That\'s a good idea thanks. I have to submit my protected list tomorrow at midnight.

IF you are unable to make a trade (good suggestion as you have a few top quality RPs - love Broxton this year BTW) I\'d agree that Pena would be the odd man out based on Position depth. You should be able to pick up a decent #3 option for 1B in the draft somewhere.

Good Luck

It seems I can\'t unload Pena on anyone (1b are a dime a dozen I guess) but I have someone interested in F.Rod. I could probably land Rollins from him. How does that sound to anyone?

Even better for you if you don\'t have to give up Pena!

agreed on the Pena relief factor...

the guy has been a bomber for the past two seasons - last season he had the preseason hype hurt him with his dismal 1st half performance, but for the 40% of people that dropped him and lost out on his 2nd half \"fantasy playoffs - heeere i come!\" performance he was money in the bank. i had in 3 out of 4 leagues last season witness Pena being dropped and sit on the waiver wire for days (and a few weeks for one of them) only to get swooped up once people saw that Tampa was for real last season - (sorta similar to how the Rockies players were goldmines two years ago post ASB)

pena seems at times like a guy that you want to handcuff with another bottom-of-the-draft 1b kid/vet in case he doesn\'t hammer the homers - but then put right back in the second he\'s back on the quality stats he can provide. (and by no means am i trying to overhype him in any way, just saying that i\'d rather have him on my team than a guy like Chone due to his Tampa lineup and scoring/rbi potential compared to the halo\'s)
