In my baseball fantasy leauge I was offered L. Hernández (wash.) for F. Hernández (Sea). Do I take the trade?

You're giving up Felix? That is a bad, bad move in my opinion. Livan is a good innings-eater, and he'll get some strikeouts, but I still like Felix a lot better. He might be a top-15 pitcher this year if he can get some run support.

you didn't ask a question.  i looked at your fantasy roster that you posted.  one suggestion i have is this: trade beltre for a stud OF.  move cantu to 3b and play loretta at 2b ... he will have a great year for the bosox.

Great job on the trades, I think you'll be doing fine.  FOr an 8 team league, you should probably get someone oterh than Johjima since you have Willingham who is doing very well hitting in front of Cabrera.  Maybe try trading him to a team that needs a catcher.  Johjima isn't doing so hot right now anyways.\n\nI think your 3B trade was okay but I think Ensberg will ahve better numbers in the end.  The other 2 trades were excellent.  I don't like Kent's chances this year of rebounding but you got Reyes which is good.\n\nBy the way, how does Mike Lowell count for 2B in your league?  That's crazy.

If i were you, i would definitely pull the trade.\n\nColon: hasnt pitched much, and when he has, he has struggled. All the time he has spent on the DL really impacts his value.\n\nBonds: overhyped.\n\nIsringhausen: decent closer, not the best as he will blow a save here and there, but plays for the cards. Tons of opportunites there.\n\nMcCann and Crawford: both very good players for their position. Crawford's main attraction is his steals though, not much for power.

Well I'm also currently playing yahoo fantasy baseball and I'm loving it. But about your team, I'd give it a C- for a few reasons. The main reason is you've taken on some major headache players. What I mean by that is most of your team is made up of players that have been plagued with injuries their whole career and could easily all go down this year at least once. You also have a few problems with your pitching staff. Oswalt and Smoltz are solid and are wonderful players to have on your team. but wakefield bonderman and mussina are really no good. Mussina is alright but should not be a #3 starter. Cordero is a great reliever that will get alot of saves, but cordero wont get you many points if your other relievers are farnsworth and wakefield. I suggest you either trade for another reliver or get one that is probably in the free agent market, like Jonathon Papelbon. If Armando Benitex goes down again pick up Tim Worrel. And now to your hitters. AJ Pierzinski in my opinion is waaaaay over rated. He's is no a good hitter who will lower your average alot. Carlos Delgado is a great first baseman, but with Konerko as a backup, I suggest you trade Delgado for a good outfielder which you should be able to get seeing as Delgado is just slightly over rated. Roberts is a great player who should not be traded unless you are offered a spectacular deal, which is likely not to happen because roberts is very under rated. Jones is a great third baseman that you shouldn't have traded, espcially because you can't you Thome because you already have two good first baseman, You should have kept Jones. But now that you have Thome, you should trade him while he's hot and his stock is up. Brad Wilkerson is an OK player that will produce OK numbers, but don't expect anything more out of him. Edmonds is good but his greatest asset, his fielding, doesn't even matter in fantasy baseball. Garret Anderson is OK and sure produce some okay numbers. I'd also say that you're bench is good, except for Preston wilson who is only good for homers which is the one thing you don't need. You should try to trade him for some speed. Try to get a player like Rickie Weeks for him. Hope I could halp, Michael.

Why would anyone do that?\n\nOswalt is slightly better then Peavy.\nA-Rod is much better than Jason Bay.\n\nIf you did that, don't worry - the trade would most likely be vetoed.

if you need help at pitching i would do it.  Guillen is a very good offensive player on a very good offensive team.  He's not jeter, but ponson is no penny and wickman.  You get a lot in return for jeter and ponson.  I'd do it, you pitching will be better and deeper and u will give up just a few runs and rbi's with guillen, average will stay the same, so will hr's.  Very good trade for you.  Take advantage of the yankee fans! hehe

Colon is on the DL right now but he has way more value then Bonds, I would even drop Bonds if the trade doesn't go through.

Jump on this trade ASAP. Corey Patterson is a dog; look at his OBP for his career and you'll see. Liriano is a good prospect, but pitching prosects usually need 3 years to develop. Hermida is the real deal and should be a contender for NL rookie of the year. Estes is a borderline fantasy player.

That wouldn't be a bad trade, it has both ups and downs. Teixeira's been settling down after a hot first month. Pierre hasn't really been there so you can get your average up defeintly by trading them away and getting Hafner and Roberts. The only thing is your going to find a pitcher that you can replace Zito with because hes been pitching very well this season. Perhaps a Madduz or Millwood. Peavy has also been lights out as of late.  I'd say go for it, make the trade, and then try to find some pitching. Your offense should defeintly benefit though.

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.

If D. Lee was healthy, the trade looks fine..   though I do like Abreu as the best player out of the 7.  If nothing else, you gained a couple of free spots with Lee on DL.  You can tough it out for 2 months.  Without knowing the rest of your team, it's not really appropriate for anyone to advise who you should pick up.

I'm going to assume this is NOT a keeper league, and your question is just to see if its ethical to make a trade when you are out of the playoff chance...right? If its not a keeper league, then I do question the reasoning for the trade. Especially if this is a good buddy of yours. He's getting an every week #1 RB in Barber for all of his bench players. The guys you're getting are OK, but the only one resembling a first rounder is injured, and possibly out for the rest of the year (McGahee). If you were to shop Tiki to all of the teams for a few days, then take what you feel is the best offer... I'd still question the reason for a trade unless your 0-10 team is trying to pick up a quality keeper.

John Papelbon. He is already closing for one of the most prestigious teams in the AL, and he is one of the biggest stars on the team, even in his first years. If he is injured, or can't keep it up, I would pick Felix Hernandez for the Seattle Mariners to rebound and be the King Felix of last season

Honestly, I feel that you have too much starting pitching. You will probably top the Wins catorgory in your league but your ERA  and WHIP will be high and your Saves and K will be low. RPs almost always do better in those catogories.  Consider trading one of your starters for a closer with a high K/IP and a low WHIP and ERA. A high K/IP guy that might be available on the FA market is J J Putz. \nAlso, maybe you could trade some of that SP for some speed like Brian Roberts or Pods. Willy Travaras and Dave Roberts are often availible as a base stealers via FA.\nAnyway, good luck and have fun!

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.

It's a good trade for you because Rich Harden is going to be the AL Cy Young winner this year.  He was just as good as Santana last year before he got hurt.  I'm high on Kearns, and I think I might trade Preston Wilson for Damon (who I really don't like) instead of Kearns if taking Damon is required  But I love Harden, do the deal.  You might be able to just do Santana for Harden, which would be better for you.  Whoever is offering this trade probably thinks you're getting the better of Kearns for Damon, and just included it to try to get Santana.\n\nTry Harden for Santana straight up.
