Trade opinion

[wings4life_14]

I usally don'task for that much help in fnatasy stuff but I just want to see what you guys think about these trades that got proposed to me in my other league I have.

I get C. Guillen (SS) R. Winn (OF) and M. Maroth (SP)
He gets: H. Matsui (OF) B. Sheets (SP)

I don't think I am going to this trade

Here is the other trade:

I get L. Ford (OF) and D. Wells (SP)
He gets: S. Finley (OF)

Here is my team as of right now:

C - J Mauer
1B - J. Bagwell
2B - C. Barmes
3B - M. Lowell
SS - O. Infante
CI - C. Pena
MI - J. Hairston Jr.
OF - G. Sheffied
OF - C. Lee
OF - J Burnitz
UTL - H Matsui
UTL - S. Finley
BN - R. Klesko
BN - J. Giambi


SP - P. Martinez
SP - B. Sheets
SP - F. Garcia
RP - T. Worrell
RP - C. Tsao
P - J. Thomson
P - J. Suppan
P - J. Westbrook
P - D. Cabrera
BN - K. Millwood
BN - S. Ponson
BN - V. Santos

It is a 16 team league and it was an auto draft.

Also other trades that I did:
C. Blake for J Mauer

M. Lowell for J. Smoltz

I wouldn't do either deal as they stand.

In the first one you're giving up the two best players by far, and there are plenty of question marks surrounding Guillen.

In the second one I wouldn't do that either. Finley is getting up there in age, but he's still good and on an explosive offense.

If you're going to give up the better player I would suggest going after a mid level vet AND an up and coming player with little experience under his belt instead of getting mid level vets in return or questionable players.

Now looking at your team I wouldn't want to have to play Infante AND Barmes all year long in the middle of your infield.

Barmes can play both positions and will probably lead off in Colorado.

So that brings me to Infante.

Since you do have a surplus of good OFers, I would take Matsui or Finley and deal them for a much better SS, or at least a mid tier guy along with some mid level pitcher.

I'm not even opposed to you going and getting Carlos in that scenario, but be careful. You'll need a plan B with that ACL.

With the Infante and Barmes thing you just said I have been thinking about going after a much better SS since I had my team but the other prblem is that I only have one closer and I have been trying to trade one of my OF for a closer but no one has accepted my trades.

If closer was your only weakness, I wouldn't worry about it.

In a 16 team league getting a good one might be a major problem.

So just stack up everywhere else as best you can.

That's what I'd do if I couldn't land a good closer.

Given your roster and needs that is a very fair deal.

Young will continue to put up good numbers in Texas and is a big improvement at SS.

You can afford to deal Finley with your depth at that position and the ability to plug anyone into a utility spot.

Do it.

very fair trade

[wings4life_14]

I already did, I thought about it and it was a fair deal went ahead and accepted the trade.

Also with 4 people I can play at first: Bagwell, Pena, Klesko, and Giambi. I am hoping to move on of those players hopfully Bagwell for a 2nd baseman or another SP.
