He offers Ichiro Suzuki and Marco Scutaro I give Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Zimmerman This is a standard 12-team H2H Yahoo! League. My team: C - Yadier Molina' 1B - Morneau 2B - Aaron Hill 3B - Ryan Zimmerman SS - Troy Tulowitzki OF - Adam Jones, Nick Markakis, Juan Rivera Util - Billy Butler BN - Jimmy Rollins, Chone Figgins, Josh Hamilton, Nate McLouth SP - Joba Chamberlain, Matt Garza RP - Francisco Rodriguez, Bobby Jenks P - Rafael Soriano, Adam Wainwright, Chad Qualls BN - Frank Francisco
His team: C - Sandoval 1B - Mark Texeira 2B - Scutaro 3B - Branyan SS - Gordon Beckham OF - Soriano, Vladimir Guerrero, Ichiro Util - Raul Ibanez BN -Willingham, Asdrubal Cabrera SP - Happ, Pedro Martinez (o.0) RP - Hoffman, Capps P - Tommy Hunter, Neftali Feliz, Mat Latos BN - Tommy Hanson, Wandy, Randy Wells
As you guys may have noticed, I have two top SS, which is not bad, but it takes some space and I got room to improve on the OF (i think). Any ideas? Thanks in advance
Interesting offer, but I think you'd be thin at 3B without Zimm -- my suggestion is you try to pry Beckham away from him in this deal, since he qualifies at 3B. If you can add Beckham to the deal and throw in someone like McLouth, I'd do the deal.

Ichiro has a history of not really stealing many bases in September when the team is out of the race ... whereas Zimm has been crushing it and Rollins (finally) is playing well.
definitely no for the first trade, and i dunno how people can think that Beckham and Zimmerman are equal, you essentially give up the 2 best players in the trade, and don't get enough upgrades elsewhere to make up for the loss... Ichiro bats for a good average, but so does Zimmerman so what would you be gaining? Rollins has good SB totals, Beckham will get you a couple but not enough value... i look at it like this...
Rollins>=Ichiro (give Rollins a slight edge because of position, but equalled out a bit because of Ichiro's higher average) McClouth/Zimmerman>>>Beckham/Scutaro...
