If you look at my team its obvious I was out behind the barn when they were giving out starting pitchers. Really we kept 5 and by the time it came to my pick (after taking Andrus) the choices were Bills, Marcum, etc. So I need to deal for a SP unless I want to fly with this rotation in our H2H league.



My buddy has this team:


He is willing to deal JJ for a MI. I'm thinking I can afford to give up Andrus and probably one of my lesser SPs for JJ and an outfielder (in light of the Granderson situation). I'm thinking Andrus and Colby Lewis for JJ and Davis (I'd like JJ and Abreu but that seems a little unfair).

Agree? Disagree? Think I'm a jerk? Sound off!

Agree...

Well he decided he didn't need an MI but needed a CI instead. Between Votto, Prince, and Dunn I could afford to lose a few extra pounds (or 1B). He countered with Dunn/Lilly in exchange for JJ/Abreu.

Abreu doesnt do it for me, especially with Manny already on the team. JJ for Dunn is definitely too much in his favor, but I think I may have to do it just to address the lack of a SP.

[ ] yes, you need to overpay for an injury prone #1 SP
[ ] no, you take what the draft gods gave you and shut up
[ ] stop calling here, how did you get this number

Dunn/Lilly is too much, you could use an SP though.

Ok, moved on to another team that is looking to move an OF. They have my kryptonite in Uggla and have expressed an interest in moving Uggla and OF and of course named Dunn as a target. If I get Uggla he will need a MI, but I doubt he values Andrus as high as I do, which means Reyes is the likely other piece of a deal.

His team:

My team, still:

I'm thinking Dunn/Reyes/Lilly for Uggla/Lester/Rasmus. I'd prefer Dunn/Andrus/Lilly but I have a feeling that would just make any subsequent deal harder to reach.

Do the Reyes?

I'd take Uggla/Lester there. With Andrus first, obviously...
