What would u consider quality? I mean, would a team wanna give up 2 quality pitchers of their own for only one quality pitcher?

Of course I think Straus is quality, why wouldn't I? But he's a scary guy to own if you have to give up 2 really good pitchers. He had an injury scare justa couple days ago, and while it checked out ok, there's still a chance that it might not be ok. So I would be leary about giving up 2 good pitchers for one good one. Just my $.02 is all.

Ok, I am really gonna be nice here, but I have to know on what planet do you think Shields/Ryu for Strausburg is a good deal? My 2 players combined have almost 1,000 points(Shields is an ace himself), to Straus' almost 400. 1 for 1 that's a good deal, but no way is the 2 for 1 a good deal. I don't think we'll find any middle ground. I wish you luck in your search for a deal, I really do.

someone look at my team and tell me why i suck.
Beacuse your team name isn't Sofa King Awesome, that's why!!! j/k Here's why:

Besides CC and Fister, your pitchers are solid, just not over-the-top(like Sly Stallone) sensational. Sale has had his struggles, but he shoudl turn things around. You have the hottest closer right now in Grilli, but your other 2 aren't getting many save chances(atleast Henderson wasn't).

And honestly, your hitters just aren't doing what they're supposed to be doing....hitting. Adam Jones, Billy Butler, Posey, those guys shoudl be producing more. But it's early, they have plenty of time. Just be happy Tulo is still healthy. :) Plus, Heyward, whilst being injured, was off to a God-awful start. I have him in another league and have been furious with his lack of production. Just be patient, things can turn in an instant.

Well you do have some guys under performing and some on the DL........It's a long season.....Look for upgrades with simple trades not block buster trades.....Take chances on guys that are hot and sit guys that are cold etc etc.....I love throwing a lefty batter in the game against a righty pitcher and sit a starter that has a bad matchup.......

11 pitchers at the end of saturaday and throw the kitchen, sink and oven at them on sunday is helpful as well.......It takes planning through the week to get it done, but don't expect to make up alot of ground on saturaday nite, the damage is usually done through the week.
