ESPN trade offer

[TKOSpikes]

Cueto vs Sale is debatable. I would take Sale all day, every day and I love Cueto.

 

[TKOSpikes]

and pick up Dickerson... Cargo left the game tonight aggravating his finger injury... could be in for a DL stint.

 

[boredoutofmymind]

Dickerson is probably the best unowned player in every league right now except the ones I'm in.
Also I would take Sale over Cueto also. Cueto is just getting very lucky imo.

Well both offers got turned down. I think I may have to do this
I am in need of stolen bases, so trading Stanton for some steals players may be a better alternative.
With pitching if I cannot get the extra ace I should just deal Cueto for a up-and-coming ace(like Keuchel) and an extra closer.

I think Stanton isnt as valued in this league or not worth giving players up for. But now I know why that guy did that. He clearly wanted to cruise to the playoffs. And I will be honest, i dealt him Wainwright last year with Mujica for Hamilton and Gregg. I need that at the time but I also ended up helping him win the title last year and this year he's clearly the frontrunner again.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Why do you have to trade Stanton to get steals?? If nobody values Stanton as elite, then keep him and watch him hit .300, with 40 bombs. I don't see the problem. You're making it sound like he's Adam Dunn with all power and nothing else. IMO, he's the best OF in the National League.

Dickerson will get you a few steals... did you pick him up yet?

 

[Brees#1]

I added him but he only has 2 sbs all year. Does hitting higher in the lineup increase steals? But also I have nowhere to start him. Choo, Taveras, Springer, Stanton, and Rajai are taking up those spots. And Castellanos is in the u spot because I need an infielder in that spot for double plays.

 

[Brees#1]

I made a new offer, this time Stanton and Cingrani for Scherzer and Keuchel.

 

[boredoutofmymind]

Just as crazy as any other offer I have read that you offered. Do as TKO says and keep Stanton.

 

[Brees#1]

Well its too late. Unless it gets vetoed, I traded Stanton and Cingrani for Lee and Vogelsong.

 

[TKOSpikes]

To each his own, good luck... I would not have done that, even with a healthy Lee.

 

[Brees#1]

Well if it ends up blowing up in my face, I'll find a way. But when you are 20 games out of first place the best way to catch up is take hold of those pitching stats. Vogelsong has looked good for a while now and he has only gotten rocked in predictable matchups at the cards and at home against the braves, who are a good road team. As for Lee, he can get 12 K games. I'm not thinking about years down the road, I'm thinking about this year. I want this division to prove something.

 

[Chef99]

Totally in agreement with everything TKO has posted in this thread. Just wondering: why in the world were you so hot to trade Stanton?

Anyway, good luck to ya; Lord knows I've made a few head-scratchers myself.

 

[Brees#1]

Well this is a reason why........my box score
Underdogs at Bombers Box Score: Matchup 10 (Jun 2 - 8) - Free Fantasy Baseball - ESPN

 

[TKOSpikes]

That doesn't tell me anything. Trading your best hitter for a hope and a prayer that Cliff Lee comes back 100% to a terrible, terrible team that the Phillies throw out there every night just isn't good strategy, IMO.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Notice how Castellanos has been on fire since I suggested to drop him?

Was thinking the same thing minutes before you.... great minds.....

Yeah I have noticed that and was able to start him tonight with Rendon not starting. I was never planning to drop him because of that potential. I just couldn't.
