Rookie needs help!

Postby Adrenalized » Wed May 06, 2009 7:51 pm

Hi, I am a relative rookie to fantasy baseball. I play in a 10 team total bases league. 1 point for single, 2 for double etc. etc. etc.
No defense or pitching, so it is a basic beginner league. My starting line-up consists of Pujols, Alexei Ramirez, Chipper Jones, Tulowitzki, Benji Molina and Manny, Carlos Quentin and Lind/Pence in the outfield.
Backups are Garrett Atkins 1b and 3b, Placido Polanco at 2b, Luke Scott and Rick Ankiel in the OF with Shoppach at C.
I was offered a trade recently. Alex Rodriguez and Tori Hunter for Hunter Pence and Manny Ramirez.
I would like to re-offer A-rod and Hunter for Atkins and Manny. Am I a fool? Any ideas or comments? Thanks!

You should be able to get a better 2nd player then Atkins for who you're giving up. A-Rod's pretty much back to full value at this point, which means he's an early 1st round pick.

My mistake. I like the trade for you then. Do it. A-Rod > Manny AND Hunter > Atkins.

Thanks for the reply. Sometimes it just helps to have that second opinion.
Great site btw!
