Trade I just made.

I trade: Hideki Matsui, Chien Ming Wang, Matt Morris

for

Mike Lowell, Johnny Damon

My team now is:

Russell Martin
Lance Berkman
Placido Polanco
Brendan Harris
Aramis Ramirez
Carl Crawford
Alex Rios
Johnny Damon
Derrek Lee
Mike Lowell

Bench: Frank Thomas, Delmon Young, Felipe Lopez

Pitching:
Felix Hernandez
Chris Capuano
Chris Young
Derek Lowe
Jorge De La Rosa
Doug Davis
Mark Hendrickson
Claudio Vargas
Joakim Soria
Justin Duchscherer

DL: Jason Jennings, Jason Bergmann

I'm gonna try to trade spare parts in The Big Hurt and Delmon or Felipe for some other decent pitchers, where I'm lacking the most.

What do you guys think?

Yeah, that's a great trade. I've practically been begging for Johnny Damon in my league.

Re: Trade I just made.

To add on, what do you guys think about making a deal that sends Rios and Frank Thomas away for CC Sabathia?

So I'm still looking to pick up a solid pitcher without having to give up an arm and a leg.

Re: Trade I just made.

Not bad..............I think wang is terrible personally, and Morris isn't much better, so anything you can get for either is a personal victory. Damon and Matsui are a coinflip, with the winner being based on need.......with CC and Rios your only real speed threats, Damon's 25 or so sb's will help you a lot.

As for the last part, I think NOOOOOOOO. Delmon is just starting to heat up, but is still sitting on low value for what he could do. Hang on tight and trade later if you want. I'd prob keep him, and trade Rios instead, who will give you greater return. Prob for an infielder with speed.

Re: Trade I just made.

Need a quick opinion...

Would you do:

Carl Crawford and Felipe Lopez

for

Shane Victorino, Tom Gorzelanny, Oliver Perez, Kelvim Escobar, Takashi Saito

I really feel like the team needs the pitching, and that would give it a shot in the arm, but I'm having a hard time thinking about parting with crawford.

Re: Trade I just made.

I would not do that. Would that trade really be worth dropping players?

It's not. I didn't do it, but my pitching is still awful.

Target a buy low guy or two..............Dave Bush, or even James Shields, who seems to be undervalued.
