I agree with the volquez drop might even think about matusz who has seemed to turn it around after a shaky midseason, but could be capped on innings.

My Team
Matt Garza
Tim Hudson
John Lackey
Colby Lewis
Jorge De La Rosa
Edinson Volquez

Waiver Wire
Mike Minor
Barry Enright (not on my radar)
Brian Matusz (not on my radar)

I'm assuming justin but if it was bj i would look to either of those deals. However i don't think justin is worth letting go in keeper leagues. Hart may be traded soon to a park or division that is less friendly as well. I'd see if you could get a hart and b. anderson deal or scherzer if you want but even then i cringe. or wood/upton for hart/reynolds/scherzer

Currently sitting in 3rd place but 1st is attainable.... trade deadline next week, free agent freeze Sept 1.  Keep 8 players each year, no strings on kept players.

Leading Runs by 5, currently 20 K's behind leader, and 1 save behind leader.  Doing well in other categories but these are the most I'm competing in.  Looking to bolster my production for the stretch run and have a couple of trades in discussion but looking for input.

 

My team:

Active

Napoli - C, Youkilis -1, Zobrist -2, Andrus - ss, Headley -3, Hamilton, Upton, McCutcheon -OF, C Johnson - Util, King Felix, Lincecum, Dempster, Latos - SP, Feliz - RP.

Reserves

T Wood -P, G Gonzalez - P, M Rivera - RP, Bryce Harper - OF, CJ Wilson - P, G Sizemore - IR

Another owner wants Upton pretty bad and has offered up D Ortiz and C Hart for him.  Im not sure about Harts production with his injury... should I target Ortiz and T colvin or offer him a package of Wood/Upton/Harper for Ortiz/Colvin/Scherzer or forget Colvin and take Hart in the deal.... or my ultimate dilemma ... keep Upton and hope I have enough to make up the difference?

 

His lineup is Suzuki, I Davis, Uggla, Reynolds, Reyes, Swisher, Hart, Colvin, Ortiz, Piniero, Gallardo, Scherzer, Kuroda, Capps, Laporta, Burnett, Padilla, B Anderson, Leake, Morales.

 

just looking for other input gang......thanks

If you got a spot stash him looks like he's doing well.

I just swapped Weiters for Heyward on my DL slots.

 

I am going to first see Haren's first few starts of the second half before I aggressivley try to deal him. I am still listening to offers in my league though.

 

Thanks for the Reply,

I'd wait on haren to see if he gets traded but he is notoriously worse in the second half. Cahill as well as i don't believe his clip will continue,

Your opinions would be much appreciated.

Which 2 catchers do your predict will have the best 2nd half:

Matt Weiters (will he repeat his strong 2nd half from last year?)

Miguel Montero (Good, but coming off injury. need a backup because he sits 1-2 times a week)

Buster Posey (Multi position, young, is his hot start a fluke?)

 

Lastly, which pitcher will make the best trade bate?

Haren, Hamels, Hanson, Latos, Cahill, Cain

 

Thanks in advance for your opinions

1. B. Harper

2. J. Taillon

3. M. Machado

4. C. Colon

5. D. Pomeranz

6. Barrett Loux

7. M. Harvey

8. D. DeShields

9. K. Whitson

10. M. Choice

 

I didn't do too bad...got the top 3 (which was easy) and my amended #4 pick turned out (and I'm glad KC went that route).  Then hit on picks 5, 7, and 9.  Not too shabby.  I think it was kind of a crap shoot after the top 3, as KC was a bit of a wild card.  It was a good draft though, and should see a lot of impact players coming out of that first round.

What else does he want you to throw in? Weiters will come around but mauers production wont fall and heyward and upton are almost a wash for the future, but this year justin is better. If all it takes is a pidlly 2nd or 3rd round pick i'd do it.
