Was offered Braun for Scutaro and Mccann.

Who should I pick up though? And shouldn't I drop an OF, since I'll have 5, plus Zobrist who also has OF eligibility? So thats 2 possible FA to sign, 3 if I dump 2 OF.

Top available FAs:

Konerko, Chris Davis, Bengie Molina, Tulowitzki, Atkins, Bailey, Bourn, Kuroda, N. Johnson, Millwood, Luke Scott, Porcello, Crisp, Howell

I'd accept that in a heartbeat. Just slide Inge into the C spot. The upgrade from your weakest outfielder to Braun is greater than the downgrade from McCann to Inge.

You don't have to drop an outfielder. 5 is not too many ... that's 4 OFers in your lineup and 1 on the bench. Bench depth is something every manager has their own feelings about. If you don't like just 1 bench hitter, I'd pick a guy with 2nd half breakout potential. Someone like Tulo or Davis. I think you have enough RPs, but you could dominate the category (and help out WHIP/ERA) by picking up Bailey. There's not really any excuse for him to be a FA anymore ... he's clearly the A's closer. I like Kuroda the best of the FA SPs.

Yeah I wanted to pick up Bailey even before he became the A's closer because of his strikeouts, whip and era. Plus he has SP eligibility so I could start 5 relievers on the days when I only have 1 true starter pitching. Would be nice to trade one of my closers at some point, but its real hard to make trades in my league. And yeah Kuroda would probably be solid too, but then I would have nobody on my bench.

this is a no brainer esp. with inge's eligibility at C.

gotta take that. getting first round talent w/o giving up anyone significant

[fan of the cubs]

But what FA should I sign?

[pizzaboy76]

Agree on the trade.

Pick up Scott or Konerko. Scott is hot now, but will eventually cool off. Konerko is steady eddie.

Please help.

Great deal for you, Scutaro is a joke and will come crashing back down to earth just as Braun is cracking his 30th homer. McCann is a nice player but you can replace his stats.

Help with mine?
