Prospect Trade.

[papavayne]

Hello everyone, I'm trying to acquire three prospects (trying to get all three If I can), these prospects are:

Jerry Sands
José Tabata
J.D. Martinez.

The other owner said he was willing to trade them, and that he needed starting pitchers, so my question is, who could I trade to obtain one of them (preferred If I can get all three) with out giving to much. This is my third year playing fantasy baseball, but my first time playing in a keepers league, so I'm new to how prospect numbers translate, and how well of a MLB player to give up for some prospects.So here's my list of pitchers:

Bailey, Andrew
Balfour, Grant
Carpenter, Chris
Harrison, Matt
Hellickson, Jeremy
Lester, Jon
Moore, Matt
Nathan, Joe
Wilson, C.J.

Bench
Baker, Scott
Billingsley, Chad

So who should I trade to obtain those players? Thanks for reading, and sorry for the long post, thanks.

Moore should net all three, but he's quite a chip. Hellickson could net at least two if the guy likes name value. You could try to pump him up, though, considering he was highly touted not too long ago. I would try Hellickson first for all three, then whittle it down to two if need be.

How many teams?
JD is the only one i like.
Try Harrison

14 teams, your'e not interested in Sands, he's hit 35, and 29 homers the past 2 seasons, and he's only 24, what about Brett Jackson? I wouldn't mind giving up Hellickson, but does anyone really think I could get at least two for Harrison, as I would rather keep Hellickson, unless I could get J.D, Sands, and Jackson/Tabata, thanks.

I think you could at least get two for Hellickson. I would ask for all 3 for him and go from there. You could always trade Moore for all 3 but I'd rather keep Moore in that situation. I wouldn't trade more than one for Harrison if I were the other guy but you might be able to get two if the other guy is that desperate.

If you could move one of your closers for a couple of them, that is they way I would go. I think Hellickson is still a pretty good pitcher so i wouldn't trade him for a bunch of maybe prospects.

[papavayne]

Thanks MaudDib, but he has 2 pitchers that have a definite role as closing, but 3 other pitchers that are setup men who could be closers, so he only has 2-3 starters which is why he probably wouldn't take a closer, but thanks for the reply.

I would target JD as well. The others are decent, but JD could be a very nice get for you as soon as this season. I would deal Harrison, Billingsley or Baker for him in a heartbeat.
