I think Gagne still has some value while Lyon seems like a lost cause. But those aside, this is a three for two. Sizemore is more valuable than Hafner (espec. if Hafner doesn't have 1B elig.). But Oswalt is more valuable than Johnny Cueto - enough that I don't think i'd make that trade 2 for 2. Throw in Weeks and the small value from the closers, and I'd say it's too much. If you really liked Grady and Cueto, I'd re-propose the trade without Weeks. Still don't love it but much closer to even... Rudy Hey Mike -

As for Gagne and Lyon, who needs them neway? With Sizemore in my lineup i think my offense will be unstoppable.....any thoughts?

I tried not to worry about position needs on my team until after round 6-7 and i think taking the best player available was the way to go in a 2Util league. Im still a little worried about Encarnacion but i figure he cant kill me. Thanks for taking the time....best fantasy baseball site around in my opinion.

I'm not sure how you managed to get Howard, Crawford, Rios, Berkman, Markakis, and Hafner in the first 6 rounds but it's quite the bounty. The first four were off the board by my 3rd round pick in my expert league draft and the other two weren't there by my 5th round pick. And then you still end up with Kinsler and some decent starters? I'd say your league mates need this site more than you... Rudy Hey Mike -

I could see Pence at the same level as Hart but I don't like his surrounding offense as much. Hart and Pence (as the case with most second year hitters) are going too high for my taste. As you see, I'm very down on Braun, as well. Pence would be right there with Manny. Will be doing a 21-40 post shortly. Stay tuned. Manny would probably be #21.

I saw an archived post which you state to avoid Manny, but nothing found about Pence. Most have him at the same level as Hart, thus #19 on your list ... his average auction value seems too high at #11.

Acta doesn't like to steal and Milledge hasn't stolen above 20 since A-ball. Also, .285 doesn't seem too likely. Say more like 70/.275/17/80/7, guess there's upside here, but I'd keep expectations in line. I love Lastings choice in music, but I don’t see him any higher than 30th OF off the board.
