So do I go through with it or no?

These are the 2 possible deals I have for him:

1) Verlander for Morneau

2) Verlander, Damon, Howard for Longoria, Granderson, Zobrist.

If you had to chose, which 1?

2nd one. I don't know how the ESPN league works that's why I'm one the fence. How many players at each position do you start a day? I doubt youhave all those 1B's and they are on the bench

I could also do 1 thing. Trade Verlander for Morneau and then trade Adrian (Since I'll have Pujols, Howard, Morneau, Branyan, Adrian) and Damon forLongoria and Granderson.

That doesn't sound bad. This one or the 2nd trade you had up there in your last post.

Also JoRDaN201, think about picking up Randy Wells. Blackburn and Wells need to be picked up, not on the FA list.

Voice of reason I was waiting for you to chime in

About to hit the post limit on my back-up SN FTL.

Help me out with the many offers I got, Paul. PLEASE!

 

[scuse7]

Shame Soto had to go on the DL he had been picking it up

Crawford, Bartlett, and Roberts

Considering your options on the FA list (Randy Wells and Nick Blackburn), I say you make that trade for Morneau. You can pick up both Wells andBlackburn to make up for the departure of Verlander.

Then you can flip it around and do what you said. Trade Adrian Gonzalez and Damon for Longoria and Granderson.

 

[paul is on tilt]

Who would you trade? Jorge Posada or Matt Weiters?

I'm trying to capitalize on Soto being on the DL for about 3 weeks. I'm still trying to get Zobrist on my damn team

. Maybe the GM is a little moredesperate now to make a deal.

Weiters probably has more trade value.

Posada is old, he plays 3 games, rests 1. Also, he doesn't DH since Matsui is the permanent DH.

I would trade Weiters, since he's still a rookie and he's on a team that doesn't give him many RBI chances.

I just picked up Randy Wells, but I don't have the space to pick up Blackburn. And dropping a player will be hard for me.

How's your team look like again? How many teams are in your league? I want to see who I might drop if I was in your shoes.

10 Player.

And I've been thinking of dropping Podsednik, but then I'm short an OF.

 

[parada45]

Is Sanchez worth picking up or was that just a fluke?

Don't pick him up.

It was against the San Diego Little League All-Stars.

Looking at your team, your weaker players are at OF, specifically McCutchen and Podsednik. I don't know how much you need steals with Figginsand Ichiro on your squad. I'm guessing you can let either McCutchen or Podsednik go. And this is where your surplus of 1B comes in handy. That's whyyou're going to go for Granderson, to solidify your OF'ers. Oh, and you've got Beltran coming back.

Since you're in an ESPN league, what positions is Zobrist eligible for? In Yahoo, Zobrist is 2B/SS/OF. Can he help you in your OF, though he's probablygoing to fit in your SS/2B slot?

Your God Zobrist plays 2B/SS/OF on ESPN also.

You made a good point though.

Zobrist isn't my hero or anything... although I make it sound like he is.

 

[scuse7]

Miguel Cabrera hasss blown this year...I want to trade him, but I think its too late now.

Any ideas what I could do

 

[jordan201]

Another deal I was just offered:

I get:

Longoria

I give:

Ichiro

But then my OF would be weak

 

[651akathepaul]

I'm not happy with myself for forgetting to set my roster before today. Thankfully, I at least had Bergesen going in both NT leagues, but I'm losingout on a good performance by Correia. Can't win by doing that. Eh...Hopefully I make up for it.

 

[651akathepaul]

Didn't start Wells either.

 

[paul is on tilt]

Way to go Doug Davis!

The team I'm facing this week has Davis.

 

[paul is on tilt]

Freakin' Ludwick. 2 2-run hrs off Randy Wells.
