I recently traded Zobrist for Choo (had 2B and SS covered with Figgins and Hanley). I don't know what to think about Zobrist (I'm keeping him in my other leagues), but I took a gamble that he's a sell high, at least more of a sell high than Choo. :-?

Anyone thing Adrian Gonzalez is a good buy low right now? He's not hitting worth a lick and his average is down below .250 now. I was thinking about offering Adam Dunn for him in a keeper league.

Is Brian Roberts a sell high? He has historically dropped off significantly in the second half and is now on the wrong side of 30, which is bad for a speedster.

To your point above, I would absolutely love to get AGon for Adam Dunn.

Sell high on Bell and Sherrill. Forbes.com thinks they're getting traded:

Indeed, buy low! If you can get him for Dunn I think that is good, but you may want to start lower. Especially if he is in the playoff hunt and needs a guy to put him over the top.

Yes, A-Gon will eventually go to another team where he will absolutely rake.

Right now off the top of my head. My favorite sell High is Troy Tulo
and my Buy low is David Price. Also to note that Carlos Zambrano has been going very late in ESPN mock drafts LIKE LAST ROUND late.

you saying sell high on Tulo because you believe he will fall off or that his value is just too darn high for a ss as is?

Absolutly, Adrian is going to be just fine. I would be shocked if any owner would trade you Gonzalez for Dunn straight up in a keeper league, but it doesn't hurt to try.
