You also have Billy Baseball! Good pick up. As for Branyan (A career .233 hitter %-6 ), I'd target a #3 SP. Try offering him for

Ricky Nolasco ;-D
Jered Weaver
Clayton Kershaw
Jair Jurrjens
Koji Uehara

I agree that another SP would be the way to go, but in all honesty, it would be hard to say without knowing who might be available. Throw some names out there and we can rate/rank them

thanks for helping with mine too

I like the Nolasco, Jurrjens idea.

Slowey may also be someone to target.

Mine if you can?

i'd try to throw in buehrle and get a pitcher with more k upside in return...jurrjens seems like a unanimous one. maybe even volstad, i see him getting a lot of wins this year and his k numbers have been pretty solid.

How about this deal......Branyan/Slowey for Hart/Jurjjens? The same guy also has Justin Upton, who would you want Upton or Hart?

*THE OTHER OWNER TURNED THIS DEAL DOWN, DOESN'T WANT BRANYAN*

I like the Hart/JJ deal, and I prefer Hart to Upton. Everybody thought JJ would regress this year to what they think his talents are. I watch nearly every one of his starts, and this guy is a low-end 1, high 2. He's not a middle of the rotation guy like other people seem to think.

Thanks for the help with mine.
