Hell yeah dude!!!! I noe u're thinkin that givin up Hafner and Damon is a little too much, but u get ALBERT PUJOLS!!! AND B. HALL!!!!!! DUDE, U R SOOOOO LUCKY!!! U EVEN ASKING????U'LL PUT N. SWISSER(OAK-1B,OF) IN THE OF AND PUT PUJOLS AT 1B AND PUT P. FIELDER AS THE UTIL CUZ HE TEARIN IT UP RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!\nim suprised he gave u a. pujols AND b. hall.\nbtw, dont listen to jondogg cuz he a big fatass lier, no1 would offer hafner, crede(the best 3rd baseman in the AL), and R. Sexson just for A. Otsuka.and even if some1 did, he's even stupider not 2 exept that trade. now tell me, woudl u listen to a stupid person???\nI greatly appreciate for picking me best answer several times. Don't drop B. Hall unless u have a good closer or OF on the market. Put B. Hall, K. Youkilis, and E. Santana on the trading block. Probably no1 will bite but, it wont hurt u.Maybe put W. Rodriguez on the block 2. And put C. Schilling in there immediatly!!! and also put E. Santana on there for V. Padilla and M. Mussina in there for D. Cabrera. Actually drop him.\nPick up C. Granderson(Det-OF) if he isn't taken already.\nHere are guys u want to drop:\nD. Cabrera(Bal-SP)\nV. Padilla(Tex-SP)\nD. Bush(Mil-SP)\nW. Rodriguez(Hou-SP)\nGuys that you can trade:\nT. Hunter(Min-OF)\nA. Kearns(Cin-OF)\nE. Santana(LAA-SP)\nK. Youkilis(Bos-1B,3B)\n\nYour needs:\nAtleast 1 more closer, a productive OF\nPossible trades:\nT. Hunter and E. Santana for J. Dye(CWS-OF)\nA. Kearns and K. Youkilis for A. Otsuka(Tex-RP)\nLook out for closers on the waivers. I had closer problems on both of my fantasy baseball teams.\nOn 1 team I only had B. Wagner and then I picked up A. Otsuka(Tex-RP) and M. Gonzalez(Pit-RP).On my other team I only had D. Turnbow(Mil-RP), then someone dropped B. Wickman(Cle-RP). And after that I picked up J. Borowski(Flo-RP). Good luck pal. \n\nps i think your team will do fine, a team can't be absolutely 100% perfect.Atleast u have B. Wagner.

Drop Matsui cuz he's not coming bak till early September. I'd bench T. Wakefield and F. Hernandez and put in Jeremy Bonderman maybe trade F. Hernandez and T. Wakefield for T. Glavine. Your closers r terrible cuz K. Foulke isnt the closer anymore and F. Cordero isn't the closer for the Rangers either. Guardado will be closing for the Mariners soon. But still since Guardado isnt closing yet, I'd go get a closer like J. Isringhausen for F. Cordero and K. Foulke.Actually include Matsui in the Isringhausen trade too. But then go for B. Fuentes, the Rockies closer. He's good and the Rockies r winning a lot of games this year.\nI'd also try to improve your middle infielders, L. Castillo and J. Peralta cuz Castillo is coolin down a lot and Peralta is in a slumpish mood right now. Also try to get another back-up for your OFs cuz Nixon isn't enough.\n7.5 out of 10.

