July 7, 201312 yr Alright guys I need your input. I have been talking trades with this guy for awhile and wondering if you would do this deal Keep in mind this is a Dynasty League. Keep in mind my CF is Lorenzo Cain and I have a lot of pitchers. I would get: Andrew McCutchen, Brandon Belt, Hector Santiago, Brandon McCarthy, and prospect Robert Stephenson from the Reds He Gets: Prince Fielder, Chris Sale, and Lorenzo Cain would you do this deal or not??
July 7, 201312 yr I wouldn't do it. Not liking giving up Sale in a Dynasty Lg, for one thing. I don't think this makes you better though I don't know your whole team.

McCutchen's the only thing of value you're getting. end of story
July 8, 201312 yr Author Thanks guys! I have pulled out of the deal. Belt would of been my 1B This is a 20 team dynasty league too so its tough. I am trying to get Cuddyer for Burnett right now. My pitching is pretty good at this point and I can afford to give up Burnett for Cuddyer who has been tearing it up this year. My outfield next week will look like this LF- Quentin CF- Crisp RF- Ethier with Cain and Viciedo on the bench. That is the main reason I was trying to get McCutchen, my OF doesn't have a stud and wanted one. If I get Cuddyer I might try my best to get McCutchen without giving up Sale
July 8, 201312 yr Author I just got this trade offer: Mike Minor, Lorenzo Cain, and Jorge Alfaro (Rangers prospect catcher) for Dominic Brown What do you think?

July 8, 201312 yr oh - and i'm really good at fantasy baseball. i know that's not really great credentials, but just sayin'

That's a really solid 1-2-3, especially throwing Quintana in the mix. I don't buy Miguel Gonzalez long term, and Burnett's gonna fall off again in the next year or so. Honestly I'd hang on to Minor - i dont think the upgrade at OF is worth falling off at SP. Can you keep as many guys as you want from year to year?
July 8, 201312 yr Author Yeah, its a dynasty league so get to keep everyone and we have a farm system of up to 10 prospects but that could expand next year. I told him I would give Burnett instead. But if not I am going to try and get Cuddyer for Burnett instead. I need hitting at this point, younger is better. C- Lucroy 1B- Fielder 2B- Scutaro SS- Rollins 3B- Headley LF- Quentin CF- Crisp RF- Ethier BN- Gillaspie BN- Cain BN- Viciedo I am currently in 5th place but should be in 4th tomorrow. I need to get a bit younger and I feel Brown could do that.

They're really similar players and Cain is younger right (dont remember off the top of my head) I like the Burnett for Cuddyer trade though.

Cain is 27, Brown is 25 and now he has actually proven something at the major league level, which Cain has yet to do.

Cain- 27 years old, career .272 hitter, with 12 home runs, 80 RBI's, 26 SB, in 184 games This year- .257, 4 HR, 35 RBI, 36 R, 9 SB Brown- 25 years old, career .254 avg, 34 home runs, 118 RBI's, 13 SB, in 234 games This year- .281, 23 HR, 62 RBI, 49 R, 8 SB (All-Star) Brown has the power and has seem to find it this year, would much rather have him then Cain. I need some power pretty bad.
July 8, 201312 yr Author I am basically trying to decide if I would rather have Minor or Brown. Both are the same age. I have pretty good pitching at this point but need the hitting. I asked him if he would do Burnett instead of Minor but I doubt he will.

At only 25, yeah he's obviously the better call and the better bet going forward. Cya credibility! I still like Minor, but if you really think hitting is a weak point, go for it. Quentin's days are numbered, and OF is a surprisingly shallow position to fill. I had no idea Brown was still 25... haha crazytown

I like Minor and would rather give the guy Burnett and Westbrook or something instead of Minor
July 8, 201312 yr Do it. Brown is an upgrade and your pitching will still be pretty strong. Besides, three for one, who knows what you can get off waivers, though we know in a 20 team league there's not a lot out there.

Tried to get Phegley off of waivers but the other White Sox fan had a better position and stole him from me.. lol. But there isn't anything on waivers. It is technically two for one since the prospect isn't on my roster as of now. But I am really thinking about it. I offered him Burnett and Westbrook first, if he doesn't I will probably do the original deal he asked
July 9, 201312 yr Author Would you rather have: McCutchen, Keppinger or Fielder, Sctuaro, Lorenzo Cain 1B would be Cuddyer who I traded for instead of Prince and outfield would consist of McCutchen, Ethier, Crisp, Quentin Or I keep Fielder and have Cuddyer, Ethier, Crisp, Quentin in the outfield
July 9, 201312 yr QUOTE (Reddy @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 03:41 AM) Quentin's days are numbered I have Quentin in a league with a ton of roster space, and I pretty much only start him on the road, where he's a monster: 157 AB 1.047 OPS .336 AVG 8 HR 22 RBI 24 R I'll throw him out there against a really awful pitcher when he's at Petco, but it usually backfires. Also, if he's going up against a top-shelf lefty, you sit him, regardless of where's he's playing.
