I have a tempting trade on the table in my AL-only auction keeper league.
I get: Ellsbury ($5) and Fuentes ($25)
He gets: Torii Hunter ($20) and Porcello ($5)
(all the players but Ellsbury are eligible as keepers, I would automatically lose Ellsbury at the end of the season due to our league's contract rules)
I'm 6th in the 12-team league and taking a "go for it" attitude this year after rebuilding last season. It's a 6x5 league that uses OBP. Here's my team with dollar values (I'm second last in BA and OBP):
Olivo, Miguel C KC 1
Teagarden, Taylor C TEX 1
Teixeira, Mark 1B NYY 35
Ramirez, Alexei 2B CHW 10
Aviles, Mike SS KC 10
Longoria, Evan 3B TB 5
Lillibridge, Brent SS CHW 10 (injury cover for Mark Ellis $2)
Beltre, Adrian 3B SEA 20
Abreu, Bobby RF ANA 26
Choo, Shin-Soo RF CLE 8
Hunter, Torii CF ANA 20
Scott, Luke LF BAL 5
Snider, Travis OF 5
Guillen, Carlos 3B DET 13 (DL, will be covered)
Arredondo, Jose RP ANA 1
Balfour, Grant RP TB 3
Chamberlain, Joba SP NYY 19
Lee, Cliff SP CLE 2
Papelbon, Jonathan RP BOS 32
Porcello, Rick SP DET 5
Purcey, David SP TOR 10 (minors, will be covered)
Sonnanstine, Andy SP TB 6
Verlander, Justin SP DET 18
