Who could I trade Johan Santana one on one for in fantasy baseball?

Think about this way - Johan Santana was about 6-10 overall draft ranking.  Since he is not pitching well so far, you probably can only look for someone around 20-30 overall ranking, like Ichiro or Peavy.  Your call for batter or pitcher.\n\nLook for teams with a lot of SPs.  Usually that means the manager like pitchers, so you might be able to get good deal in return.  Also look for teams with a lot of Twins players.

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.

I personally would take Team A over Team B.  \n\nDo the trade of Colon for Roberts/Izzy.  You will get SB's and good average PLUS saves for a pitcher having a bad year and of no fantasy value.  If that trade doesn't happen, then good luck with all that.  Hate to drop a Cy Young-er, but.....  \n\nDrop Alou, he is not playing right now and when he does play, he only plays every other day.  He's good when he is in, but you can surely find a player on the waivers/free agents list that will do you well every day rather than every other day.  My suggestions are Thames, Granderson, J. Encarnacion.  One of those 3 should be available in that order.........OR, you know what to hell with all of that, drop him and pick up another starter on the waiver wire.  The outfielders you have suit you just fine as is.    \n\nGood Luck.

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.

first of all c cordero is the closer for the nats, try and trade hallady and h lune for a good 2b like soriano, also trade shelton and atkins for a good 3b and put nomar at 1st once you trade chelton dont drop nomar

Not knowing your exact team makeup, ie number of  SP number of Closers or whether the league is Head to Head or rotissiere, I can't be certain.  However of those listed Saito is the best choice strictly on ability.  A good closer who should have the job for awhile makes him a worthwhile add.  If by some chance your league counts holds as well as saves, Zumaya would be the top choice.  If you need a SP more, I'm not particularly impressed with those you listed.  Shields might be OK, but is Scott Olsen of the Marlins available?  I imagine Josh Johnson also of Florida is gone, but I'd rank Olsen ahead of any of the guys you named, and fellow Marlin Ricky Nolasco might also be as good or better choice than Shields.  Another option is Cole Hamels.  He's been shaky last couple of starts, but I think he'll turn it around and be a very good fantasy SP.  In fact I'd add Olsen, Saito, and Hamels if all were available.  Do you have any bench hitters you can drop?  The bench isn't very important in most fantasy leagues.  I'm in first or contending in some leagues with no extra hitters.

People say get Albert Pujols or Johan Santana. I disagree. In a 14-team league, skill positions are going to go very fast. Go for the shallow positions early. That means your first pick should be A-Rod or Miguel Cabrera, not Pujols. You will have plenty of time to pick a first baseman. In the second round, consider Victor Martinez or Michael Young, if available. That would give you two players at harder to fill positions, which should help. Also, be mindful of when the closer run starts. You will need at least two closers to compete. Some teams will get one-- or none. Those teams aren't going to do well in saves. With that in mind, you might consider Brad Lidge or Mariano Rivera in the 2nd or 3rd rounds, just so you can get SOMEBODY who is good. Just make sure you don't waste any of your picks, because once you pick in the 3rd round you won't get another pick until 24 more guys have gone off the board. Good luck!

Weaver will get called up soon, I think.  But Uggla has a bad hamstring is isn't playing much now. Soriano is kinda cold right now but he is worth a lot.  I would trade Berkman before I would trade Soriano.  Soriano will probably be on the Mets or Yankees pretty soon. His numbers will get even better, and his value.  Houston is struggling right now.  Check on Uggla before buying. Check out a pitcher like Miner of Detroit. He's a rookie that you could get cheap. He is putting up great numbers too.  Good Luck!

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.

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!

I'd make A-Rod your 3rd baseman and D. Wright your Util. Trade Chavez for a player u need. That's wat i did. I had J. Thome, D. Ortiz, and C. Delgado. So i traded delgado for wagner, willis, and francouer.

Look on the waiver wire for hidden gems and trade Chris Shelton for a consistent fanstasy producer while Shelton has such a high value. Don't worry yet, their are still many more weeks. If your league plays SP's, RP's, then just P's for the P's use relief pitchers who appear in more games than starters

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.

Ok I'm going to act as if none of these guys are hurt.  The best lineup you can get is with Colston, C. Johnson, Galloway, and Shockey, especially with Amani Toomer being out for the rest of the year Shockey will get a lot more looks his way.  Terry Glenn hasn't done anything since TO has been back.  Santana had 1 breakout game but every other game has been horrible due to Brunell not being able to get him the ball.  For a WR to do good he has to have a good quarterback passing the ball to him and Santana has been suffering this year because of that.\n\nAs far as getting a trade, I doubt you can get anything decent but you might try trading Fred Taylor while his stock is still high for someone like a Ahman Green or similar.  Freddy is a great back but his carries are getting less and less each game with the emergence of Jones-Drew.  The coaching staff wants to preserve Fred's health to last the rest of the year and with Jones-Drew getting all the goal line carries Fred might only get like 2-3 TDs max the rest of the season.

I love Randy johnson, but you can't ignore Johan Santana. Dude is money with his changeup.  Here is a guy who can win on a $hitty team that can't hit!  Johan has not only been the best lefthanded pitcher, he has been the best pitcher the past 2-3 years.  \nFransico Liriano is an up and comer too, watch out for him.\nUnit is great, but he is clearly way past his prime.  one of the best pitchers of all time though, no question about that.

Ervin Santana does have the stuffs, and I don't think he was bad last year - after all star break, he had a 3.97 ERA, 1.25 WHIP with 9-4 record.  Four wins in September.\n\nHe is a sleeper, but the cons are \n(1) He is the 5th starter \n(2) He doesn't strike out much\n(3) Angels might not be able to give him enough run support this year.\n\nAnd it's up to you now.
