Should I trade V-Mart/Liriano for Mauer/Papelbon?

If it's a close call to you (and to most of the people), your preference to the players would take precedence.

I wouldnt do it either.  I like Hawpe i have him on my team.  Bonds is inconsistent and takes many days off. Hoffman also closes for San Diego who is not gonna win a lot of games.  He will have a low era though.

all 4 of those guys have good value i wouldnt just give them away by dropping them, try a two for one if you really need to get rid of some guys.

If you need hiting and get Jason Bay then yes.  If you need pitching and get Johan Santana then yes.  If its you need hitting and get Johan no

If you are getting Cantu, then do it now before he changes his mind. You can pick up any OF equivalent to Hunter off the FA list.

If you're getting Escobar, I would do it. I think he's better than Marquis, and Calero only has temporary value if Street is unable to close. That won't last long.

Buchholz isn't a bad replacement at all.  He's better than the guys suggested in the previous answers.  He should be in the Astros rotation for the forseeable future.  He was also a highly regardeed prospect in the Phillies system coming to Houston in the Billy Wagner trade.  Check if Justin Verlander or Daniel Cabrera is available in your league but if not I'd recommend Buchholz.  Don't pick up Bannister as he's on the DL too.

Geez... How many players are on the DL.  First off drop Garciaparra and Hermida. You have Pujols so what’s the use of Jacobs? Looks like you have some solid relievers and a few decent starters.  Keep KROD, Jennings, Seo, Verlander, Capuano, Sheets, Lidge, Sanchez.  Place Hendrickson as DL. Lowry is also still hurt.  I’m not familiar with “Balldelli…” You can try to use Wright, Johnson, Ortiz and anyone else I forgot as a potential trade.

hamels, billingsley need to go...there are better options.  reyes (cardinals) has been pitching well.  josh johnson (marlins) has been really good too.\n\ncatcher position typically doesn't produce much offense.  so if you're going to go cheap there, try damian ross, olivo or johjima  for a little more money.\n\nyou got tons of money geared towards hitting....soriano is very streaky and right now he is ice cold.  ibanez is a solid cheaper option for OF.  if you want some MIs, you can take a look at iguchi, sanchez (pirates), and ramirez( marlins) who's starting to hit again.  if you can save some money here but still have solid hitters, you can upgrade your rookie pitchers.

lol don't cut hamels....he's pitching TODAY.  your pitching is top notch....i don't see anywhere you can improve there.\n\nif you had to improve somewhere, it would be your hitting...howard, dunn, ortiz for power...suzuki, lopez for speed....looks solid to me.  if anything, i'd say you need another SB threat.  corey patterson is someone that might be available who has stolen a ton of bases.\n\nbut dam...the guy in 1st must have one hell of a team if you are in second...

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.

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.

you should have dropped G. Anderson months ago.\n\nPrince Fielder is still available in your league, that is nuts.  Jose Lopez is great at 2nd base because he gets the Runs and Rbi's.  Both Maddux and Pettite suck this year.

First off, not a chance. Gordon is the top reliever and Lopez is stealing bags and hitting homers. Tejada is good but Thompson is a nobody having a decent season for a club that is barely better than the Marlins right now.\nYou seem to have a lot of good pitchers but a horrid outfield. Look at trading for Gordon and an OF. Maybe offer Turnbow, any OF and a good starter such as Beckett, Sabathia or Glavine for Gordon and a power hitting OF (Hawpe will be good if you can get him from whoever has him in your league).

ok these guys are a little off.  Helton finally has people hitting behind him.  Howard has struggled a little.  This is his first full year, he will struggle at times.  He IS a stud, but helton is a super stud.  Helton will give you average, power, rbis and TONS of runs, remember he is like pujols minus 10 hrs.  He will hit .330 with 30 hrs and 45 doubles, with high on base.  TONS of Runs scored.  Do the trade unless it is a keeper league.  Helton is the man and he has some young studs batting behind him.  Howards bats 5th with noone behind him.  Helton is a much safer pick

Let me get it straight, u gave:\nAlex Rodriguez, Paul Konerko, Marcus Giles, and Jorge Posada.\nU got:\nAlbert Pujols, Chone Figgins, and Brad Lidge.\nFirst of all, u should of given away Ramon Hernandez while he's hot and kept Posada. Then Pujols is worth A-Rod.Konerko, Giles, and Posada r a little bit better than Figgins and Lidge but considering u desperatly needed a closer, the trade for u was Good, nit very good, not great but good. at least not as terrible as everyone else said.

if you can get pujos or arod that'd be great but I doubt someone will trade one of them for what you are offering. What you want to get all depends on what you need. Do you have homerun hitters, sb threats, an RBI guy? What kind of stats does your league keep?
