These would be hard trades to get through in most leagues. Can’t hurt to try. Papelbon for Dunn is the most realistic trade given ADPs. But given that your other closers suck, I’d look to package Lilly or Grienke w/ Victorino or Dye for a better OF. Maybe a team w/ speed issues? You’ve got Reyes and Upton so no need for Victorino…make them feel that they’re getting a break b/c he’s hurt right now.

Actually Kicker of Elves, Braun was my one keeper. My first three choices were Reyes, Upton and Berkman, that certainly isn’t out of line looking at their ADP’s.

I don’t know, he might have a shot given a league where you can grab, Reyes, Braun, Upton, and Berkman with your first 4 picks.

I don’t think anyone ever lost a league because they got too much in a trade. Or at least tried to, that’s why there’s options.

Are you kidding Grey? I would love to be in any league in which any of your proposed trades went through. Blalock is droppable in 12 team leagues and D. Young is a high-upside guy at best. The only reasonable proposal you’re suggesting is papelbon and blalock for atkins. Papelbon, young and blalock for holliday…. absolute joke. To quote myself, you’re living in fantasy land if you think your proposals are reasonable. Fantasy land.
