Hamilton & Gaby would make up for the loss of Miggy if they stay healthy.

Even though Im playing for this yr I dont wanna kill my keepers. Then my 5 keepers would be between: Reyes, Hamilton, Cruz, Arod, Grienke, Pineda. Yeah thats a pretty injury prone keeper list lol

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Id probably drop Willingham

Even with the chance he gets traded to a decent park?

 

[Captain Hook]

I was offered Chris Young for any of the following players:GrienkeMarcumPinedaARodObviously if I trade ARod Id have to ask for a lesser 3B in return (he has Reynolds & Aramis). The other 3 would be a straight up trade IMO. Please note this is a H2H points league. I need an OF desperately (currently starting Cruz, BJUpton, Ethier, Joyce). My pitching is nothing special but deep (Grienke, Marcum, Pineda, Garza, Scherzer, Nolasco, Humber, Karstens, Worley)Also keep in mind this is a keeper league and I can keep 5. The Justin Upton deal above fell apart

Keeper considerations are a distant second to WINNING nowIF you can trade ARod and a lesser pitcher for CY and Aramis I think that would help your teamI wouldnt' trade any of those pitchers for a guy who is a .240 hitter

Never really thought of that. Id drop Snider then. Just not a big believer in him

If you're pretty much locked into the quarterfinals, I wouldn't deal Miggy.

My 1B & UT now is Miggy & Freese (or Joyce). My two bottom SPs are Nolasco & Garza. I play in a H2H pts league. I just did the PPG breakdown and if I replace those 4 players with the 4 from the deal (into my starting lineup) I would get 10 more PPG (week) from the Hamilton, Sanchez, Cueto, Hudson combo. So if everyone stays healthy this deal would help me this year and obviously hurt me next year. Are you saying I shouldnt take the risk due to low probability of winning it all this year?

Not b/c of the low probability of winning this year, but b/c a one-week H2H matchup is pretty random. Let's say you're a 50-50 shot to win any given week vs. any given opponent. You'd have a 12.5% chance of winning. How much would a 10 point boost per week bump that team up to? Let's say 53%. That would boost your chances up to 14.8%. I wouldn't sacrifice Miggy to improve your title hopes by 2.3%.I've been in an h2h league for 9 years now, and I think the higher-seeded teams in our league have a losing record against the lower-seeded teams. Everyone bounces up and down so much, there's really not much you can do. Get in, hopefully get into a bye, and cross your fingers.

I pulled back the deal for now. I really need to improve my pitching. I offered the same guy Grienke for Cueto, ASanchez, and Big Papi (remember the guy is out of it and looking for keepers).

I need help in Ks, so here's a deal I have been offered (finally) Just a roto league.

Texeira

B. Wilson

Jair Jurrjens

Jered Weaver

Lincecum

I have the lead in HRs, but it's close and I just sent Tulo and Pence away for Tex and Brandon Phillips. I'm hoping Phillips helps out in SB, and the other guy losing tex means that even with Tulo, I should hold my lead on him in HRs.

Jurrjens leaving hurts ERA and WHIP, but Weaver is great there and Lincecum provides some serious strikeout help as well.

I have the lead in saves, and I've got Mike Adams on the bench so I shouldn't take too big a hit there.

Is your lineup posted somewhere? Seems like you're giving up a little too much at first sight, even if you're selling high on Jurrjens. Maybe you can offer a lesser pitcher than Jurrjens?

 

[INRIhab]

5x5 league, we use OBP instead of AVG.

Giving up Castro + Haren

Getting Victorino + Price

I know that Haren has historically been a poor second half pitcher. Price has never really gotten on a roll this season, and his ERA seems to be inflated. Victorino would displace Castro at Util for me ... good deal for me?

 

[cobalt_27]

5x5 10-team Keeper league (keep 3 each year):

Heyward

Pena

for

Trout

Freeman

I only go on what I've read of Trout. Never seen the kid play. More upside than Heyward?

And, this owner also has Bryce Harper. Should I give any consideration to him, as well, or not bother with him for next year?

Thanks.

If you are building your roster for this year I would be glad to get Trout and FreemanTrout will have a lot more SB than Heyward but fewer home runs. I think he will be more valuable for roto teams than Heyward in future years.

and wth is Bryce Howard??? If you mean Bryce Harper, Washington, you should do anything you can to get him - ASSUMING that you are not trying to win this year.

