Acquired Dice-K for my 1st place team. Rate it

[A2J]

Just traded Martin and Gagne for Dice-K and Johjima. I feel with my depth on offense and at closer, this trade was something I could not pass up.

Still have Lidge on the DL. Drop who to activate him?

Wow, you got a steal IMO on the trade. Good job. This is a pretty sweet team for a 14 team league. I would keep everything the same, as you are in first place.

Thanks for the help with mine. Unless you are going to do some more deals and your league doesn't allow you to when you have someone DL'd when they aren't anymore I might leave him there until you find out where Lidge ends up, whether he stays in Houston or gets traded. If you drop any of your RP's you loose their saves for a guy who just has been a set up to this point.

I still think you have a championship team; however, I do NOT like the trade. R. Martin is a GREAT catcher which is a rare commodity. Hopefully, Johjima will give you adequate performance in that area. You did improve your starting staff; however, you have considerably weakened your pen (and there is still a chance Guardado returns and takes Weathers's job). I believe you have a GREAT TEAM which has more potential upside (if Johjima performs well); however, you are also more vulnerable now to a "late-season letdown". This is my opinion (for what it is worth). Good luck the rest of the year!
