Trade help, I need a closer.. your opinion

[pjalst]

I'm in a 15 team, 5X5, deep, Dynasty league. I put Alex Rios on the block for a closer or a Young SP with upside. I was offered Lidge in return. Not a bad deal if Lidge can get his act together, but I'm not sure he will. I will post the other teams roster, maybe something else can be worked out. Any help or opinions are appreciated.

You could really use a closer but Lidge is not worth a young, stud OF like Rios, especially in a dynasty league. Try shopping some of your older OFs for a closer instead.

Help?

He also offered my Danks instead of Lidge, Other than whats on paper I don't know much about Danks. Is that a better offer?

[Padres Fan]

Danks is a #3 or 4 SP at best, and not worth Rios, since you are in a dynasty league Dye should be able to a closer like Soria nd a sp similar to Danks. In thie case of his team Dye for Frank Francisco and either Jon Lester or Francisco Liriano (2 stud pitchers having a rough go currently), both should be fantasy stars and Francisco is a great closer.


help with mine?

I offered Dye for Closers like Rivera,Soria,Qualls and Jenks. No one is biting. One team responded that Dye is too old(this is a dynasty) seems like everyone is looking for youth. Maybe I can get Hoffman for him
