[brewdude15]

Top 6 should make the playoffs.

Here is a trade happening in my league, let me know what you all think:

 

Pujols, Fielder, J. Lopez and Brian Wilson for

 

Youk, Dunn, Uggla, Carpenter, Price, and Bedard.

 

What do you guys think? Who is getting the best deal?

[Houlie24x]

The team getting Pujols is getting the best deal.

I just traded Curtis Granderson for Adam Jones straight up. Good trade? I think it is pretty even. Granderson with more HR and SB but Jones has a better average, OBP, SLG and runs.

I like Granderson just because he has more of a track record, but in the end it's a wash I bet.

 

I got offered Cole Hamels for Tommie Hanson...good deal or bad deal?

[Houlie24x]

Great deal. Hamels is a proven top 5 fantasy pitcher. Hanson has been good, but he's still just a rookie.

Figure I'll do a little minor recruiting for my fantasy football league here.

 

I've got a contract-based fantasy football league that I created last year that needs three new owners. The basic league concept is that players are signed to contracts of one to four years in length during an offseason free agency auction that takes place during the preseason on the league forums. The week before the regular season, a two round rookie draft is held. So its a keeper league designed to somewhat mimic the real life managing of a sports team.

 

If you might be interested, let me know. You'll inherit a roster of five to ten players that were signed to two+ year contracts last offseason. Free agency will begin the first or second week of August.

(Note that I'm in the process of tweaking/editing the rulebook, so if you navigate to the full rulebook at the site, its not yet finalized for year two.)

 

There's also a thread for this league on the LambeauLeap forums. LINK. Year two discussion begins with post #42.

 

EDIT: And I should add that most of the returning owners are BF.net posters, if that makes a difference.

[BrewCrewForever]

I need some advice on a potential trade.

 

I Get:

Tommy Hanson

Andrew McCutchen

 

I Give:

Matt Holliday

Jose Lopez

 

Thoughts? I do need pitching.

[BrewCrewForever]

I did pull the trigger on the above trade. Then the guy I traded with dropped Lopez right away. I think I got the best of the trade.

Hate for one of my first posts to be spamish, especially if its a little off topic but here goes. I've got a fantasy football keeper league that is drafting tomorrow night on ESPN and still looking for people. If you are interested send me a PM with your email and I'll invite you. Thanks.

Anyone hear if Cameron Maybin will get a lot of PT now that he got called up by Florida? I'm thinking of picking him up and dropping Carlos Gonzalez as one of my backup OF's.

Since this topic has gone two months without a post, this looks to be a good time to close it. When a new fantasy baseball thread is started, one of the mods will make sure it's stickied.
