Very nice trade. You gave up the best player now, but got the best player a year from now and added some nice pieces. Way to go!

Thanks for the help on mine.

Thanks for your help with mine.

Good job with the trade...getting Delgado along with Lee and Bruce definitely doesnt hurt. Good luck!!!

I think my pitching rotation is gonna be insane for a 14 team league: Peavy, Billingsley, Shields, Kazmir, Verlander, C Lee.

As much as I think Ellsbury is going to be a stud, this was a great trade for you.

Bruce, lee, and delgado is great value.

thanks for helping on mine

I think in the long run bruce will be the better player... will have more pop without losing too many SB.... to think u got lee and delgado with it is just a steal

Great Trade. I voted for Ellsbury based upon the here and now. Bruce will be a Stud, but these things can take a while (see Gordon, Alex). so for this year, Ellsbury projects better, but Bruce is the future, and you done good getting him.

I'd take Bruce. I would rather have the more all-around guy than the more specialty guy. I think both will be good players for many years to come, but I'd want Bruce.

i agree... great trade for you. i would have probably done a one on one deal, b/c i really like bruce. but good news for you: the other guy threw in extras. nice job!

thanks for helping with mine.
