BJ Upton for Jon Lester?

I would get Lester in the deal and my other keepers are Braun, Teix, JRoll, and Cano.

or anyone for guillen for that matter

@David: Any of them are worthy… I’d take them Cano, Lester then Lind, in that order, if you’ve already taken an OF.

@mrbaseball: A UFO? Ha!

@mrbaseball: No, you’re not crazy to go with Hanley first if that’s how it plays out.

@Barker: Don’t you love leagues that you have to reach for DeRosa in? Yeah, 20 teams are tough. I did a 20 team recently and I think I like your team better than mine. A few picks I’d shy away from — Dice K, Ellis, Hideki — But in that deep of league, it’s a good team. If Vazquez and Cuddyer can approach last year’s production, you should be in the hunt. Maybe you can flip a closer for a piece in May. Looks good though.

@martin: Votto is worth more than A-Gon if he does what he’s capable of. When a guy has never done it vs. a guy that has three years in a row. It’s good to side with the known. But Votto’s capable, for sure.

re: Mayberry Method — It’s something that should be intuitive. Don’t see why it needs a name. It’s like saying the Water Drinking To Stay Alive method. But, yeah, it’s good to have balanced players. It’s why sometimes I look at teams and say, “You have speed on one side and power on another.” You’re much better with CarGo and Kemp than Dunn and Bourn.

EDIT: Word.

bit early on derosa but needed a third baseman bad

I know what you’re probably all wondering: Who is Jeff Bronkey?

Well, I had to find that out myself. He pitched for two years in the majors for the Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers. He had a lifetime record of 2-2 and recorded a measly 36 career strikeouts.

Look at A-Rod numbers the treatment was worked like a gem – attention yankee management – I come to the ballpark to see Arod crank one out – not for Derrek Jeters infield hit

ITS HIGH ITS FAR ITS GONE – AN HGH BOMB BY AROD

I can’t keep track of all this crap – 1/2 the players doing this stuff have not even been caught and the players that were doing this stuff MLB looked the other way for years so Arod won’t get into the Hall of Fame – I don’t care I am not going there – well unless they make the Worlds Best Hot Dog – I been to the hall of fame – its in the middle of no where – the only cool part of it you might get a chance to see an UFO if you are traveling at night

And since it is a K league, how far do you devalue Ian Stewart? What round would you draft him in?

@D2: Sorry, it’s too much for me to look at links to teams. It takes going back and forth and it’s a hassle for me. I’d happily look at your team if you copy here or the forum.

re: the trade — “somebody else not in white fill color” — Huh?

@WillieMaysHayes: Kemp and Sizemore for Fielder? That’s way too much. Give a 1st and 2nd round pick for Fielder? Yeah, that’s okay.
