What about my Garza, Zimmerman, Kinsler for Marcum, Greinke, and NapoliI would start Phillips at 2B. Napoli is a modest improvement over what I currently have at cathcer.
i dont like it, which zimmerman? jordan? hes as good as, if not better, than greinke right now
Jordan will be shut down soon. Id rather have Grienke
Can Berkman do it another year?Keeper league that allows us to keep $18 worth of playersI've been offered Moustakas(1)Morse(1)for 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 areR Zimmerman(5)Braun(5)Pence(4)Berkman(2)Ackley(1)Trout(1)Or maybe a (2)Espinosa
Id take Moustakas/Morse combo if youre playing for next yr

Jordan Zimmerman and there is no way he is as valuable as Greinke (especially in a h2h league).

Just traded Kershaw for Hellickson and Justin Upton in a dynasty league. :unsure:
Cot damn. I don't think there's a player in the league I'd give up for Kershaw.
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
I think I'd take it down. As nasty as Kershaw has been, Marcum has been incredible himself.I don't see why not.

Which of the Boesch or Bruce do you like better.

Thanks

r u playinfor this yr cuz thats a lot to give up in a dynasty the two best prospects. but u r getting quite the haul if ur goin for it all this yr i say go for it
 
I counter offered with the same package except I give up Howard and he gives up Fielder. He's going to accept it now. I definitely like Fielder long term over Howard. He's quite a bit younger, hits for similar power with a much better average.

 
So I receive Gordon, Fielder, Gio and Bailey. Now I turn and offer Carlos Santana, Alex Gordon and Scherzer to the guy from Cleveland for Sabathia and Joe Mauer. Our league Scores CG heavily and CGSOs are ridiculous.

11-team standard roto league that has 8 pitching slots...

Mine: Haren, Shields, Gallardo, Bumgarner, Billingsley, Scherzer, Cordero, Axford, Walden (J. Zimmerman on bench)

His: Lester, Lee, Garcia, Beachy, Masterson, Worley, Brian Wilson, Bastardo (P. Hughes on bench)

He's looking for a closer. I'm in the top 3 in saves and can just grab Mike Adams or whoever will close in SD (assuming Bell is traded). I can also grab Parnell/Beato.

Thinking of Gallardo/Billingsley + Walden for Garcia. Does that seem fair? Which of Gallardo/Billingsley?

 
Id rather have Gallardo than Garcia so not sure why would do that. Bills + Walden seems fair (and still might be overpaying IMO).

Interesting ... I was also thinking of packaging Haren with Walden for Lester/Lee. Just to hedge against another 2nd half collapse from Haren. Would probably be overpaying from a value standpoint, but there will probably be a closer on waivers once a trade happens...

If you can get Lee that would be a great job selling Haren high. Lester is more of a lateral move but dont blame you for doing so.
 
I just offered Phillips for Lester, but would settle for Greinke or probably even Marcum. I've got Kinsler and Phillips has been riding my bench.

 
Was just offered Moustakas, Hosmer, and Dominic Brown

for

Braun and Longoria - Why on earth would I consider this. It is a Dynasty. But really - Longo is having a down year but Moustakas will be closer to a Casey Blake than a Longria. Hosmer looks studly. In my league Braun is the second highest scoring offensive player. Hosmer can only hope to put up numbers close to Brauns.

I countered with Longo and Braun for Hosmer and Lincecum

 
I offered Jordan Zimmerman and Chad Billingsley for Kershaw, but the guy rejected because he had no other #1s. Looking at the rest of his staff he has Ogando, Garcia, and CJ Wilson. I thought about offering Brandon Phillips straight up for any one of those, which would allow him to move Roberts to 3B and bench McGehee. The two of us are running 1/2 with me 2 wins up.

Kinsler is my regular 2B, and Phillips has been splitting time at my two utility spots between LoMo, Texeira, and Jennings

Thoughts?

Another thought was also offering Zimmerman and Billingsley for David Price.

My initial thought is I'd rather have JZ and CB +2 over Kershaw. So that's a good reject for you I think.Then I'd deal Phillips pretty quickly for those guys knowing you have other solid options at UTIL. Would target Wilson first.

I'm trying to deal JZ before he hits his innings cap and gets shut down for the rest of the year. Should have specified this a h2h league and not roto which makes a huge difference there.
 
