I would pass. Maybe if I was more concerned about Arod's long term health but I'm not.

Agreed. It feels like trading A-Rod for the sake of trading A-Rod (or a panic move). Regardless of who the 2nd player is in the deal, I don't see them cracking your lineup. Your startering position players are good enough that quality is more important than quantity. You can survive a month without A-Rod.

Do you mean the league ends after three years, or you only get to keep guys for three years?

Bruce + Longoria makes me pause. Heavily. If you could weasel more out of him (prospects or picks), I might do this.

In a full dynasty, this isn't a bad idea.

If you have 5 keepers or something short like that, don't do it.

Yes its only a 3 year keeper year 2, after next year will be a complete re-draft

I think I am not totally clear on the rules of your keeper, but Longoria and Bruce is a decent offer if you are still scared about A-Rod.

I think the selling frenzy on A-Rod has cooled off a bit. The latest seems to be that he will be back at some point in May and has a 85-90% chance of finishing the season fine and then have the surgery and comeback 100% next year. Especially in a keeper I would feel confident not trading A-Rod for anything but close to top dollar again.

Edit - By your keeper rules keep A-Rod no doubt.

Turn this down with a big .

[Johnny Tuttle]

Then, I pass.

What's the point of building for a future that will never come? You'd be the Vancouver Grizzlies of fantasy baseball. With this rule, Johnny Damon's nearly Jay Bruce.

I'd make trades for older folks to see who's forgotten that wrinkle. What do you care that Derek Lowe is 70?
