karak,

are you not concerned that bonds is going to play, like, once every three days after he hits 756?

[/ QUOTE ]

a little

i just see him playing at least 2/3

and with his near .500 OBP i guess it is kinda worth it?

im not really sure what to think of him right now

[NT!]

what stats does your league use again?

even if you have someone to play on his off days, it just seems like you're giving up a lot for someone who in a best-case scenario is a part-time player nearing retirement in a bad lineup.

im trying to move haren straight up for bonds then

I think you can do better.

I just traded Peavy for Big Papi (7x5), and Harens #'s are pretty close to Peavy. Neither of their names are at the Johan level, so I would imagine their trade levels, especially in an average fantasy league, are pretty close.

depending on the stats you use, Bonds really isn't great. decent HR's, few RBI's, great OBP + SLG.

kkcountry,

In your scoring system, I'd be inclined to take Olivo first, then Pierznyski , then Laird. Barret is splitting time 50/50 with Bard, Napoli is hurt and splits 60/40 with Molina. Salty is a backup, and Ross disappears for 2-3 weeks at a time.

Oh i forgot I've also got LoDuca as my Catcher right now? Pick up Olivo over him?

If LoDuca is your starter, then I don't see changing to any of these guys making a big difference. What does that guy in your league want for Posada?

[Kneel B4 Zod]

fyi, Adam Jones has been called up. looks to be a pretty good OF prospect, I took a flier on him

[NT!]

ok some guy near last place is shopping poo holes

he wants a SP and another player

i don't need him that bad, but i have some pieces to deal if i can get a good one.

my SP: maine, randy j, marshall, maddux, d lowe, vasquez

i could deal a RP: accardo, betancourt, bell, okajima, villanueva (holds count, so those last 4 have all been v v good)

or i could move one of my bats: manny, mauer, luis gonzalez, mike cameron, zimmerman, etc. i also have victor martinez but i'd rather not trade him.

what's your initial offer? how high do you go?

[Kneel B4 Zod]

you would need to deal a few of your guys for Albert, start with a few you dont need.

so, is Jack Cust for real? would anyone give up Chris B Young for him?

Cust will not be worth having (at least in a mixed league) when Piazza gets back. Piazza will be the primary DH, with Stewart / Kotsay / Swisher in the OF and Johnson at 1B. As much as Cust K's, inconsistent playing time will make it really hard for him to get on any kind of a roll. Also, Cust's current BABIP is around .350; it will come down (his K:BB ratio has been declining rapidly as well). I'd rather have Chris B. Young than Cust.

Just got offered a trade which I find kindof humorous. A team named "big papi and friends" just offered me big papi for sheffield. I think I will politely decline.
