Well Ive pulled off a few trades that im pretty happy with I really like what i got.
First trade:
Ichiro and Krod for Micheal young and Adam Dunn. I like this trade because it shores up a glaring weakness I had at SS. before this I had Kahlil Greene as my starter. My OF still has beltran and M. Cabrera along with Jason Lane. I dealt from my closer strength, I still have Cordero, graves, and mesa. Two of these should be above average save earners for me.
Second Trade:
Jim Edmonds for Mark Prior. I love prior I really think he's going to have a strong year. Jim was hard to give up but he's only getting older and I fell that he's probably reached his peak and gettin Prior was more then a fair deal in return. I was really weak on pitching and Prior is a stud that should really help.
You guys think I got a fair deal on all of this?

That first deal makes me cringe. Ichiro does tend to be an overrated fantasy player though. It depends on your format. Dunn is a classic all or nothing guy with an injury history.
But I like Young and I believe he's still underrated.
As far as the second deal goes one of these years Prior is going to go out and win a Cy Young, or at least be in the running. That might be this year. Great move.

I needed young, It was the only hole in my lineup as of right now, everybody else I can really depend on to really contribute. Dunn is a injury concern but i might be able to package him with something else to get some more pitching. There are some stupid people in my leauge as far as trades go so i could be able to flip him around for something good.

Bonderman for Mesa is a good deal. Bonderman should have a break out year and Mesa is going to lose his closers job to Mike Gonzalez sometime this year.

Yeah i feel sorry for the poor sucker who didnt know. He has no closers and probably thought he was getting a decent one in mesa.

Does Dunn have first base eligibility still?
He rocked for me last year, making what I thought was a huge hole into a strength.

Yeah he does, I totally overlooked that. Should be good I have sean casey at first and im not to high on him. Hes getting older and those numbers are gonna go down someday.