Catcher- Solid (but get a backup just in case he gets injured)\nFirst Base- Top 3 at his position, DO NOT LET GO OFF\nSecond Base- Solid, keep him too\nShortstop- Potential AL MVP\nThird Base-Good for 20-25hr,90rbi (only because he will get most of this at Coors)\nOutfield-Bonds is a huge hit or miss, Holliday is kinda in line with that "Coors Effect" and Rowand is a good player, but you can find better\nUtility- 2 slugging 1B in Fielder and Thome (keep them)\nBench-Vidro is a top 10 2b (keep him too)\nStarting Pitching-WISH I HAD YOUR PITCHERS!!! (DO NOT TRADE)\nPitchers-Loaiza is OK. Capuano is a question mark (better hope he repeats last year). Calero is a nice middle reliever. Clemens (you should see his situation) should keep if he decides to come back. Jones is on the DL right now, so you should find another closer to replace him. Wagner is one of the best at what he does, so he should stay. Last but not least, Garland is a great pitcher

Well the trade deadline is this Friday Nov 17th, for Yahoo anyways.. But Hell No man don't trade Brees ...he is awesome this year man passing more the 250 and 2 td's agame for the last 3 games. Try getting rid of McNair and Lewis for Delhomme and Chambers man...Or do this.. give him Mc Nair, Lewis ,Horn  and Bryant  for.. Delhomme, Chambers and Taylor..then go to the wavier wire man and pick up another wr like Evans or someone like that.

I say take the first trade. Ensberg is a very good player capable of putting up at least 30 HR and 100 RBI. Remember that Ensberg is usually a lot better in the second half of the season so keep that in mind.\n\nThis way even if Thome and Wright are doing great, you have a very good player to use as UTIL.\n\nFor the second trade, i think you are giving up too much for a free-swinger like francoeur. You never know what to expect from francoeur, which is a bad thing.

Players to drop: Ausmus, Rodriguez (look for a 5era when all is said and done, last night for example), Tomko, why do people love this guy he is pathetic. You have hardly any speed, and one closer. That's 20% of all stats you are throwing out, so you start each week unless someone goes off 0-2. I like most of your pitchers, I would pick up at least 2 more SP, you have way too many roster spots for offense. 5 guys on bench, I could see 2 maybe 3, but I would much rather have 3 more starter/closers. I hope you are not playing Phillips over Kent right now.You need speed plug Roberts in for Dye, Dye rests as much as Bonds now. Trade too much good talent wasting away on bench, trade Tracy, Hawpe for some pitching, they are not doing you any good on the pine.

Do you ever look at your team. Clemens hasn't pitched yet this season and will probebly retire so bench him until he makes a decision and put another pitcher in. Wagner is good but look for better relief. Starting is better. Get a new infielders except Thome. Look on waivers you wont believe what you'll find if you look hard enough. Always look to upgrade, never be satisfied. Don't panic, you really shouldn't even look at your standings or make any major moves until late May

Absolutely 10/10.\n\nFantastic team!  The only things I'm worried about is speed, especially if you're in a Ros. league.  But it's also important in H2H.  I see your team hitting about .270-.290, maybe try trading Burrell for some speed.  That way you can hit near .300 while helping speed.\n\nMaybe someone would throw Ichiro for Burrell?\nI would suggest trading Burrell for Podsednik, fair trade depending on what the opposing manager needs.\n\nTejada for Reyes and (x)?  X being another player to even out the trade.\n\nUtley and (x) for Soriano?\n\nCorey Patterson as well as Juan Pierre would be excellent if you can get him for cheap.\n\nJust some ideas to help out the speed of your team, which translates to runs and SB's.

The counter offer, Ortiz for Halladay is good. However, try Thome for Pedro. If either one of those trades don't work, then DO NOT accept the current trade: Ortiz and Thome for Halladay and Pedro.\nThen again, why am I saying that. I have both Halladay and Santana on my team.

