Smitty…I don't know if you remember me asking this same question last season in a dynasty league…but I wound up moving Pujols and getting Lincecum, Ellsbury (who never really wound up coming off the DL last year, but it's a dynasty), and extra first and third round pick in our short draft this season.  So I got arguably the best pitcher in MLB, a young speedster who should score 100 runs and swipe 40 bases, and now in our three round draft this year, I'm sitting with two first rounders, a second rounder, and two third rounders.  I'm going to try and bundle a couple of picks together and move up in the draft again…or may use them with a player to trade for an upgrade somewhere.

Losing Albert sucked…but I had Billy Butler to slide into first base (drop off, but still a solid hitter) and as it turned out, my underperforming team made a huge run after this trade and I wound up winning the whole thing….

Sounds like bobellis knows what he's doing!

Did you pull off the Nuggets-Knicks trade last week?  N.Y. Nuggets are 4-1 since shipping off 'Melo.  Sounds like what Bob did with this trade last year.

 

I don't know…time will tell if I know what I'm doing!  it's a dynasty league…so we'll see what happens this year.  But I was doing LOUSY with Pujols, so I figured what the heck….

I traded Heyward and Pujols both last year…I can't remember what I bundled with Heyward, but I wound up with Mauer. 

And yeah…as long as that Nuggets trade keeps looking brilliant, I'll take credit….

well worst case scenario if you can't find a trade partner is you have Pujols on your team…and that's not a bad guy to have in yuor lineup….
