I am in desperate need of wins and i am in good shape everywhere else...
Im currently in 3rd place and 8pts out of 1st
This guy has been making bid after bid wanted Joe Mauer offering crap like Tom GLavine and someone or Jeff Francis and someone
I would have taken Pedro straight up and when i threw Pedro out he wanted K-Rod
So heres the lastest offer on the table
I get Felix Hernandez-CC Sabathia and Brian Mcann
I give Ted Lilly-K-ROd-J.Mauer

Im torn and would love to add those 2 starters but this guy and i are neck and neck at the top in saves so by him getting K-Rod pretty much gives him the points edge in saves
Mauers BA is dropping and i think will finish around .333
Lilly is on the sinking ship in Toronto
Im leaning towards it but im kicking the tires around the league to see if i can get a better deal

Jeff Francis for Mauer sounded like a great deal. Francis has a great arm and will be great for a while.

If you don't need the saves, then you should take the deal. It's a really close deal and there is no winner in this one. Post your entire roster and it'll be easier to judge the trade.

I would not do that deal. Hernandez and Sabathia are way to inconsistent. Your giving up the best two players in K-Rod and Mauer.

not a keeper league...

Ive decided to just post in the league message board seeking a SP for Mauer or K-Rod so hopefully ill land some better value for these guys

Exactly. K-rod is a top closer. Mauer is by far the best catcher in fantasy baseball. All you're getting back is mediocrity. And I'm not sold on McCann.

I ended up making a deal where i picked up Pedro Martinez and Brian Mcann for Joe Mauer and Adam Dunn...maybe not the best move ive made but im near the bottom in wins and bring in an ace is very important
Dunn has brought his average up from .225 to 260 in the last few weeks and while im losing the HRs but his average will likely drop back down
I added Frank Thomas off waivers for Fernando Rodney to help replace the power i lost
My Team now
C Mcann
1B Sexson
2B Cantu
3B Atkins
SS Jeter
OF Crawford
OF Griffey Jr
OF Tracy
DH Thomas
B Crede
B may pick up Bonds for someone(Lilly or Sheets if hes DL'd)
SP Pedro-Schilling-Hudson-Peavy-Sheets-Myers-Lilly
RP K-Rod-Dempster-Putz-Julio

If i had even a halfway decent year from Peavy or Hudson id be all set IMO

Joe Mauer is one of the best fantasy players to have, I dont know if I would have given him up
