"P" only league...... when it comes to pitching staff.....

Rest of my Team:

Schwarber (C) but mainly picked him up for another OF, but it took him as my C
M.Cabrera
Pedroia
Kyle Seager
Xander Bogaerts
Rendon
Moustakas
McCuthchen
J. Upton
Braun
Choo
Kemp
Bruce
Dickerson
V.Martinez
Span

I'm leaning to definitely no.

For shits and giggles, who do you have at 1B and Util?

 

[Driaz]

I'd definitely say no. I don't see how they are needed on your team? Where do you intend on playing them? You already have Cabrera at first. You can play one of them at corner instead of Moustakes and the other one would compete with V. Mart for Utility unless you have 2 Utility spots. I just don't see enough of a need on your team to justify trading away the best player. Also, I'm assuming this is a rather small league so your pitching wouldn't hold up in such a small format if you trade Price.

 

[TKOSpikes]

No need for that offer. Why someone would offer Pujols to the Miggy owner is baffling.

No. Pooholes is a major question mark, and Fielder, although he did bounce back from 2014, he slowed down in the second half of 2015 so he's a question mark too, admittedly a much lesser extent. Price is as much of a sure thing as you get, and the Red Sox should score runs for him.

Honestly, I'm surprised you'd consider this.

Moustakas as 1B/3B
V. Martinez as Utility

oh I really wasn't considering it at all.. in fact when I saw the offer initially I laughed my ass off. I just wanted people's opinions on here

If you had a strong pitching staff and no 1B, this would be fair. But that is not what your team looks like. I am with the consensus.

Just a question though...

You said you drafted Schwarber as an OF? If he were OF only, he would have been like a 10th round pick. His value is extremely inflated Because he can play catcher. It is a cardinal rule of fantasy baseball. If you have a catcher eligible guy like Scwarber, you play him at catcher. If you have another good backstop, then trading Scwarber for an OF should return you a much better player.

I did I thought I had another catcher but when I drafted Schwarber I picked him as a OF but ESPN put him as my cather, which is fine with me. I don't have another backstop so I can't trade him

I guess my point is, if you drafted him as an OF, you were massively reaching. That might be why some of the rosters you have posted do not look very good.

oh no, not as my everyday outfielder... I drafted him as my bench outfielder....

He has been getting drafted in the 4th or 5th round. How did you get him as a bench OF?
