Fantasy Baseball trade advice?

I have a question for you guys. What do you guys think of this possible trade?





I would get:


Eric Byrnes


Rick Ankiel


Brian Bannister


Randy Wolf





I would give up:


David Ortiz


Ryan Zimmerman


Justin verlander





Let me know what you think of the trade, whether you think I should go through with it, and whether I should try to get Chris Young or Jermaine Dye instead of the named outfielders.





Thanks!!!





Here is the rest of my line up:





C Jason Varitek (Bos - C)


1B David Ortiz (Bos - 1B)


2B Brandon Phillips (Cin - 2B)

Honestly i don't know why in the world you would do this trade.





Your trading a 1st/2nd rounder in Ortiz, a Possible 4th rounder in Verlander, and a 10th rounder in Zimmerman for a good outfielder in Byrnes, for 3 scrubs who are just doing good as of now. Ankiel, Bannister, %26amp; Wolf will eventually come back down to earth. These 3 would be great pickups as free agents but your giving 2 great players and a decent player for a good player and people who are hot as of now.





Essentially this is a 3 for 1 deal, Ortiz, Zimmerman, %26amp; Verlander for Byrnes. While Ortiz, Zimmerman %26amp; Verlander are all of to slow starts they have been consistent over the past years. Why would you want to trade consistency for players who are hot right now?





Ortiz has averaged 43 HR's, .309 AVG, and 135 RBI's since joining the Red Sox. Verlander has a combined record of 35-17 and 314 K's in the '06, %26amp; '07 seasons. The Tigers bats are just starting to heat up and you should expect more run support from a potent Tigers lineup when Granderson returns. Zimmerman is a good hitter who should smack 25-30 HR's this year with 100 + RBI's and a .270 AVG. Although struggling now, Much more consistent than Ankiel.





I hope you don't make this trade. Your players have plenty of time to heat up later on in the year. Your players are going to get better as the season progresses, while his will get worse. Think about the long haul, Consistency? Or Players who are doing good now but will get worse?





Hope this helped! Good luck this year!!
Reply:Well keep verlander , try to get rid of ortiz for pujols or prince fielder or ryan howard... get rid of Zimmerman for ankiel.. Ankiel is doin OUTSTANDING so far other wise i wouldnt do the trade
Reply:There is no way why you would do that trade.
Reply:Six man leagues or 8 man leagues are stupid. Good Luck.

First of all, get Mark Reynolds in at 3B. And of course accept the trade. Your team would be sick!

Reply:C - I guess Estrada...but none of them are particularly good choices right now.


1B - Prince...he's been better this year than Pujols.


2B - Brandon Phillips, he's the best of an average group of players.


3B - Aramis, he's had a good first half even with missing some time.


SS - JJ Hardy, its not even close.


RF - Corey Hart, not one of the top three in the outfield, but of guys who actually play right he's the best so far.


CF - Hunter Pence, Soriano isn't playing CF anymore so this is a rather weak position too.


LF - Carlos Lee, this is the toughest spot to fill of all with 4 guys who could of gotten the nod.


My outfield would look like this if you ignored position....Lee, Soriano, Dunn...just like you picked it.





SP - Harang, he's been the best so far this season.


SP - Oswalt, right there with Harang


SP - Sheets, another stellar year now that he's healthy again.


SP - Ian Snell, he's been a stud on a horrible team.


SP - Rich Hill, its tough to leave off Zambrano, but he struggled so much early that he gets left off for the man with the nasty curveball.


RP - Ryan Franklin, the guy has been unhittable as a setup man so far this year, and is the lone Cardinal on the team.


CL - Cordero, no one can touch him, he's been amazing all year.





Manager - Yost, he's got a young team beleiving in themselves and playing great baseball.





Notable omissions from the team....Pujols, D-Lee, Freddy Sanchez, Scott Rolen, Mark DeRosa, Jason Bay, Griffey, Zambrano, Suppan, Vargas, Gorzellany, and Isrignhausen. They would be my bench if I had to make one

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rate and Give Suggestions on my Fantasy Football team (please)?
6 teams no compition, its about who got lucky everyone should have studs all the way around with lots of studs on waivers.





I will tell you this dump Randy Moss and pick up someone like B Edwards at WR.
Reply:Trade moss. It wont get any better for him. Maybe someone will over value him. Other thant that you have a pretty good team.
Reply:Great team, but drop Cooley...Dallas just had their bye week and you can use Witten every week. Pick up another WR for depth.
Reply:Start Grossman over Hasslebak and trade your receivers for some decent ones. Use their names as trading leverage. However, Moss is a total bust this season, and Chad Johnson will not put up the same numbers as last few years because they have too many good weapons now. RB's and Defense are ok, TE are ok...
Reply:get another kicker and switch out hasseleback and grossman depending on their opponents put grossman in because if im not wrong hes facing seatle and bears have a good defence so do not start hasselback this week





good luck

Should I trade Torii Hunter for Nick Swisher inf Fantasy Baseball?
Swisher moved up to second in the batting order on Wednesday, in an attempt to stimulate the A's slumping lineup. With this happening you can expect move at-bats from him and more opportunities. Right now, Hunter hasn't been producing as well as Swisher. Making Swisher the better player in the trade.
Reply:I'd take Swisher over Hunter at this point... Swisher is primed for a breakout year - look for somewhere around 30-35 HRs and about 100 RBIs from him... Hunter on the other hand is getting up there in age and is on the decline... he may get some more steals than Swisher but he should only hit 20-25 HRs with about 80-85 RBIs...
Reply:Comparison of '06 season:





