AL trade help please.

[Gregg]

AL only 5x5 $260 budget deep keeper 12 team can keep 15 plus 3 prospects. High inflation.


Which side do you prefer?

Daric Barton 4x or Gio Gonzalez 5x? Both can be played out at their salaries or both can be signed from 1, 2, or 3 year extensions at $5 per year. I assume both would be given a year.

I think I go Gio. He is a nice K source.

According to Evan Brunell of ESPN, Daric Barton is one of the best first-basemen in the game...

Would that be real baseball or fantasy?

That would be fantasy...the writers fantasy. I couldn't give a rip about a slick fielding 1st baseman with a great eye. I need power at the corner positions.

[Rush]

Gonzalez - pitchers park, good K's

[chancellor]

Unless it's an OBP league, Gio going away, IMO.

Another vote for Gio.

[Grinch]

In this case I have no doubt........

another vote for Gio
