Considering the depth of your league those extra players he's asking for carry a fair amount of value.

I'm not sure I'd trade Butler for McCutchen straight up.

So ya, I'd decline if I were you.

Can you check out mine: viewtopic.php?t=406256

I like Rasmus and Butler a lot, but they are depth. However, just because you are tradiing "nobody's" does not mean you should get only McCutcheon back. Your lack of depth at 2nd and 3rd should be addressed so why not get a good reserve there.

Thanks for help on mine.

Maybe Rasmus beats out Bruce, Hamilton and Upton. I am having a hard time with this trade so I am looking for more than I am paying to much only because I see it as me trading 3 bench players for a starter.

But I do appreciate all the responses so far, I am just looking for more clarification.

Thanks again.


Because if your looking to offload that many good guys at least get a top flight OF and not a tier 4 guy with so-so numbers. It just seems like your making this trade for no benefit of your own.

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

yeah this is no good for you, if it wasn't a dynasty i would maybe say otherwise. but the guys you'd be giving up have the potential to have a ton of value in the upcoming years, so i wouldn't do it
