February 28, 200818 yr Couple trades proposed to me recently I'm having tough time deciding on mostly due to it being keeper league. League Info: 12 Team, Roto, 5x5, 6 Keepers Trades: Ichiro/Sherill for Byrnes/Gagne or Ichiro/Garland for Berkman/Billinglsey or Ichiro/Wainwright for Kemp/Kazmir My Team: C Russell Martin 1B James Loney 2B BJ Upton 3B Miguel Cabrera SS Orlando Cabrera OF Ichiro Suzuki OF Nick Markakis OF Corey Hart Util Jeff Franceour BN Ryan Garko BN Yunel Escobar SP Aaron Harang SP Fransisco Liriano RP Trevor Hoffman RP Kevin Gregg P AJ Burnett P Chien Ming Wang P George Sherill BN Adam Wainwright BN Jeremy Guthrie BN Jon Garland (joke pick ) My team already has some great balance offensively, the extra homers would be nice. My team is alright in pitching, another closer would be nice since its roto but my SPs get thin towards end. The fact I got Ichiro in the 4th rd somehow haha gives me some excellent trade value for him, tough deciding on which trade I like since all sort of help me. Thoughts on which trade you'd accept? Heck you could rank them.
February 28, 200818 yr Berkman/Billingsley of those three trades. But, I'd sooner keep Ichiro and Garland if it were me.
February 28, 200818 yr Don't think I would trade Ichiro in any of those deals you have listed. Ichiro is Mr. Consistent when it comes to Stats. You know what you are going to get from him... and that is a good thing.
February 28, 200818 yr QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 10:43 PM) I actually like the Kemp/Kazmir package So do I.
February 28, 200818 yr Berkman/Billingsley in a heartbeat. Garland will give you nothing. Edited February 28, 200818 yr by Reddy
February 28, 200818 yr Author QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 12:30 PM) Berkman/Billingsley in a heartbeat. Garland will give you nothing. I know Garland will give me nothing just took him with last pick as a joke. The thing I didn't mention was the guy I'd be trading Ichiro to has Pierre, Bourn, Lugo and well Jerry Owens on his bench lol, so would kinda suck to hand the steals category over to him. I'm gonna wait a bit though on that trade becasue Berkman strained his oblique. The Byrnes one was a no brainer to reject, I can't trust his last season especially since it was a contract year, just didn't see him repeating those stats but if I knew I was getting a healthy Gagne sure would be a plus to my staff. So yeah, kinda leaves me with the Kemp one and Berkman, win win either way, love to find out if Kemp is starting, all I've heard is Ethier and Pierre might be platooning, hopefully Torre has some sense to play Kemp, hes got 30/30 potential written all over him.

February 28, 200818 yr Why's everyone down on Garland? I can see 14 wins era of 4.35 120ks - not awful.

Exactly, it really isn't too unreasonable to expect 15 wins, an era in the 3s and 100 ks at the least. Never know what a change of location can do for a player and Angels park is more spacious, I believe a pitchers park too but thats just a guess. QUOTE(JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 07:20 PM) I would do ANY of those deals really. Reject em all! Kinda contradicted yourself no?
February 29, 200818 yr trade: Manny Ramirez for Roy Halladay Pitching is thin in the league but the team getting Manny has minimal power.

I can see 14 wins era of 4.35 120ks - not awful. how would he have 120 Ks? his K production has gone down every year for the last three with 98 last year. he's gonna add 20+ K's this year? i guess it's possible but i doubt it. regardless, keeping him is definitely NOT worth it.

Tough two players I'm avoiding in 2008 lol. Both are just overvalued for their draft positions. If your pitching is thin I'd go for it but Halladay is starting to fall off the map fantasy wise just as Manny is.
March 2, 200818 yr Well I'm the Halladay owner and as much as it pained me to do it, I declined the trade.
