I traded F-Her and Pence for Alex Rios and Kirudo?

How did I do?

I'm confused because you posted a lineup and said the opposite on the rest of your message, but the Pence-Felix end of the trade is slightly better.

Help me?

Pence and Felix are both better than Rios and Kuroda. So this one isn't so good.

[quimmy]

sorry, that was my lineup b4 the trade.

[quimmy]

que paso? u like pence better than rios? can you please explain that?

[buckfoston07]

Yeah, not so good. I like Rios and everything, but Pence isnt a bad replacement and Felix is a stud.

[buckfoston07]

and there's no way i like pence better then rios, i think that guy may be drunk

[quimmy]

is felix really that much of a stud that you wouldn't move him for a possible 25/30 guy? i like f-her as much as the next guy but he has a little bit of an injury history and has proven to be inconsistent, no? plus, how many wins can I expect out of him this year? 10-12? i will def miss the k's no doubt but i really believe that someone like maholm has a shot at providing equal value at whip and era as f-her, minus the k's. he might even match him in wins.

[dave knight]

Rios is too inconsistent; one year he hits 25 home runs, the next he hits 15 but his stolen base total doubles. Plus he is in one of the worst linueps in the majors and not very many RBI and runs are there. Pence is batting in front of Carlos Lee and Lance Berkman and so should score a lot of runs, and have more power, with 15 SB.

[buckfoston07]

I think there is way too much hype on Rios, he gets hurt every year. He doesn't know whether he wants to hit homeruns or steal bases. I just traded away Rios.
