No, you ripped him off. Longoria for Lowell and 2 closers that probably don't keep the job all year is ridiculous.

[ForumJP]

yeah dude, u COMPLETELY ripped him off.

no way lowell stays hot the whole year, and closers switch all the time.

i wish i could get that guy in my league...

[RowdyRed]

Yes, you got ripped off.

And Friesan Fire and I Want Revenge are going to finish 1-2 in the Kentucky Derby...

Wait a minute....

Come on...seriously? Two closers (and not even elite closers) plus a good but not great Lowell for a truly superb Longoria and an Aardsma that is also a potential closer...

[ssf1234]

You ripped off?! You got possibly the next great 3rd basemen of the next decade for an old 3B and two waiver pickups....

[friedrich15]

you got a steal man ....dont drop Aardsma, Morrow just hit the DL

[rmenaul]

I think it was a total "fair" deal.

BTW , would you ask your friend if he would like to join my league???


P.S. You must promise me u wont even think about trading Evan for anything less than Pujols, or Babe Ruth! plus a Closer.

Well done, but next time though ask the cafe their opinion about the trade before you commit to anything you are not sure of. Also dont ever let them pressure you to trading before checking with us. It's a tactic that screams "Run away from this trade!". I usually think on it a week before deciding on any trade between owners.

Also I think your team looks very strong my friend. Dont change too much

Any Love ,on my Holds problem, would be much appreciated:

Definitely won that deal.

[Analysis Paralysis]

All three of the guys you traded are potential waiver wire fodder, and you landed a Top-20 overall player and a short-term closer? Wow! That's a GREAT trade for you.
