12 Team Yahoo, Standard 5x5 Roto Redraft League. I'd like to trade Ortiz for an OF or SP of equal value but who should I target?
Here is my current roster:
C: V. Martinez, J. Posada 1B: A. Dunn, V. Martinez, G. Atkins 2B: C. Utley, K. Matsui SS: J. Peralta 3B: G. Atkins, K. Kouzmanoff, T. Wigginton, M. Lowell UT: D. Ortiz OF: R. Braun, H. Pence, J. Pierre, T. Wigginton, A. Dunn
SP: J. Lester, M. Scherzer, T. Lilly, J. Weaver, J. Duchscherer, W. Rodriguez, P. Maholm RP: J. Valverde, J. Hanrahan, M. Scherzer, JJ Putz

ok can just about garentee you won't stand a chance of getting heck any 3 of those OF, CC, Webb or Hamels... you might have a SHOT at Beckett or Haren, but odds are thats a bad option also...
this is what id say: OF- Vlad, Granderson, Rios, Ellsbury, maybe Ichiro SP- Lakcey, King Felix, Santana, Harden, like i say maybe Beckett, but i wouldn't think the owner of Haren would do that straight up...
I know hes ranked 32nd overall by yahoo (i never go by those ranks but many people do) but hes now 34 and has some injury woes, not to mention i don't know about your league but in mine hes a UTIL only player, doesn't even carry the 1B tag anymore which also drops his value...
If you don't think you'd get my first set of players, I'd try Hart, McLouth (two very underrated players), after that maybe Ellsbury, Granderson, and Chad Billingsley or Ricky Nolasco in the pitching side. It depends on what the perceived value for Ortiz is in your league. Is he a power hitter or a broken down has been to them
You may not like to hear it but Ortiz probably equates to McLouth, Hart, Rios, or lower Ethier/Ludwick. For SPs Beckett jumps out at me, Liriano?, Felix. Or Shields, Kazmir even.
I'd be packaging Ortiz with one of your leftover 3b/1b/c.
I'd offer Martinez, Peralta, and Ortiz for a small upgrade at SS (Drew), stud consistant OF (maybe go after Beltran), and an upside SP I'd shoot for Parra (whos on his way up this year).
Post some ww players and other rosters that have interest in some of your guys. Your team has a lot of holes in it.
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!
