I'm in a 12 team H2H Dynasty League, Normal 5x5 cats with added walks for hitters and K/BB for pitchers.

I am trying to get Jay Bruce from his owner and am thinking about offering up this trade, but I wonder if it's too much. I am VERY high on Bruce, he was the No. 1 prospect in 2008 and is improving every year. His ceiling seems through the roof.

I would give: Nelson Cruz OR Matt Holliday along with Jon Lester

For Jay Bruce

Here's my team:

My MLB Team:
C. Alex Avila
1B. Miguel Cabrera
2B. Howard Kendrick
3B. Pablo Sandoval
SS. Dee Gordon
MI. Bonifacio
CI. Paul Golfschmidt
LF. Matt Holliday
CF. Shane Victorino
RF. Giancarlo Stanton
OF. Nick Markakis
OF. Nelson Cruz
Util. Bryce Harper
Bench. Ryan Howard

SP:
Jon Lester
Cliff Lee
Zack Greinke
Anibal Sanchez
Ervin Santana
Phil Hughes
Chad Billingsley
Ricky Nolasco

RP:
Ryan Madson
Brian Wilson
Chris Peres
Huston Street
Matt Capps
Brett Myers

I am super high on Bruce as well, but I think this is a bit too much. Either ask for another piece back in return or offer a closer instead of Lester in the deal.

I think your givin a bit much there. I like bruce for your team too so its close but lester is pretty damn good too and then you adding "just" a holliday or cruz there is payin pretty big i think. Unless you feel you can replace pitching, which sometimes I try to do to, then I could see it more. I jus feel the quality bat your adding to the good/great pitcher is overweighing it to his favor a tad much.

I would try Cruz and a closer

i prefer cruz slightly to bruce and holliday much more than bruce. i think both of those trades are pretty big overpays. yes he has big power, but unless he can cut down on his strike outs his average means he doesn't have that high of a fantasy ceiling.