If you needed more offense and have good enough pitching not to miss Greinke then maybe.....I don't like it but doesn't mean it won't workAnd there are no plans that will work re ARod for the next six weeks while he recovers from knee surgery

Just got another offer for Miggy in my keeper league. I get JUp & Price. Im itching to pull the trigger here and I can keep up to 5 players so I can keep both those guys. My top 3 pitchers right now are awful (Marcum, Pineda, Scherzer). I wish this guy offered me this before I traded Grienke cuz this would give me a surplus of OFers but then I can try and trade Ethier for more SP or IF help. Morse is my IF now and would slide into Miggy's spot

The only thing you gain on the hitting side with that trade is a few stolen bases - a loser in every other category

Guy in my league made two trades, curious to see what people think. 14 team OBP. H2H, and he typically does not use closers.

C: Iannetta

1B: Fielder

2B: Pedroia

3B: Zimmerman

SS: Drew

OF: Berkman

OF: Heyward

OF: Morse

DH: Gordon

DH: S. Smith

BN: Ibanez

P: Capuano

P: Dempster

P: Hamels

P: Hudson

P: Lilly

P: W. Rodriguez

P: A. Sanchez

BN: Guthrie

BN: McCarthy

BN: Holland

Trade 1: Fielder for BJ Upton and Drew Stubbs

Trade 2: Hamels for John Rauch, Ian Kennedy, Alexei Ogando

 

[shadyridr]

1st one isnt bad. He gives up the best player by far but he gets back to 4 category players that kill OBP (Is this a pts league?)

Trade 2 is awful

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Not points. 5x5, with OBP instead of average.I thought they were both bad, but that 1 was worse. Stubbs is scuffling terribly, and Dusty has been dropping him in the lineup /benching him. Not as sexy when he's not leading off.

BJ Upton is on pace for nearly a 30/40 season. He gets a bad rap due to his BA but maybe the guy is punting that category. Dont get me wrong I still like the Fielder side but dont think its terrible.

I need to upgrade my pitching staff, especially with Zimmerman about to hit his innings limit, and I can't expect Jurrjens and Shields to keep up their production.

The guy I've targeted doesn't negotiate...he either accepts it or not.

My team:

C: A.J. Pierzynski

1B: Miguel Cabrera

2B: Brandon Phillips

SS: Derek Jeter

3B: Pablo Sandoval

UTL: Mark Teixeira, Ian Kinsler

OF: Curtis Granderson, Matt Holliday, Bobby Abreu

BN: Logan Morrison

SP: Ubaldo Jimenez, Chad Billingsley, Trevor Cahill, Matt Garza, Jarr Jurrjens, James Shields, Jordan Zimmerman, Rich Harden

RP: Mariano Rivera, Jose Valverde, Joel Hanrahan, Joe Nathan

DL: Erik Bedard

His team:

C: Napoli

1B: Michael Cuddyer

2B: Ben Zorbist

3B: Mark Reynolds

SS: Stephen Drew

OF: Braun, Froncoeur, Huff

UTL: Markakis, Rasmus

BN: Soto, Hill, Figgins, Izturis

SP: CC, Greinke, Marcum, Edwin, Myers, Lester, Masterson

RP: Putz, Street, Lidge, Walden

I would love to get Greinke and or Marcum. I'm willing to give up Texeira, which he could use. I would like to get Napoli as well obviously, but I'd rather get pitching. FWIW, I'm in first place (barely) in a h2h, 12 team, yahoo league.

So what's the question? You can't make trades on a message board - CALL HIM.......have a conversation, and eventually tell him you have extra power - Teixeira or Kinsler

The question is what should I be prepared to offer for Greinke and or Marcum. If I lowball him he will simply not respond. In my opinion Texeira or Kinsler are worth more than either alone.I've emailed him several times.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Don't give up Teixeira for either of those guys.

 

[rascal]

What about my Garza, Zimmerman, Kinsler for Marcum, Greinke, and Napoli

I would start Phillips at 2B. Napoli is a modest improvement over what I currently have at cathcer.

Is this a good deal for me in a 14 team H2H?

Alex Avila for Moreland

I already have Mauer at catcher

Can Berkman do it another year?

Keeper league that allows us to keep $18 worth of players

I've been offered

Moustakas(1)

Morse(1)

Berkman(2)

No one expected Berkman to do what he's done this year....the question is, can he do it again?

My core of keepers right now are

R Zimmerman(5)

Braun(5)

Pence(4)

Berkman(2)

Ackley(1)

Trout(1)

Or maybe a (2)Espinosa
