Should I trade Ike for Nolasco? I have Aviles who will have 3rd eligibility in a couple weeks that could replace him at corner for me and I don't think losing Ike will kill my offense or anything. Nolasco could be good depth for my rotation since you never know how long Bedard is gonna hold up and if Baker struggles he could get yanked for Slowey (although I think he'll be fine) and Kuroda doesn't excite me at all. Leave a link and I got u right back.

Is Morse not eligible at 1B in ESPN leagues? He is in Yahoo, which would make him a good replacement at CI.

To the deal itself, I think it's fine. In my mind, it isn't a one sided deal, but I like Nolasco a bit more than Davis in terms of overall value.

I am also liking Nolasco a little more than Ike. Do it.

No, Morse doesn't have eligibility at first unfortunately.

Anymore thoughts...?

Tough one... I think Ike is gonna break out this year, but Nolasco would make an awfully nice 5th starter. I say with all things being fairly equal, load up on the pitching, especially with those question marks at the back end of your rotation. Go for it!

Thanks for helping with mine.
