BN Jason Heyward
BN Juan Uribe
BN Austin Jackson
BN Chris Dickerson (is being replaced by Jon Rauch tomorrow)
BN Russell Branyan
SP Roy Halladay
SP Justin Verlander

SP Phil Hughes
RP Mariano Rivera
RP Francisco Cordero
RP Heath Bell

I say no way Jose. Everything I'm reading about Heyward is that he is going to be dynamite. I owned Sanchez last year, and I don't think its worth it. Too many walks and not enough long outings. I'd ride out Heyward, hope he comes up hot, and maybe try to sell high on him. I think Heyward's got the kind of ceiling that can help you win a league, while Sanchez does not.

[Eric_the_Red]

I say no as well. Your SP looks fine. You need Heyward more.

[TRF]

I made a counter offer. Heyward and Asdubal Cabrera for Sanchez and Zobrist.

I doubt he bites on that.

[Tornon]

Just in my opinion, I think Zobrist & Sanchez are both pretty overrated

[TRF]

I'm a little weak in the MI, and Sanchez has good K/9 numbers, which is a scoring category. And I'm a huge Zobrist fan. picked him up for every team i had except 1 last year, in ST.

It's the prophet in me.

I'm just hoping Alcides Escobar is this year's Zobrist.

[TRF]

I cancelled the trade. It was too much, and Cabrera might OPS .850 this year. Zobrist might be a marginal upgrade, but not enough.

[Bumstead]

I like Assdribble Cabrera but .850 OPS is a lot to ask. I have him in a keeper league and I'm hoping for a repeat of last season with a few more swipes. I think keeping Heyward is a good idea.

The indians are bumping him up to leadoff. he might walk a bit more there than he did in the #2 hole. he was right at .799, so 3-4 more HR's and 10+ BB's might get him to .850

Well, for our sake, I hope he does it!
