anyone?

I like the trade. I don't think Pedroia will produce like he did last year, I see Uggla being a .260 30 homer guy this year and Felix is doing amazing this year. You may have to trade one of your starting pitchers also though.

[bcbhockey68]

what starting pitcher would be good to give up?

Depends on who you favor out of your pitchers and who else you're not so high on. Guys I think you should keep are Chris Volstad and Roy Oswalt, but they may demand one of those two in return.

well don't count on uggla for average, as he's not much of an average guy and i even managed to trade for him early this year (dice-K and kaz matsui, aka the orient express, for uggla and ian stewart, the latter of whom i turned around into justin masterson who got pwnd by evan longoria and carlos pena back to back after nearly wiggling out of a bases loaded situation with only a sac fly to upton... arrrgh)

but yeah now i've got uggla and his average is underwhelming, but i've also got cantu so i've got the 4-5 hitters in the florida lineup so it's kind of weird to have it like that, but hey, i hope uggla can be penciled in for 25+/85+ especially at a spot like 2B cuz that's a position where not everyone has 20+ HRs and 80+ RBIs and yeap.


to get felix, you'd have to dangle a volstad and/or an anibal sanchez with a bigtime offensive package, especially if you're gonna go for uggla too, cuz they're going to want some sort of quality back. you don't trade a young pitcher (remember felix is 24 or 25 or something) with super mega upside for anything short of something that seems like it gives you more offense plus something else with upside. remember, they have to feel like they're getting more than they're giving you in order to make the trade work.

odds are volstad would be your main pitching chip, that is unless you wanna part with a closer like brian wilson (i dont know how young he is but it looks like this will be his 2nd year of quality closing and i reckon he's young so yeah) and you'd have to bowl 'em over... to get both in a trade you'd have to pony up... i cant even speculate what to tell you the truth... throw feelers out there, something not quite laughable but something definitely undervalue for what you'd want back, see if the guy rejects it outright or responds with a trade offer. a good way to do this is ask for two starts and offer up one of your bonafide stars with some crap. odds are if they want that star you're offering they'll make a counter offer and you can try to read their hand on what they think their players are worth.

I also like Vasquez because of his high number of K's would Maholm be enough?

[bcbhockey68]

I just looked and the guy is Stocked at pitching, but his OF is REALLY weak I could offer brad hawpe with Pedroia for those two, would that work?

[gorskidawg]

i think the hawpe trade would work more likely than the first... thanks for the help w mine

[bcbhockey68]

Should I just give up Hawpe and Choo or just Hawpe?
