MoFo Fantasy Baseball '11 - The Trade Thread

Sorry Dustin and no Im not trying to get one over on you. Fantasy baseball, and current MLB rosters altogether is a learning process for me. Lets haggle! Who do you want for Longoria?

Glad I got Linecum, and I was Yankee heavy anyway so I wont miss Tex.

I've thrown down a few trades in an attempt to get Infante or some pitching help. We'll see how those go.

I can't believe there is so much trading frenzy during the first week. This year could get really crazy.

LOL! Compared to the first week after the fantasy football draft these are mild times.

Cmon raul/Dustin who would you want for Longoria?

Edit in - No I cant give you DeAngelo Williams & Andre Johnson. Well unless they have to start playing baseball that is....

Allright Dustin ....

Ill give you Andrew McCutchen, and Wandy Rodriguez for Evan Longoria. Offer is sent

I've been trying to throw a few trades out in either landing a good infielder or a pitcher. If anybody has any interest in a trade let me know.

I liked your deal Dustin, I'm just not going to make any deals for several weeks until I have a better feeling of what my main guys are gonna do.

Fair enough. I feel the same way though I am frustrated with the early injuries I've had so it's made me a little antsy. It's a long season though.

There's still quite a few good players available on the waiver wire, many of whom will really become known in the next few weeks.

Really? i'm honestly struggling with options in FA, especially infielders

Ugh. I trade for Zimmerman and Drew. Drew misses the first handful of games, then finally comes back, and then Zimmerman hits the DL.

I threw in the towel on waiting for Matusz. Here's hoping he's out even longer lol.

Im curious.....what was the first trade ever done in any of our fantasy leagues? I know it had to have been the fantasy football league, and I believe it wasnt till the 2nd season. Was it an LT/Yoda trade or one of mine?

I think you're right; I'm pretty sure it was Willie Parker for Santana Moss.

the caddy trade came together pretty quick.

Indeed.

I know platoons are something folks like to avoid in FBB, but if by the end of April, you will see some of those platoons vanishing as one player emerges as the clear go-to guy. Take a flier on some infield back-up and you could end up with a real gem in the rough.

I am putting some chips down on Branyan as my off-day sub...



Branyan got the start at first base Wednesday and went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored.

Recommendation: "The Muscle" has succeeded in carrying his hot spring over to the regular season with a .421 batting average. He is completely outplaying platoon-mate Juan Miranda and at some point will force manager Kirk Gibson to give him more playing time. He is clearly earning it right now.

Hey Dexter!

Derek Jeter for David Price.

Interested?!

Hey Yoda, just as an FYI, I threw out an offer for ya. S. Drew and Weaver for Rasmus and Prado. On paper, a really fair trade, but I don't know what you are looking for.

Anybody need a good short stop? Well I got a player for you!
