I don't really need it, but I have 6 OF battling for 4 spots
Adam Jones, Justin Upton are in their breakout year, but they won't get much in return because they don't have very high rank
Brad Hawpe is having a career year with bad rank so he also won't get much in return.
I will definitely be ripped off if I trade them for some low tier closers.
Jay Bruce is having an ugly AVG, but his power is for real, and I believe his AVG will go up.
If his AVG goes up, he will be an elite OF with his elite power.
That leaves me Carl Crawford and Matt Kemp to trade.
They have highest rank and will get most in return from some dumb players who only look at the ranks.
Carl Crawford is too good to be traded, so Kemp looks to be the best candidate.
The only spot I need other than CL is 3B.
I am using Branyan at that spot.
Although he is doing very well, I expect him to bat no more than 0.260 at the season end, because he is having way too high BABIP.
However, to get a better-than-Branyan 3B isn't that easy.
I think only Miguel Cabrera, A-rod, Longoria, and Zimmerman are undoubtedly better.
But they are very hard to trade even with Crawford+something package.
I think Matt Kemp for Zimmerman will probably be accepted, but the Zimmerman owner isn't very active...
And I am not very sure if Zimmerman worths me Kemp.
