About your Hemingway Question: it was closed to answers but I thought I should let you know. He wrote it in English so nothing could have got lost in the translation. So that other Answerer was incorrect. I'm sure Hemingway had a reason. Sometimes people write in the style that people speak even if it is incorrect grammar.

There are such things as untouchables in fantasy baseball... A few years ago, it was Bonds... But right now, I'd say the two untouchables are A-Rod and Pujols... There is just no way you can justify trading these guys... They are the foundation of your team... \n\nNow, trading A-Rod for Podsednik and Carpenter is not a good deal... Last year, A-Rod put up 124 R, 48 HR, and 130 RBIs... Now those are GREAT numbers for a 3B... At the same time, Podsednik put up 80 R, 0 HR, 25 RBIs but did have 59 SB to A-Rods 3... This all came from an OF spot... And Carpenter just put up a 21 and 5 W-L record with a 2.83 ERA and 213 K's... Now to analyze how they might do this year... A-Rod's line-up has only added a leadoff hitter, which New York lacked all last year... So, A-Rod is hitting in a better line-up this year than last... That only makes his chances of having as good of or better year than last year better... Podsednik will get you steals and that is about it... That is his only value... You could probably get him by trading a second-tier player but not an untouchable! Carpenter is a little trickier... He had an amazing year last year and is following that up with a pretty good year so far...BUT, Carpenter has only had one good year and one truly great year... and pitchers can tend to be fickle...although I would personally love to have him on my team, I could not justify trading A-Rod away for him... I look at it this way... A-Rod is worth two average players worth of production... Carpenter is worth maybe a pitcher and a halfs worth of production (although you'll probably miss out on the sparkling ERA)... \n\nAfter saying all that, I would not make this trade unless you really feel the need for SB's and your pitching is headed by Jon Leiber...

Getting Samsonov for Reasoner and Stastny was a steal.  I don't know what Mike O'Connell was smoking when he did this trade, and the Thornton trade.

You don't want Ponson. Even if he was offered to you for free, don't take the deal. So it's pretty much a Mora/Marquis for Swisher deal. And I wouldn't do that. Your potential trading partner is trying to sell high on Swisher. Swisher has 9 home runs already and he's batting over .300. Both are things that he likely won't keep up. He may be a player that you want, but he's not worth Mora and Marquis.

Dude!  I have him too!  DON'T Trade him unless you can get high.  Sexson has never been a contact hitter, but he will get the long ball.  I got him cheap since he's slumping.  But unless you can get someone ranked 50+, don't trade him!

yes..you need a bat.  Any time you can get Tejada reasonably, I'd go for it. I feel it's a waste to use an early pick on a C. Pick 'em up and drop 'em. My current Cs are McCann, Willingham, Estrada, Varitek. They get injured quite often. Right now Napoli and Martin are hot. \nFurcal is only hitting .240 ..Martinez, last I checked was around.200..for a cleanup hitter like Miguel Tejada is a sweet deal.\nNow go and get the SBs you need. Maybe figgins is available!

Sidney Ponson is a good candidate to be traded because of his low salary and right now he is very appealing to teams like Arizona, Toronto, Atlanta and Chicago. After that it is Adam Wainwright.

If you're desparate for someone at third, go for it, but chances are pretty good that there's someone else available. Wiggington has a little power. He hit 17 home runs in 2004 and 7 in 155 AB's last year. And he's entering the prime of his career. And it's Tampa Bay. They're not exactly overrun with talent. When Huff comes back they'll find a place to play Wiggington. So he'll probably get you some home runs and a few RBI since he's batting clean up. But he's not that talented of a ball player overall. His AVG will probably hurt you and he doesn't get on base enough to score runs, even if TB had anyone batting behind him to knock him in. He capable of 25 homers this year, but that probably doesn't make up for the rest of his drawbacks.

You're getting Vlad, Kearns, and Varitek who are good. I'm not too familiar with Ramirez and Moyer.  Vlad is better than Bay but Kearns isn't quite as good as Holliday. I would do it.  Also fantasy baseball is only a year long so who cares about the young kids get the old guys who produce good numbers

if u can get wandy do it. other then his last start he's been solid. drop lopez after you get varitek. drop crosby too.

think of it like this, is Carlos Lee worth trading for Roy Halladay? Is Carlos Lee worth trading for Kevin Millwood? Well you better have a good Outfield and need some pitching to accept this one

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.

so how 'bout cc tonight?  (i have him too.)\n\nbenitez is out, dude... fernando rodney (det) might get some save while todd jones is hurt... love cantu, if you win he'll be a bigger part of your success than beltre or konerko will... think you might need a bit more outfield speed if stolen bases is a category, someone like aaron rowand or luis matos available? womack and hunter may be enough to carry you... i'm high on ervin santana too, in 2007...beckett will be huge... drop matheny get johjima (sea) or willingham (fla) as a backup catcher... looks like a winner overall!

very good team but i would drop prior and pickup peavy, young, kasmir, or oswalt.\n edmonds shoulder is going to need surgery at the end of the year so his numbers will be down so i would try to get hawpe(of) or sullivan for colorado or willingham (of/c) for florida.\ndrop castillo for lopez(2nd/ss) for the reds\ndrop c. guillen for young(ss) of the rangers

Curtis Granderson OF (going to be a steal if you can get him late)\nRicco Baldelli OF\nIan Kinsler SS\nMike Lowell 3b,2b\nJeremy Hermida OF\nBrad Wilkerson 1b,OF\nPrince Fielder 1b\nMark Loretta 2b\nJosh Willingham C\nJoey Gathright OF\nRyan Zimmerman 3b\njust a few I could think of. some of them you probably could get on waiver wire, depending on your league size and type.

I think the Yanks are going to trade for a starting pitcher, maybe Jon Garland of the White Sox or maybe Dontrelle Willis of the Marlins. They have some young arms that they just received for Sheffield that they may use for trade bait.
