Hey guys - looking to upgrade my team:

Ive been proposed

My Soriano/DLee for his Morneau/Uggla

I figure i need some upgrade at 1B and 2B - my OF is pretty good so far, any thoughts on this trade or maybe counter (he already asked for one ha)

My team:
C: B Molina
1B: DLee
2B: Alexie
3B: Zimmerman/Atkins
SS: Jose Reyes
OF: Soriano, Kemp, Justin Upton, Corey Hart
P: Liriano, Baker, Volstad, Shields, Wakefield
RP: Frank Francisco, Valerde, Downs

His team:
C: Barajas
1b: Morneau/Carlos Pena
2b: Brian Roberts/Uggla
3B: Rolen/Mora
SS: Khalil
OF: Tori Hunter, Winn, Fukodome
SP: CC, Felix, Gil Meche, Cueto, Millwood
RP: Heath Bell, Hoffmann, Nathan

Lee is toast. Morneau is a HUMUNGOUS upgrade. You win right there Uggla will start hitting soon enough and will be better than Alexei.

As long as you have someone to plug in for Soriano I reckon this is a good deal for you.

Does your league track HR or OPS? If HR Lee is going to put up little this year in that area. If OPS it makes it closer. I still like the deal but that difference in categories will make it go from slightly in your favor to larger in your favor.

help in mine? http://www.fantasybaseballcafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=384983

I'm gonna look at the deal the other way around.

I like Soriano more than Morneau

Lee and Uggla have both been horrible, but I really think Uggla is going to lose ABs.

You would be upgrading at 1B, but overall I don't see this as a help to your team since you are losing a 5 cat player in Soriano.

So my league is h2h and the guy already made it seem like i was going to counter...I know he needs an OF really bad if you see who he has (i think i can get by with Kemp,JUpton,Hart) - any thoughts on counters?
