Not sure what you mean by Agree, but clearly the Odor side is winning.

It might not be winning by as much as you think though, depending on what the keeper core looks like. I am assuming they are a contender, and they might not be able to keep both (or either)

Also, in a league with 8 keepers, a 10th round pick is a 2nd round pick. Granted, the options are a lot weaker, but you can't trade anything earlier than a 9th.

still a craptastic trade... I would say both Odor and lucroy are low end keepers, but they are keepers none the less...

I do need a refresher course on this leagues keeper rules, but assuming Odor and/or Lucroy CAN be kept then this is an a vetoable trade...

IF the team trading them has such good keepers that both Odor and lucroy are not keepers then you have to assume it is a pretty good team, so why play for the future??

I think the idea is that low end keepers are easily replaceable. If Odor and LuCroy are cast back into the player pool, they can be repicked next year. Also, I could easily imagine a scenerio where a rebuilding team would not need to keep either. Perhaps they have injured studs who are more valuable and/or a couple über prospects that they plan to retain.

I look at this deal in that the two players moving are short term rentals, and the cost is a couple high picks next year.

Still, yhe picks in question are absolutely useless to the owner trading away talent. A 9th and 10th, then MAYBE I'd look at it... but 10th and 19th? It makes no sense.

Thanks folks I didn't think this trade made ANY sense myself. Unfortunately there is NO veto power and the commissioner approved this trade earlier this am

The guy getting the players is just behind me in 5th

I agree that he should have gotten better picks, but not 9 and 10.

Fringe keepers just don't have that much value in leagues like this. It is much like trading Aroldis Chapman in MLB 2 months before he becomes a free agent. You aren't getting full price for the rental.

Doesn't really matter at this point right now since I just got CRUSHED this week, absolutely CRUSHED!
