Trying to get Lester

Postby login » Wed Mar 31, 2010 7:06 pm

I have a gluttony of OF so I'm thinking of offering Jason Bay/Strasburg for Jon Lester. Would this be a fair offer for an owner who values him highly (drafted him 21st overall)? If not, what can I offer for Lester?

If he drafted him 21st overall... I don't think Bay/Strasburg cuts it. It is worth offerring it to him - but don't hold your breath.

He clearly over-values him, why not try buying low on someone instead of getting in to a situation where you overpay?

Where did Beckett go in your draft? I would try offering the same deal for Beckett.

forgetting the number of teams for a minute and looking at your team your stacked! then i think 10 team league. i find it hard to value based on 10 team league because ive never played in one.
if he values Lester that high i dont think your offer is good enough, but you could always start with that. i have no idea what Strasberg's numbers are in spring training or wheather he will start the season with Washington, but im not that high on him for this season because even though he has so much potential he still has never even faced anyone in the minors.. but you can try and sell Strasberg on having so much potential that even at his age and inexperience he could be one in a million to have great numbers as a rookie. worst case he rejects.
would you offer Upton?

help?
