Trade FELIZ or SCHERZER to get Michael Young... My goal with time if to flip Napoli or Young for my pitching but of higher calibre.... Thoughts????? I am leaning more to SCHERZER but still debating my place at this bartering table. Young could potentially get me back up position for great offense.... Looks like I have Ellsbury hurt. I do have Jesus as a bat.

I would trade either for Young straight up, assuming Young's contract expires in 2014 or later. I would rather trade Scherzer, but have no probs trading Feliz here.
Mad max slipped last year and looks to be off to another bad start this year. he tries to throw too hard and ens up throwing too many pitches. Getting him to the 5th or 6th inning is a struggle. I had him last year and will never own him again. at least until or if he ever harnesses his control.
Maybe I'm wrong... I don't see someone trading either of those guys for M. Young. Is there something I'm missing? You're team is pretty stacked and if the other teams are anywhere near what yours is I don't see the need to give up Young for either of those players.
Package Napoli with a pitcher and get yourself a top 5 pitcher. As good as lincecum has been... I think his time is up... Never liked his mechanics, he is not gonna get stronger, only weaker. He was a 'freak' of nature pitcher for a couple years, but cracks are beginning to show in his pitching. Lower velocity and we all saw some of his starts last season, not to mention this season. Even the giants know he will never be that dominant Ace he used to be. They put all their chips in with Matt Cain( solid mechanics, doesn't get hurt, built strong) he is their true ace. Trade Napoli( 2011 was a career year, wont put up numbers like that again) and lincecum, while they have some leverage, and get yourself someone REALLy good!
You're not going to fill your needs with Young, though I like him, but you can't expect to get all stats back when losing Ellsbury. Slide Bruce into the OF spot and you can fill your Uti with anything. With Young you'll lose SB and a few HR, but your other stats should be solid. I'd look to move Scherzer if you can. Thanks for helping me out.
