NL only trade help, WHIR

Postby dday0606 » Tue Apr 21, 2009 11:27 pm

Im in an NL Ultra league and one of the other league owners has already contacted me about a dump trade and I am having some trouble figuring out how to match up a fair offer. The league is an 11-team league 5x5, $300 salary cap with the following positions: C, C, 1B, 3B, CI, 2B, SS, MI, OF, OF, OF, OF, OF, U, U U, 11 P

Here are my players he is interested in with their contracts:
Elijah Dukes: 8, 13, 13
Bill Hall, 9, 9, 9
Fowler, 10, 10

He has made the following players available:
Adrian Gonzalez: 21
Kevin Kouzmanoff: 16
Jimmy Rollins: 38
Kyle Lohse: 2
Cole Hamels: 35, 35, 35
F-Rod: 26, 26, 26

I have a pretty good team and have a chance to win it all so I'm thinking of going all-in. I have plenty of cap room, so this years salary's are irrelevant. Unfortunatley, I'm hesitant to trade Dukes without getting a ransom since he is signed so cheaply for several years.

Does anyone have any ideas to what would be a good offer for me to propse without insulting him?

You should post rosters....
I have no experience in salary leagues...but....I'd certainly like a-gonz, and f-rod at those numbers, relatively speaking. I'm sure he wants dukes for the same reasons you're loathe to give him up.

Since its such a deep league, we dont have much of a bench, mostly minor leaguers. I do have Andrew McCutheon to come up later this year

Why do you have so many useless MRP? I'd rather take my chances on a deep prospect or back end starter that has 2 starts.

Whats available, just curious?

that is a legit question, we have a deep reserve (12 each team) and all of the top prospects and all of the other starters have been drafted. The waiver wire only has other random MRP's on it.

would an offer of Hall or Fowler for Rollins be insulting? He doesnt have any use for him anymore.
