Default So I just got an offer...

Team in sig.

I'm moving King Felix and Grady Sizmore

In return, I recieve

Justin Morneau, and Andre Eithier.

I think I may be losing a pick too. The deal is not finalized but its looking like I'd move anything from a 2nd-4th.

I'm SERIOUSLY hurting in my hitting department, however, Felix has been my only consistent pitcher. He was one of my keepers so that could be why I'm hesitant to pull the trigger. But going 0-2 in the more dominant division in my league, and showing no signs of hitting in two weeks, I feel somethings gotta happen.

Thoughts?

Don't do it!

Both your players should have more value.

Morales to Morneau isn't an upgrade.

Really? I'm not moving Morales....

I absolutely can't stand Sizemore. He's done nothing but strikeout and get injured for me in the past two years.

Eithier is a beast, and I have no 30+ HR guys other than Longoria.

I have Johnathon O. Sanchez who I feel will be a stud by the end of the year...I don't know.

Still on the fence, would love to hear more input

Dude, seriously, why don't you try sizemore for ethier straight up? Bet he does it.

Morneau vs morales...as in you already have morales. King felix has the chance to be one of the best in the game.

I'm on the fence about trading cole hammels and Alfonso soriano for Juston Upton. should I be?

I'll try it, but I bet he doesn't. We started our league last year and Sizemore, coming off his only big year, got hurt, and has started slow this year. He has a man-crush on Eithier, and really needs arms, which is why he wants King Felix. I am personally sick of Sizemore and can't wait to move him. However, I don't want to move him for less than what he's worth obviously. As for my rationale on trading Felix. I have a ton of established arms, but NO bats.

My Arms - GREINKE, KING FELIX (1-2 in AL Cy Young Voting), Tommy "Don't Say John" Hanson (NL Rookie of Year candidate)...with J.O Sanchez (Possible KO' King by end of year), Tim Hudson, and Rick Porcello as the ever changing 4th starter in my rotation.

My bats though, if you look at them aren't so strong. If I can't compete, I need to move an arm to get a bat. I won't keep my big three, so I figure I'll eventually end up moving one by years end.

That being said, I won't move an arm for lack of value, so I'll probably hold off for now.

But MAN is my team struggling at the dish. There is no way I can compete until I get a big name bat or Sizemore finally wakes the hell up! haha.

I replied to your thread. Its a tough call, but check out my food for thought.

I don't see why you would have to include king felix. Try to include one of your lesser pitchers then with Grady....I just don't think you should move King Felix for what your getting alone.
But thats me.
Whats available on the wire? gotta be better than B Wood. You can't keep him no matter what...time to move on.

Slim pickings on the waiver wire, but I've got claims on guys to move both Towles and Wood off of my roster.

Thanks for the advice, I'll hang on a little longer.
