who's the best player to send in a trade for Jeff Francouer?

If you have Hawpe, why go for Francouer? Hawpe is having a better year. Here are the numbers:\n\nHawpe-- .331 avg, 8 HR, 23 RBI, 16 Runs, 1 SB, 1.012 OPS\nFrancouer-- .239, 6 HR, 22 RBI, 17 Runs, 0 SB, .667 OPS\n\nIt's not even close man! Keep Hawpe and make sure he's starting!

Would say Lidge, but he's already been axed temporarily. He's been demoted to a bullpen role while Wheeler and Qualls share the closer duty. Well, cross one off the list.\n\nWould also say Isringhausen, but he plays for the Cards, so a closer isnt as important to them. Also, Isringhausen is good when he needs to be, as in late september and the playoffs.\n\nWould say Street but Duscherer (who i think would be his replacement) is now on the 15 day DL. If i had to pick somebody,  it would be Chad Cordero. Earns quite a lot of money, yet isnt used. No point in keeping him.

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.

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.

First I'd check for a C upgrade. Lopez isn't bad, but I picked up Ramon Hernandez today and Willingham recently on another team. It never hurts to look. While Mueller is hot now, he's not a long term answer. You really should be getting some SBs out of this position. Check out Josh Barfield of SD or Castillo of Pittsburgh. Your team is vitually bereft of speed. SPs are weak. I'd drop Weaver and look at Bannister of the Mets.Trade Clement now before he reverts to his normal form. Andruw Jones supplies great HR?RBIs, but he's a drain on team batting average. I would be inclined to offer Thome or Jones for an SP. Keep your eyes on the free agents in your league. Use your DL slot. Always good to keep one guy on the DL, so if another goes on the DL, you can just switch them. I think your team is mid-pack talent wise. You need a couple front of the order guys for runs and SBs. Maybe Granderson or Stewart are available. Maybe package Thome or Jones plus Clement. Get an SP with era/whip and a .300+ hitter who'll replace some of the HRs you traded.

If you havent picked up Justin Verlander (Detroit) I suggest you do. He's a young and talented fireballer. I have him on my team, and I aint gonna give him up for nothing.

well if your were to trade him now you could get someone like armondo benitez.  but you really shoud wait a few starts to see what he can really do. Then if he does better you could go after someone like joe nathan and billy wagner

Have to go with Ottawa's Brian McGrattan.  The guy's huge and loves to fight.  Maybe too much!

I would probably at least consider making that trade. It sounds logical, for all the reasons you mention. I really wonder about any team that has Jeff Kent playing first at this point in the season.

Awesome trade! Andrew Jones is an amazing hitter. If you watch the way he swings you can tell this guy's great. In my mind Andrew is one of the best players in the leauge and getting him for Casey Blake was a total steal. Awesome!

if you can get pujos or arod that'd be great but I doubt someone will trade one of them for what you are offering. What you want to get all depends on what you need. Do you have homerun hitters, sb threats, an RBI guy? What kind of stats does your league keep?

Out of that bunch, you may be best served trading Randy Johnson and Ryan Dempster. You have two strikeout guys in Santana and Kazmir and occasionally a third with Buehrle. \n\nGetting a taker for Johnson should be easy, look for a younger starter like SF's Noah Lowry, or Anaheim's John Lackey or Washington's John Patterson. I know Patterson is injured now and won't be back for another two weeks, but he looks like a keeper.\n\nIf you package Chipper and maybe Beltran for a superstar outfielder, that may also work.

Smoltz is the only one you can condider, or you should ask for better offer.  Even Derrek Lee would be out for 6-8 weeks, but that's a simple injury (not like Prior's and Wood's) and Derek Lee has a reputation to be tough (never been to DL before).  That's someone you can trust.  What if you trade for someone and he goes to DL as well?  Now you can't even Lee back!\n\nAnd the most important thing is, you can pick another 1B from FA and have close number to Lee's.  Like Todd Walker (He will be eligible for 1B soon), or even Xavier Nady, Ben Broussard.

He probably won't take it even as bad as Zambrano has been you are totally taking him on that deal.  Martinez is much better than Lopez.  Colon is injured.  You get a 40 save closer on top of that.  Hafner is not much worse than Ortiz if at all.  I would do the trade if I were you doubt he would though

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.

I'll take Bobby Orr, the man changed the way the game is played and would have been even better if he could have played longer.  Not that the Great one but remember the Oilers won a cup without him and the Bruins haven't won since Orr left
