I was offered Sabathia for Bay, but he said he would take Pena, Berkman, Utley, or Wright. I am leaning towards Pena because I feel Berkman is coming out of his early season funk and I can replace him with Sandoval and not really miss a step. I think without Bay my outfield becomes a little week. Utley and Wright are definite have a no trade clause built into their fantasy contracts. What do you guys think of this deal?

btw, I'm in a 10 team CBS head-to-head league and the way the league is scored you really have to have the best pitching staff in order to win. I already have the best pitching staff in the league, but Sabathia would secure that position especially if one of them gets hurt.

I would do Pena no question. Pena will fall and Sabathia would be a good way to secure your already great pitching staff. You won't miss much with putting Sandoval in either, he is having a good year and I think he can keep it up.

Help with mine? Im hoping to make a trade today: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=392359

I wish I could get CC for Pena. Give him Pena in a hearbeat.

I think Pena will hit more hrs and their averages will be closer then many think.Slight edge to Bay. Bay is a .270 hitter and has come back to earth. Look at last night. 5 K's in 5 at bats. But if your outfield will be weaker sounds like you need to do Pena.

Definitely trade Pena, don't get rid of Berkman...I think he is going to have a much better "Berkman" like second half.

Plus you get the occasional steal with him.
