5x5 NL only keeper 12 teams $260 budget.

Who do you like better for this year and next?

Ivan DeJesus Jr. $1a or Roger Bernadina $10a. Salaries do not count for this year.

I need to target one of these for one of my MI.

Thanks in advance.

I have Tyler Greene on my bench. He is offering DeJesus, Conrad, Frieri, Affeldt or Mayberry. He also has Bernadina (didn't offer) I think I might like Bernadina better for this year. I don't really care for the pitchers or the other players.

He also said I could pick two from the above list if I would trade Carroll, or Betancourt. I don't like that idea at all.

I am trying to compete for this year. I have two holes in my OF in Scott Hairston and Reed Johnson. So I thought Bernadina might be an upgrade later in the year. I also think DeJesus might work for the future either for my team or as a trade chip.

I don't think DeJesus will get very much playing time this year, barring significant injury to Furcal or Uribe or Blake. Bernadina is the better play for this year but I like DeJesus better for the long term.

Furcal seems to be made of glass. Would DeJesus get the time if Furcal goes down?

DeJesus will have to show a lot more than he did in his brief time with the Dodgers - he was 0-7 with 5 K's and looked completely overmatched. He hasn't shown a whole lot since he broke his leg a couple years ago, but there's still the talent for him to hit for a pretty good average while stealing 15 bases.

Bernadina offers more overall upside due to his speed, but he also plays a less talent-scarce position. I'd say if you're looking for this year then definitely go with Bernadina, but if you would rather sit on a lottery ticket (one with a very small jackpot, mind you) then go with DeJesus and hope he can get back to his pre-injury levels.

Well that didn't take long.

The other owner didn't respond to my offer. Maybe he is thinking of keeping DeJesus now?

[Gregg]

Thanks.

He doesn't want to trade Bernadina and he is now asking for Carroll or Betancourt. I will be passing.