I thought the Price deal was good for me, but then I looked at the schedules. My concern with Price is that his schedule during my playoffs is awful.

vs Tex

vs Boston

@ Bal

@ Bos

@ NYY

vs Tor

vs NYY

My recollection is that he doesn't do well @ Bos or @ NYY.

While Billingsley schedule is:

@ Was

@ SF

vs Ari

vs Pit

vs SF

@ SD

@ Ari

Makes sense...I thought you meant up to wins in the roto category. Didn't even think about JZ's inning issue. I'd stjill do the Phillips offerrs.

He rejected saying this: I like the idea but Wilson has been ok this year. I hate everyday that I see McGehee in my lineup. If I just had Polanco or better yet if I hadn't traded Kinsler to you when he was sucking so bad. I just don't think I have enough quality to trade right now. I have quantity but that's only if you want Morneau back, and I am going to doubt that heavily.Should I offer that for Garcia or Ogando or just move on? The trade he mentions was me sending Morneau and Thornton (can't remember) for Valverde and Kinsler.

Thoughts on Billingsley and Phillips for Jamie Garcia and CJ Wilson? Or should I offer Ubaldo?

I'm torn on Ubaldo. I think getting out of Coors will help him dramatically, check his splits, but going to AL will hurt him as well.

If you can withstand the loss of Phillips (I believe you have Kinsler?) Id definitely do that deal. Billingsley is VERY inconsistent.
 
So Ive been offering Shaun Marcum around the league for an OF. I play in a H2H league so pitchers are valuable and Marcum is a good one. I was rejected Stanton for Marcum although Im trying to make a counteroffer. Is Victorino for Marcum fair value? I think so. Best I was offered was Swisher for Marcum. Thats not enough I dont think. Thoughts?

What about Beltran? I just got offered Beltran for Marcum

Swisher got off to a rough start, but he has an OPS of .997 over the last 2 months. I'd go with him before Beltran

Thanks, rotoworld seems to agree with you that Beltran is not enough. Ill pass on Beltran and Swisher for now and keep trying for StantonWhat about Pence for Marcum?

Which side do you like better?

Ogando / Cruz / Nathan for CC / Bruce / Headley
The other owner changed the original deal a little bit. Does this change any opinions on which side is better?new deal offered

Ogando / Cruz / Jed Lowrie for CC / Bruce / Headley

I would get the CC side of the deal. It's still a good deal for me right?

With Daniel Murphy out I'm screwed at 3B. One team has Sandoval at Util and Youkilis at 3B...I offered Starlin Castro straight up for Sandoval (it's a roto league and he's up 30 HRs on the next team but SBs are close so I figured it was a decent trade off) but was denied. I'm thinking of adding 2 pitchers to the deal.

My SPs: Cliff Lee, Shields, Gallardo, Bumgarner, Scherzer, Billingsley

His SPs: Chacin, Kuroda, Danks, Morrow, Fister, Wandy Rodriguez, Britton (DL)

Any thoughts on which 2 SPs to swap along with Sandoval/Castro? I'm not so sure that I can give him a meaningful upgrade without hurting my staff too much...

Regardless of who I offer, he may just ask for Shields...is Youkilis/Kuroda for Shields a decent deal? I lose a ton of Ks, but I'm kinda desperate as there are no 3Bs available. I'm waiting for Lawrie to gain eligibility...

Hitting fifth in the Phillies lineup, I think Pence would be good value if you can't get Stanton
 
Just shipped Bonifacio, BJ Upton, Hellickson, and Adam Jones for Halladay and Quentin

League scores pitchers heavily and CGSO go for big points. Halladay is generally the #1 player overall. Bonifacio was a waiver pick-up. I didn't want to lose Jones as I've always been a believer and he's coming around. Leaves my outfield looking like this: Braun, Kemp, J Upton, Alex Gordon, Hamilton, Boesch, Reddick (I'm liking him) and Quentin. I think I'll survive in that department having 4 of the top 8 OFs.

The trade I made right before that one same league - Dynasty H2H

I give:

Trout

Strasburg

Howard

I get:

Andrew Bailey

Alex Gordon

Prince Fielder

Gio Gonzalez

Zach Greinke

I think I win Here for sure - Thoughts?

thanks I ended up getting Pence for Marcum and then shipping Price for Sandoval & Kennedy. Im a trading machine.
