[...] an eye on the Marlins transactions carefully as Bobby would make a fine addition to my fantasy Razzball league [...]

Hey, I know it is easier to go under the most recent entry so I will move this over there.

My infield is Morneau/Votto, Kinsler, Greene, and ARam/Figgins. Someone wants to move Carlos Guillen for a one to one player trade. What do you think?

OK what kind of packaging would you put together to upgrade the outfield? As to his team sucking more than mine you’re right - he is 1 and 5 and I’m 6-0. I’ll give you credit for some of those wins. Especially the one in which the guy predicted my team lossing for the whole league to see and he had to pass out the congrats before Sunday even finished.
My active outfield is Quentin, Vlad, Pence and Votto is now my utility player. Damon, Wells, Kemp, and Figgins are sitting on the bench.

@BSA: Dooooode, your team is better than this schmohawk’s team. Your outfield looks to be the weakest spot of your team (at least from what I’m seeing). Try and get Borowski for Damon or maybe Gregg. Otherwise, just drop Damon and pick up Victorino, their numbers are comparable and Victorino has better upside. If I remember correctly, you picked up Shields and Votto off waivers. They shouldn’t have been on waivers, so I don’t think anyone’s going to care if you drop Damon, or maybe they will but whatever, he has no upside anyway.

Who’s starting for Wells on your team? You might consider upgrading your outfield rather than trying to get Big Z.

Great just what we all need more tasties to tempt us.

The Jay Bruce line I quoted was actually about a week out of date. Here’s the update from mlb.com:

Jay Bruce’s season stats: .366 AVG, 8 HR, 33 RBIs, 7 SB, .662 SLG

Jay Bruce’s last 10 games: .611 AVG, 3 HR, 12 RBIs

So, like I said: Tasty.

Looking to move Damon and open up a position for Victorino. The team I am looking at has Delgado and Howard at first with pitching staff of C Zambrano,D McGowan,
F Carmona, F Cordero,J Bonderman, Borowski, J Valverde, K Gregg. I have Morneau and Votto at first and pitching staff is B.J. Ryan, E Bedard, J Shields, J Rauch, J Papelbon, J Beckett, R Harden, J Cueto, T Hudson. My outfield is Vlad, Pence, Quentin, Damon, Wells, and Kemp.
As I am aware people make some crazy, if not stupid trades but I saw another league put together Howard/Zambrano for Morneau/Upton.
Then again with you managing 15 teams as well as the number of trades people write about I am sure you already have an idea of what a package with Damon would work.

@Baron Von Vulturewins: Great breakdown, BVV. @BSA: I'm confused why you are trading Damon and Cueto for Z. If you're looking to upgrade your pitcher, don't trade Cueto. Also, someone on the bottom of the power pool isn't going to be helped by Damon.

I actually am trying to pick up Zambrano from a team who is at the bottom of the power pool. I put together Damon and Cueto thinking the opening should make way for Victorino to find his way to my bench. I then will have to be creative about Kemp with a position to upgrade.
