I give: Mauer, Verlander, Cabrera
I get: Benjie Molina, Chipper Jones,Jeff Franceour, Gil Meche, Oliver Perez

I don't know what to take of this. I lose a top 5 3B, top 3 C, and a #1 starter. I get something in return. Theres no way to make this trade right?

My other starters are Carmona, Zambrano, Buerhle, Harang, and Willis. My OF is Abreau, Bonds, Swisher, Cuddyer, and Delmon Young.

Sorry for wasting your guys time. I just thought I was missing something when I looked at the trade. It looked shady but I was making sure that I wasn't mistaken. Thanks a lot.

basically he is offering you five guys that aren't as good as your three, and hoping you look at it and say, 'durrr five is more than three and LOOK CHIPPER JONES'

The [censored] thing is, is that it actually worked to the point that I considered it. Maybe I have been up for far to long and almost made a critical mistake in a fantasy league. That or I'm just not very smart. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

K maybe that veto worked out for me.

Sheets went down (probably for the season) so I cut him for Abreu.

I still have:
Bonderman
Haren
Escobar
Buehrle
Guthrie
Lackey

and Schilling on the DL.

Is trading Haren for Bonds still smart? If I lose one more pitcher I might be in trouble. Abreu seems to have turned it around.

I wouldn't give up Haren for Bonds. You can get a better hitter in return.

RedWave · #7 07-18-2007, 05:57 PM

12 team rotisserie, offered Alf. Soriano, Hanley Ramirez, and Dan Haren for Jose Reyes and Sizemore. I lead in basically all hitting categories, big lead in steals, but I am last in ERA and WHIP, I should accept this trade right?

slothinator · #8 07-18-2007, 06:02 PM

Take this trade and run. It's a great deal for you.

guys,

mentioned this a few days ago, but i am leaning towards benching maddux tonight. yes? he is 0-3 in his last 3 and has looked terrible, getting knocked around a lot. he is at home, but i foresee more suck tonight. thoughts?

slothinator · #10 07-18-2007, 07:12 PM

I wouldn't blame you for benching Maddux; he's given up 15 ER in his last 15.3 innings. Yes, he's at home and the Met's offense hasn't been what it was supposed to be this year, but Maddux is beginning to slip (he is 41 years old). Another scary stat is that Maddux only had 11 K's in 31 innings in June. That is some serious slippage going on.
