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.

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

Zumaya is the next closer for Detroit... period.  Rodney will not get that job back (unless injuries crop up).\n\nLowe is dern good.  He's in a pitcher's park & definitely seems accustomed to the NL hitters now.  \n\nVerdict:  Trade for Lowe!

Don't use Utley, the best 2B in MLB right now, and Tracy to get Edmonds because Utley is better than Edmonds and wat's the point of giving a power hitter for a power hitter??I'd trade C. Crawford and J. Nathan for a guy like Bobby Abreu.Then put Guillen on the BN. Don't use Schilling, Utley, or Konerko as trade bait because Schilling is the base of your pitching staff, and Utley and Konerko are your power hitters. I take advantage of having 4 very good closers and Derek Lowe. Lowe is hot right now and I don't think he'll keep it up for long. And try to get a OF power hitter cause your OF is kinda weakish.\nBut fully be aware of that usually it's pitching that gets u high in the standings. And drop Linebrink and Hernandez because Linebrink is a nonclosing reliever, which r pretty much pointless in fantasy baseball and Hernandez is only good for SOs. Maybe drop Nady for something alittle better. Yeah, that's pretty much it, good luck!!! :)

I'd take a flyer on Martin or Napoli, the rookies who are putting up betters numbers than any of the others.  Ride Napoli while he's hot.  The thing about cathchers is you can always pick up an average one from the wire, so unles syou are coming up to a pick-up deadline, or you have a limit in your league, just pick the hot hand.   A month ago that was Ross, but he seems to have cooled off, and I didn't expect him to last.   I personally think Martin will continue to hit for average, but Naoli will cool off.    I've got Johjima and Willingham, who I think are good bets, better than the rest, but Napoli and Martin are doing better now, so why not take them?  After those I'd take Estrada.

Yes, Morrison is a likely candidate.  Look for them to shop around for a C and some defenseman.  Boynton didn't live up to his full expectation.

Juan Rincon for the Twins gets a lot of holds.  Even though I like both, I would keep Mauer since there are fewer quality catchers out there than first basemen.  It will be tough for Morneau to duplicate his 2006 numbers, while Mauer's numbers might get even better...

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.

There's too much season left to start talking about that.  Need to see how his numbers pan out and how the Mets finish off the season.  At this point he's definitely a contender though.

I would definately grab Billingsley. He's one of the top pitching prospects in LA since Fernando Valenzuela. He has a 96 MPH fastball, a sick sider and a good curveball. He's got tremendous strikeout potential and is on a solid Dodger's club that will provide wins.\n\nOf course, he's only 21, and he could be erratic early in his career, much like Cole Hamels, but his upside is definately well worth the risk. \n\nAs for who to drop, Gil Meche has been surprisingly good, throwing a complete game his last time out, so I would definately hold onto him. Between Davis and Snell, either of them could be dropped. They are both decent pitchers, with potential to be very good but so far they havent shown it, so you can live without either of them. \n\nUm... I think I answered this same question like an hour ago.

No way.  Last year Delhomme had only eyes for Steve Smith and that should continue.  Keyshawn is a possession reciever who hasn't scored more than 6 TDs since his prime in 2000.  Santana will lose some catches and the redzone is not his place.  \n\nNever pass up a Top-8 RB (perhaps) for at the most, one good reciever and one decent one.  If you could get a combo of say, Fitzgerald/Burress then do it.  But there's a slim chance of that coming up to fruition.

Go with Maroney. Lundy will probably get a majority of the carries for Houston so Gado won't get a lot

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.

OFFENSE: think you are weak at 2B. Really need a replacement for loretta as he is more defensive than offensive. not much power and wont drive in many runs. Also, i dont think its a good sign when you have somebody like anderson as your util. Doesnt say much for your bench.\n\nPITCHING: Decent except have a problem with ervin santana as he is a very wild one. John Thomson is just part of the miserable atlanta rotation and weathers walks a lot for a closer. Presuming you only have him because he is a closer.\n\nADVICE: probably try and swing glavine for a closer. in terms of a replacement for loretta, you might have to depend on the waiver wire as you need every other piece of your team.\n\n7/10

Get rid of Clemens and Spahn and take Juan Marichal.  That gives you 2 lefty's and 3 righty's and a good combination of pitchers.

I took Coffey as my potential 4th closer. If he works, great. If not, it's no big loss. Either way, he'll start the season on the bench for the first month until I figure out if he's worth anything or not.