Swisher: 106 runs, 35 homers, 95 RBIs, 1 steal, .254 AVG .372 OBP


27 yrs. old





Hunter: 86 runs 31 homers 98 RBIs 16 steals .278 AVG


.336 OBP


31 yrs. old





Swisher had more solid stats with the OBP, runs, rbi's, and homers. Hunter stole more, but just take a quick glance at age and you will see the difference. Swisher is in his prime. Hunter-4 years past his prime.





Take Swisher.

I am going to be honest with you. You wasted your high draft picks on WR (YOUR FIRST TWO PICKS BETTER HAD BEEN JOHNSON AND WARD BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE YOU DRAFTED IS TOP 25).





QB- Roethlisberger is a WINNER but he has not put up fantasy numbers, at best his production has shown him to be a top BACKUP! now if you are predicting he is about to put up huge numbers than that is different but you would need a quality backup in a good offense (Trent Green, Byron Leftwhich or Steve McNair) Mark Brunell has not shown himself to be that type of player since moving to Washington.





RB- Julius Jones and Domnic Davis are both injury prone, there is a good chance that in Week 4 you will be starting two rookies (reggie bush and Wali Lundy) There is noway you should have allowed yourself to get stuck with this running back situation. IF they are healthy they both can be productive, but neither one has proven to be healthy.





WR- You are good, nothing to say but watch out for Ward hamstring.





K %26amp; TE - Decent selections based on production and potential.





W/R - Please read RB and take out Dominic Davis and Julius Jones and put in Ahmed Green





DEF - Pittsburgh Good





D- linebackers good (no way of figuring out how high you drafted these guys from the looks of your team you drafted them hopefully before running backs).
Reply:solid, but it looks like you put too much emphasis on wide receivers... this is good for a 10-12 man league though
Reply:probably a few too many receivers, but lots of potential for huge days
Reply:Not a bad team.





QBs - Big Ben isn't going to put up huge fantasy #s since the Steelers are a run-first team. Brunell had a great season last year %26amp; has plenty of good receiving options, but he's otherwise a question mark w/ an injury history and Jason Campbell waiting to take over. You might want to upgrade there.





WRs - solid





RBs - Domanick Davis may spend the season on the bench %26amp; Ahman Green hasn't had a healthy full season in a while. J. Jones, R. Bush, C. Brown and W. Lundy should provide you with plenty of options, however.





TE - solid, but no backup for bye week





K - see TE





DEF - see TE





IDPs - I've never played IDPs before, so I have no idea how well those players will do. But on the surface, they don't seem like the kind of players that are going to light up the stat boards. However, I could be quite wrong.





You have a good team, but like I said, you might want to look into an upgrade at QB %26amp; make sure that the waiver wires will have what you need at TE, K and DEF.
Reply:Everything looks good except RB's. kinda weak there. must be a 12 team league.
Reply:I would say average to below average. You are relying on Pitt to have a great game every game if you decide to start Ben, Hines, and the Def at the same time.
Reply:very weak at rb
Reply:your quarterbacks could always be better, ben and mark are decent, and your rb squad needs to be upgraded, you better just hope bush gets the starting nod because even though davis is a decent rb, he gets hurt to often, same with chris brown and in ten. they have a deep rb squad with henry and white. and ahmen green has gone way down hill
Reply:Oh man that is horrible dominick davis might not even start and julius jones is a split back, you have too many wide recievers and almost none of them point makers. Trade Johnson or Ward for a running back and a solid qb rothlisberger is coming off injury and brunell is injury prone, do something.

Reply:Just Quit! In your other question I thought you drafted the team, knowing that it was auto-drafted, I have new respect for you.





Try and trade Reggie Bush, hopefully you can package him and Dominc Davis together for a healthy RB. Personally I would be going after Ronnie Brown
Reply:your quarterbacks could always be better, ben and mark are decent, and your rb squad needs to be upgraded, you better just hope bush gets the starting nod because even though davis is a decent rb, he gets hurt to often, same with chris brown and in ten. they have a deep rb squad with henry and white.
Reply:next to johnson i think your in for a long season, gl.
Reply:You need much better QBs
Reply:As a general rule, auto-picked teams usually wind up being awful. Yours isn't much of an exception, although you did get lucky with Wali Lundy (Davis likely is out for the season) and if Chris Brown gets traded you may end up with something decent there.





And you better hope Big Ben doesn't get hurt.
