is this a good trade josh beckett for chris ray?

Chris Ray is unproven. Closers change like the weather in New England. Beckett has a lot of upside and can be a great strikeout pitcher on a winning team. No way I trade him for Ray.

C is OK, could do better .\n1B Solid \n2b Solid\n3b is OK but look for a Free agent like E. Encarnación \n(Cin - 3B) or R. Zimmerman (Was - 3B)\nSS use Tejada to trade for OF help ONLY if you could pick up the following FA's H. Ramírez (Fla - SS) or J. Hardy (Mil - SS) or O. Cabrera (LAA - SS) \nOF the only one that is a keeper is J Dye, T hunter is at best a UTL.Drop Edmonds.\n\nSP are solid with Beckett and Martinez, glavine is OK but not great.Get rid off of Sosa and Cotts. Put Sabathia in the DL. Keep for now Weathers and Turnbow.\n\nBench keep Wilkerson drop liberthal and womack.\n\nLook for the following closers in Free agent pool:\nFLA- RP M Herges, J. Papelbon (Bos - SP,RP), T. Worrell (SF - RP), F. Rodney (Det - RP),D. Báez (LAD - RP)he's the new closer as Gagne is out for a while.\n\nLook for the following player to help your OVERALL team: \nC. Shelton (Det - 1B),J. Willingham (Fla - C), J. Barfield \n(SD - 2B), E. Loaiza (Oak - SP),J. Suppan (StL - SP),K. Greene (SD - SS), P. Wilson (Hou - OF),J. Burnitz (Pit - OF),R. Ibañez (Sea - OF).\n\nHere's what other owner got for TEJADA on an ONE-4-ONE deal:\nM. Tejada (Bal - SS) for Mi. Cabrera (Fla - 3B,OF) \nM. Tejada (Bal - SS) for G. Sheffield (NYY - OF) \nM. Tejada (Bal - SS) for J. Pierre (ChC - OF) \nM. Tejada (Bal - SS) for A. Ramírez (ChC - 3B)\n\nif not try to package Tejada and Beltre or Tejada, Beltre, and Glavine.\n Hope this helps.

do the trade just to get Colston.  Henr is a nice extra too, but I would do it to get Colston wo is becomming the go to guy with Brees, plus he is ranked 8th overall

Normally the goal of the trade is to get the best player, and in this case arod is the best player in the deal.  However, you are giving up an underrated pitcher in patterson who could be a top 20 pitcher this year and who will be better than santana.  U also give up a third round preseason pick in ramirez and damon, who went around the sixth round.  Disregard weathers who is no better than a soriano who u could get on waivers, and I think u r giving up too much.  Drop patterson  from the deal and I think its fair.

YES YES\n\nChestor Taylor is not going to perform as well as he has been because Richardson is hurt... Richardson is his full back and the main reason why he has been able to run as well as he has this year...\n\nJake is only putting up avg numbers \n\nYou get one of the better RB in Tiki Barber ... so what if he had a bad game against Jacksonville... almost all RB do ... they are a good Def.. \n\nThis trade will make your RB much much stronger... \n\nYou should do really well in the playoffs if you do this trade...\n\nGood Luck

So it would basically be Reyes & Wells for Soriano & Dye? Personally I'd say no to that, Soriano gives you the power, speed and average #'s that fantasy leagues eat up, plus he's still eligible at 2B (presumably). If you're looking for a replacement for Dye, play it week to week and pick up a streaking player who may be facing some weaker competition then drop him when the hot streak wears off.

You should get rid of Reggie Williams.  There is QB shuffling going on in Jacksonville and Williams is inconsistent at best.  Terry Glenn was Bledsoe's favorite target and his numbers may suffer with Romo in, but he should still be better than Williams.  Another option to consider would be an attempt to trade Glenn while his value is still relatively high.

great trade for you...your getting 3 quality guys for one quality guy.  Your messing up his team threfore you have a better chance of winning your league.  He has to find another third basemen and an OF.  Third base is a hard postition to get a good player especially of Blalock's caliber.

No, gates isn't doing that well and they have a tough end of the year.  If you're in first now just stick with your team.  Plus colston plays WR and TE.  Shockey is catchin fire and Maroney splits carries

Let me break each player down for you.  Ray Allen: will give you 25 ppg and a few steals.  Lewis:  smokin hot so far this season one of the top 3 players in fantasy basketball right now.  Melo: averaging 30 a game (nuff said).......................Billups: 20 pts and LOTS of assists.  Wade:  not producing as much so far because J williams is injured but should up his #'s.  Barbosa:  He has been playing good lately but raja bell is back and barbosa numbers should start to decrease soon.  Odom:  He has been good lately but if the Lakers start losing Kobe is gonna take the ball himself more and that will decrease odoms numebers.    SO i would NOT make the trade unless you are like last in your league and need some major improvements, otherwise why risk it?

Considering trading away Wayne is a decent idea since you have Harrison, but to do it for Smith is unwise.  Wayne's value as a fantasy receiver is much greater than Smith's.  Wayne actually had more receptions than Harrison last year, although Manning still looks Harrison's way once the end zome gets closer.  And Smith is not the WR1 on his team anymore.  Javon Walker looks to be at near full-strength by the start of the season and will be Plummer's main target.\n\nMy advice would be to look for someone that would be willing to trade for Wayne, but at a much higher value.  Some guys to consider as equals in a deal would be Hines Ward, Darrell Jackson, Chris Chambers, or to drop down a small bit I like Donald Driver this year as well.  \n\nEither way, even if you are "stuck" with two receivers from the same team, they are both top 10 receivers and will both consistently outscore Rod Smith.  Look for the trade in order to diversify your lineup, but look for a better one.  Good luck!

It's doable, depends on your preference.  HOWEVER, you might have to drop one player because of the roster size.  In that case, it makes the trade unacceptable.  \n\nWhy?  There is no chance Chris Shelton could hit .400 and 100 HR (as this pace).  If he hits .310 and 30 HR this year, that means from now on he will only have .285 AVG and 20 HR.  That's not good fantasy stats.  If you do this trade, you end up get a worse pitcher and a so-so hitter, but you still have to drop someone.  Not a good deal.

Dont go for guys like Brandon Phillips or earlier in the year Jason Smith because they r not guys who will put up great numbers for long.I'd put Clemens on the bench.that's what i did because i have him. u have 2 many guys on the bench!!!!Chris Burke should not be the Util player. Put someone like Alou or atleast Rios at Util. Espiacially take advantage of Rios being hot right now!!!!! DO NOT BENCH HIM!!!!!!!\nC Javy Lopez-I know, u want 2 trade him because he's not producing right now, but I have him for a reason, he'll start hitting.(He better!)\n1B-Paul Konerko-Good. Exept for David Ortiz, Jim Thome, and Albert Pujols, he the best.\n2B-Brandon Phillips-Get a Jose Vidro or Josh Barfield, even those guys r goin 2 b better.\nSS-Orlando Cabrera-Your choice, I'd trade him in a package deal with someone like Jason Marquis $ Joe Crede and get a guy like Kevin Mench.\n3B-Joe Crede-Trade\nKent and Overbay keep\nJermaine Dye and Chad Tracy might want 2 hit the bench. Alu and Rios workin.\nUtil-Burke-Drop\nYour Bench is VERY good.(for a bench)\nOnce Lee and Griffey start playin, ull be hard 2 beat.\nEspiacially with that good pitching!

It was a good trade I think anytime you get a good RB for a good WR it's a good trade plus Jones gets more points than Portis and Wayne so Kevin how is this a bad trade I'm just wondering?

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.
