What do you think of this trade proposal?

I'm going to go against that grain here and say that unless you need steals - don't do it. Let’s start off with Beckett- he is now 3-1 with a 4.50 ERA, 1.25 WHIP after the Tribe kicked the snot out of him the other night. Everybody knows that Beckett, the 2003 World Series MVP, has talent. The question, as always, is his durability. He'll be just 26 in May and already has 100 starts in the bigs. BUT he's never thrown more than 200 innings or made 30 starts in a season. What happens when his first blister pops up -- on the front pages -- in Boston? How will he handle the heat? How will he get his road ERA (4.25 since 2004) down? How will he handle a full season with the DH? Not this well, that's for sure.\n\nSo...now you're talking Jones for Damon. Andruw is the back bone of the Braves lineup and he has had an awesome April (.284 8HR 23RBI's 17 runs). Project that out and he's looking at a 45+HR and a 100+RBI season. Damon on the other had has a slower start (.275 1HR 10RBI 16 runs). He's gonna have to find a way to settle down in NYC (which he may do just fine) but how far back in the standings will you be when he does?\n\nStick with Jones, go out and look at Ryan Freel (Cincinnati) for steals and grab whatever pitcher is hot on your waiver wire.

Not a horrible trade. If I'm going to protest a trade, there has to be clear evidence of collusion or someone fleecing an inexperienced player. I don't see either of those things here. Yes, Young is probably one of the best shortstops in the game right now, but Rios's stats are pretty solid as well. I doubt he'll keep them up, but you never know. Young will hit more homers as well, if that's what you are worried about. It's not necessarily a deal I would make, but it's not so uneven as to cause a big red flag. You will never get a perfectly even trade.

This trade definitely sucked for the twolves. Davis for Szczerbiak is a good trade, as they're both swingmen with different strengths. Boston needed a big guy that can spot shoot, and Minnesota needed a guard. \n\nThe problem with the trade is with the secondary players. The Twolves gave up Michael Olowokandi and a first round pick for the crappy Celtics players and 2 conditional late second round picks. Getting rid of  Olowokandi and Sczcerbiak leaves KG as the only big man on the Twolves.\n\nSince neither team will make the playoffs this year, Boston will definitely get a lottery pick from Minnesota, and they'll get to keep their own. Minnesota will get at the most two late second round picks. Or as I like to call them "the since we have to pick someone, we'll pick you" draft picks.\n\nI never thought I'd say this, but Kevin McHale stinks.

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

yes... he is there only player, he is also getting older an age but still has tons of value. they should trade him for someone young and up in comming along w/ a draft pick

I am very satisfied with the new proposal.It lets most of them stay.How would you transport 11 million ppl to their original country?And thats not even the tip of it what if they own homes or have children that were born here ,that makes them USA CITIZENS.I think it's great

I'm from Philly. And here is what I think... I am kinda startled at this trade, until I seen that u got a lot of things done in this deal...\n\nA. Bye Bye Raef LaFrentz u piece of trash, and take your overpaid *** to Portland (NYKnicks of the West)\nB. Theo Ratliff, a good defensive presence in the middle (provided he stays healthy)\nC. Potential. TELFAIR could pan out to be a 15 ppg, 8 APG (key stat here), 5 rpg, 3 spg Point Guard (provided he plays consistent and stays healthy too!!!)\n\nSo technically speaking, this was a good deal..........Maybe...............\n\nP.S.: U got Rajon Rondo and Leon Powe in the draft, so I really would not complain there.

I think that would be a good deal. It has an absolute zero chance of happening sure but it would be a good deal. Dwyane Wade is ALMOST as good as LeBron, and Chris Bosh is a VERY underrated player. Chris Bosh and Z could be the next twin towers, Larry Hughs could switch to point, and Dwyane could be the star...Nice trade.

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.

I think it's too much.  Chad Tracy actually has similar stats as Carlos Lee this two years, even with higher AVG and OPS.  Carlos Lee does have more HR and RBI though.  But Lee is too hot now (on the pace of 70 HR and 140 RBI), you have to expect him to cool off.\n\nThe problem for this trade is Joe Nathan, he is too good to be traded.  He is one of the top 5 closers in the league, and best among your closers.  Since Chad Tracy has closing stats as Carlos Lee, it doesn't make sense to give out Nathan at the same trade.

i believe you should trade because with the coming back of matt hasselbeck look for deion branch to become even more of a factor in the passing game. With donovan mcnabb out brian westbrook will be getting the majority of the touches for the eagles which also makes sense. Trent Green is kind of iffy and i don't really like what he is doing so far but i believe that deion and westbrook will make up for it. Eli has been struggling lately, however plax is dominant with or without eli. Henry has not been too successful this season which puts the iceing on the cake to make the trade.

I don't think there is any question you take this trade and run with it.  \nJones' numbers will go up for the rest of the season because Grossman has proven his weakness.\nPortis has been hurt more than he played.\n\nAnd Delhomme loves Steve Smith\n\nAddai is getting more touches, but Indy is a passing team.

Yeah go for it now before the guy changes his mind. you'll be getting a better deal in the long run. the Johnson are doing great and Fitzgerlad will soon be back on track. Jones is scoring and hopefully moss will too...Do it now before its too late man.

whoever is getting utley and carpenter is getting a much better deal, given that you are in a 5x5 league with 10+ players. 2B guys that can hit the longball is great, and carpenter is the nl-cy young winner on a winning team. sanata has had a tough start and is notoriously a second half guy but his value over carpenter isn't nearly close to the value of utley and carpenter. I would say this trade probably wouldn't happen. hope this helps

YES!  Do it!  Iguchi is streaky and unproven--a second tier 2B at best.  Capuano is pretty good, but not as good as the Cy young candidate Santana.  Berkman hit two Bombs today.  You know what you will get from Santana and Berkman --two top tier players.  Bonds is extremely high risk.  Visquel is good but not a great offensive player, and he hits in a pitching friendly BP.  You gotta take this trade!\n\nAll in all, you gave 4 for 2--you get to pick up two players, a 2B, and SS.  Take a chance on the waiver wire, maybe a guy like Jack Wilson, Jose Lopez, or Ian Kinsler is avail.

No. I am not going to do that. TEs are so inconsistent that you cannot trade a starting running back for a TE, unless their names are Gates or Gonzalez. I think what you should do is to see if you can counter them for something more, if you like your depth at RBs. Or like others said, free agents. Ben Watson should still be available. \n\nIf you accept you will lose too much, for a player who cannot get you consistent points anyway.

The first trade, Yes. I have Dwight Howard on my fantasy team and I coudn't be happier with the way he is preforming latley. the last two games he has had 20+ points and 20+rebounds, which are great stats for a head to head type league. I know VC is doing great but Dwight Howard is doing better, depending on which type of league your in.\nThe second one, Hell No!!! You got to be lucky to have Carmelo, because Kenyon Martin just got a season ending injury, which means Carmelo is going to be putting up awsome numbers.
