Buy Low/Sell High Thread

[kaiser]

Alex Rios is finally showing some signs of life. He's 7/18 over his last five games with 2 hr's and 5 rbis. BABIP for the season is still just .218 and he's striking out at the lowest rate in his career, so hopefully this is a turning point for him.

If Alex Rios has taught us anything, it is that nothing good will last with him. I dropped him last week. I'm done with that clown. He can be someone else's problem.

We don't need more stickies and it seems to stay on top fairly well.

Joyce's shoulder just destroyed his trade value. He is in an awful slump and I prefer starting Uggla instead of him. He's at least showing signs of life with some recent HR's.

Just traded Weaver/Baker for Hanley. My MIs suck (Aybar, Nishioka, Lowrie, Uribe, etc) and I have tons of pitching. Seemed like a no-brainer to accept but this year it's hard to know what to expect out of Hanley so I might end up regretting it.

I'm still happy about my Dunn/Oswalt for Konerko trade. Seems that Oswalt is DL bound and Dunn doesn't like DH'ing

So is Jordan Zimmerman on an innings count? This article from before the season suggests he is, yet they continue to put him out there for what would seem like extra innings (today for example he probably should have been taken out in the 6th). Should he be traded now? What value should one expect?

I'm interested in this as well - will he be held back in September due to innings? It will make a big difference on whether or not I hold onto him for a playoff run.

Leagues where lineups are set weekly: Jon Lester Sell High.

His starts will be limited come fantasy playoff time to try and rest his arm for the postseason.

In my weekly league I was considering packaging Lester with Billy Butler for Adrian Gonzalez and Ubaldo Jimenez (buy low). A bit scary at this juncture but could prove to be a responsible move later on.

Nobody in their right mind would take that deal.

Grady Sizemore is he worth trading for?
