giving up way to much for markasis....

bruce is a pretty good OF all be it streaky... but hes probably gonna hit more hr and rbis then markasis will

then you add in what possibly could be damn good year for a pitcher in liriano... hes been off to a tremendous start and all signs point towards a great year like in 06 for liriano...

way to much just for a markasis.. maybe try for a higher tier OF

I'm sure you could get more than that for Liriano and Bruce, IMO. Liriano's probably going to cool down, but he'll still be a pretty good option on any fantasy staff, and Bruce, as DoctaDre said, is streaky but overall can provide some good value, especially in the power categories. Markakis isn't an elite option, just a very good one, so if I were you I'd ask for more.

Markakis is solid, but I feel like you could pull more with Liriano right now. Dude is pitching lights out.

I would probably stick to the Liriano/Bruce side. I'd say Liriano's value alone could get you a Werth or basically a high-end OF if you play your cards right. Markakis is an OK return, but I also think you're losing the most upside.

I would stay put. Giving up way too much for Markakis. If you really want him you should be able to get him straight up for Liriano.