No Deal you already have a well balanced team from what it looks like here.  Plus let me very honest with you, the season is way early and only if you need serious help should you be considering a trade. Let the players you have go for about 2 maybe 3 weeks then see where you are in each of your offensive and defensive categories. Then go from there. Your team is well balanced with offense and defense, and if it was a head to head league you're in then I imagine you're doing prettu good thus far, if it's a roto league the only place i see you struggling is in FG% and Steals. Stick with your team for a few weeks then come back to a trade tha better suits you for the long haul if possible

I just saw your team and you don't need Cano who is the same as Castillo and Garland isn't a great pitcher. U have good pitchers, but not great pitchers, so trade Helton for Tejada cause Guillen sucks. and trade Hafner for Peavy or Santana or another great pitcher.
560932
Yes. If you can get Thome, for Giambi, I would have too say that you would be ripping the other guy off, Thome is back too his old self, and he will be putting up monster numbers all year long, also yes I would trade Kent for weeks, Kents best days are behind him, and weeks has looked good this year, and yes damon and finley, for Manny would be a great trade for you, if you can get Manny, for them I would say do the trade.

Well, I could help you if I knew what your team consisted of and what positions you needed to upgrade.  SOOO, since that is not possible, I'll throw some names out there from all positions.\n\nC--none, all the good catchers are probably rounded up, unless you can find Josh Willingham on the waiver wire.  He also is available for use in the outfield.  Been in a slump lately, but the last few days he has broken out of it.\n\n1B--Ben Broussard.  When he is at home against righties, he pretty much gets a hit every time (well over .400 with 9 homers).  The only problem with him is he sits the bench when a leftie starts, so you would have to pay close attention to match-up's with him.  Also, Prince Fielder? \n\n2B--Dan Uggla, Brian Roberts, Jose Castillo, in that order.  Surely one of those 3 are available.  Also, check for Jeff Kent.  He has been on the DL and is coming off on Tuesday.  He MAY have been dropped when he got hurt and should return to his normal form.  \n\n3B--Ryan Zimmerman or Freddy Sanchez.  Zimmerman is young and looks to be figuring out MLB pitching as the year goes on.  Sanchez leads the NL in batting, very quietly.  \n\nSS--David Eckstein and Freddy Sanchez.  Sanchez is available to play at SS, as well as 2B and 3B, so he is very versatile.  Eckstein gets you hits every night, but has no power.  SS is a very hard position to find players on the waiver wire.\n\nOF--Any outfielder who plays for the Texas Rangers.  As the summer heat in Dallas warms up, the more balls that will be flying into the stands and any of their outfielders can take care of that.  Mench, Wilkerson, Matthews Jr. most notably.  Jacque Jones is starting to figure out NL pitching and should be available.  Let's see....possible consider Randy Winn or Curtis Granderson as well.  \n\nYou mentioned nothing about pitching, so I'll stop there.  Hope this helps a bit.

DON'T. If anything, do a 1 for 1 deal with Beltre for Chavez. If you do this deal, you are going to get screwed. You are giving up a 30hr,90rbi,.300 avg OF (in Edmonds if healthy), a potential 20hr,90 rbi,.290 avg 3B in Atkins, and then you have Beltre who could go nuts at SAFECO. I mean, all you are going to get in this deal is Chavez, because Cabrera (who could only give you 25-30 stolen bases) could really be just a backup to Tejada.

The only way to find out is to make offers and make posts to your league message board. Let everyone know that you are looking to deal starting pitching for closers. Just keep in mind that a lot of people won't deal any closer for any price, because they tend to horde saves. I know I wouldn't trade any of my closers for Ervin Santana unless I was totally desperate for starting pitching. Beckett, on the other hand, might actually get you something. He's good enough to get a decent price.

OFFENSE: think you are weak at 2B. Really need a replacement for loretta as he is more defensive than offensive. not much power and wont drive in many runs. Also, i dont think its a good sign when you have somebody like anderson as your util. Doesnt say much for your bench.\n\nPITCHING: Decent except have a problem with ervin santana as he is a very wild one. John Thomson is just part of the miserable atlanta rotation and weathers walks a lot for a closer. Presuming you only have him because he is a closer.\n\nADVICE: probably try and swing glavine for a closer. in terms of a replacement for loretta, you might have to depend on the waiver wire as you need every other piece of your team.\n\n7/10
