It's an 8-team head-to-head league...I focused on a strong offense during the draft and was left with adequate pitching. Another team (with an abundance of great pitching) has offered me Greinke for my Braun. I feel like I am getting the short end of the stick only slightly...but maybe not. Just need some guidance to see if this would be an even trade. I am including other offers that I am considering making to him.

My team and his is below...

Offer #1: BRAUN for GREINKE
Offer #2: BRAUN/J.CHAMBERLAIN for GREINKE/T.HUNTER or A.McCUTCHEN or C.GONZALEZ or J.BRUCE
Offer #3: BRAUN/BILLINGSLY/CHAMBERLAIN for GREINKE/CARPENTER

Kemp/Holliday/Hunter/McCutchen/Bruce/Gonzalez/Beltran

Greinke/Carpenter/Gallardo/Jimenez/Sanchez/Liriano
Thornton/Betancourt/Gregerson/Mijares

I would never do Braun for Greinke straight up, so I don't like Trade 1. I also don't love Trade 3 as I don't see you getting enough back.

Trade 2, where you improve on Joba makes more sense. I still would have a hard time trading a stud like Braun, even for a top SP. SP are so much more unpredictible in fantasy.

I would never give up Braun for ZG straight up either.

I think trade 3 is the best option you have.

Billingsly is a good pitcher but in fantasy 8 team league he is like a 3rd/4th tier pitcher. Chamberlin is junk and you can find WW pitchers who will give you more than him.

Trade 3 is basically Braun and a 4th tier pitcher for two 1st tier pitchers.

I still dont think I do the deal though, Braun is that much of a fantasy monster

no to all

I lean toward no to all -- would rather cobble together a decent pitching staff from guys who emerge as good, and keep the beastly outfielder...

2 is best of the options though.
