I just took over a 10 team dynasty team. Right now there is 75 man rosters, which are expanding to 90 (with the elimination of IR spots) next year. The team is terrible. So bad that the $250 entry fee has been waived for the first 2 years. I pretty much have every old guy thats injury prone. Here's a list of some of the starting hitters:

Morneau, Utley, Youkalis, Quentin, Chris Young, Soriano, Rollins, Utley. Those are the "Core" guys. So lots of work to do. I have 1 trade chip in Josh Hamilton, who I am going to deal for the best 4 prospects I can. I didn't follow Carter too much but I see he had good power #'s. As of today, what's the likliehood he is a full time 1b for the A's next year?

Not likely unless something drastic happens to Brandon Moss... The A's have a good thing going with their platoon...

I have to start somewhere, I have an owner interested in swapping Matt Adams for Quentin, fair swap?

There's only been 1 deal that I'm not 100% sure about, which is an offer to send Wade Miley for Kyle Seager. I always prefer the bat vs an arm all things being equal. I owned Seager last year and he was a real nice surprise but I'm up in the air on what to expect from him moving forward.. What do you think his Avg line will will look like and is this a fair trade? Thanks in advance...

I'd want Seager over Miley...

Yea huh? Wasn't sure, hopefully the new dimensions impact their confidence. Thanks.
