Trade advice needed for my Keeper league.

[Gallen5862]

Thanks Uoduck1017. Hopefully it will work out.

Well hopefully you had Lugo playing today...3 for 3, 2 R, HR, 2 RBI, SB. 40 RBI and 22 steals is nice, but the only drawback is that .197 AVG.

I added Jason Kendall at catcher after his trade to Cubs and dropped Gil Meche. What does anyone think of the roster move?

[NJReds]

I'm not sure what you're expecting out of Kendall.

[Gallen5862]

Ross is my other catcher. I am taking a chance he gets a lift from a change of teams.

Wow. Those are a couple of bad hitting catchers. I guess it's worth the risk.

[Gallen5862]

What advice does anyone have about this trade proposal in my 6 or 8 player keeper league. I have been offered Dan Haren and Kelly Johnson and Jermaine Dye for Brandon Phillips and Juan Pierre. Who should I drop for the trade? Would Haren would move to a keeper spot?

[NJReds]

I like that trade from your perspective. Drop Cody Ross.

[Gallen5862]

Thanks for the advise NJReds. it was for my non keeper league. I typed clarification but it didn't edit. I will post the roster in that league.

Heck yeah,i'd be all over that deal.Beltre has got his swing back,and Lowry is a young ace in the making.Well there is uncertainty about Clemens future.

I added Rickie Weeks and dropped Randy Johnson in my Keeper league. what does anyone think of my roster and the move? Any advice for my team? It is now 9th out of 14 teams.

I can definately see you like the Reds with a total of 9 players. Carpenter is done for the year so you can drop him if you need another DL spot.

[Jr's Boy]

Gallen its great getting advice,however its your team and you gotta decide whats best.I mean I noticed you have asked about every move you have made.I did that a lot last season until a really good money player and friend told me I had to start making my own moves if I ever wanted to run a successful team.A little advice every now and then is ok concerning trades,players et all,but you want to run your own team and not everyone your asking for advice.
Sorry I hope you don't take this the wrong way.I'm not trying to be harsh,just trying to offer advice.

[Gallen5862]

Thanks uoduck and Jr's Boy. I understand what you are saying about advice. I am just not use to keeper leagues. I will put Freel on dl and drop Carpenter for another player.
