rangercal Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I bought Low and sold very High. traded Cliff Lee, Cle SP traded Mike Jacobs, Fla 1B traded Rickie Weeks, Mil 2B received Ryan Howard, Phi 1B I was on the Verge of releasing Weeks anyway, so it really comes down to Jacobs and Lee for Howard from my perspective. What's everyone's thoughts on this deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie hayes Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Very nice. Jacobs is a nice player, but definitely replaceable. I do think Lee's better than I gave him credit for, but still, Howard easily makes up for it. I've been trying to land him in one of my leagues, but no such luck. Great deal.

rangercal Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 Thanks for the feedback. I am a 'little' nervous about how this could work out. But, the pure baseball fan in me knows the law of baseball averages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the pure baseball fan in me knows the law of baseball averages. I'm probably stupid then. I went the other way. I traded: Prince Fielder and Fausto Carmona I received: Casey Kochman and Josh Beckett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, my pitching's not that great and I have other guys who can play 1B, including Garrett Atkins and Adrian Gonzalez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh now that I know the big picture, yeah that makes sense. I just made a somewhat similar trade. Have tons of hitting, observe: C Soto 1B Atkins 2B Kinsler 3B Wright SS Tejada OF Guerrero OF Ordonez OF Soriano Util Gordon Bn Jeter Bn Ibanez Bn Bourn Pitching: Lackey Marcum Jenks Percival Gregg Lilly Snell Bonderman Olsen Don't ask how I got this offense, was an autodraft 12 team yahoo league, I did get Gordon off waivers prior to start of season, nice snag, dropped Justin Upton though ouch. Heres the trade I accepted, just makes too much sense with how bad my pitching is.
