So, here's the deal. I am in a 12-team, 25-man roster (plus 15 more in a supplemental draft), $280 salary cap league (OBP instead of AVG). Sorry for the marathon post, just trying to think out loud.
I have been offered the following deal:
$39 David Wright (due extension. So basically one year)
$19 Ted Lilly (due extension. So basically one year).
$2 Jerry Hairston (first year. Whatever, just a throw in, probably won't be kept)
for
$10 Mat Latos (expiring after 2012).
Last year was the first year we had 12 teams and the inflation on hitting was intense (Pujols went for $66, Prince for $63, Hanley for $61, Kemp $54, Holliday $49, for example), while the pitching was about where it normally was (Halladay was the most expensive pitcher and he went $39, with Cliff Lee a close second at $37). So, I think Wright at $39 has some considerable value, especially with the fences coming in. Hairston I probably wouldn't keep, and Lilly is decent, but probably just at value.
Latos is certainly a great value at $10 and I'm hesitant to part with him, but I could see something being there, especially given my possible keepers (see below). Other cheap guys he has on his roster that might make for sweeteners or in place of Lilly are: $3 Angel Pagan (due extension); $1 Juan Francisco (first year); $1 Kyle Blanks (first year); $2 David Hernandez (first year); $3 Fernado Salas (first year).
Here are players currently on my roster that could potentially be keepers (granted, many of them will ultimately be cut, but this gives you an idea of the composition of my roster):
Ronny Paulino- $1 (first year)
Josh Thole- $6 (due extension)
Joey Votto- $20 (through 2013)
Ruben Tejada- $1 (first year)
Paul Goldschmidt- $5 (first year)
Ryan Braun- $20 (last year)
Jesus Guzman- $3 (first year)
Juan Rivera- $8 (first year)
Drew Stubbs- $10 (last year)
Adam LaRoche- $16 (first year)
Freddy Sanchez- $2 (first year)
Evereth Cabrera- $1 (first year)
Tommy Hanson- $15 (through 2013)
Mat Latos- $10 (last year)
Madison Bumgarner- $2 (due extension)
Pedro Beato- $1 (first year)
Matt Belisle- $1 (first year)
Bobby Parnell- $1 (first year)
Jeff Samardzija- $2 (first year)
Kris Medlen- $2 (first year)
Dustin Moseley- $6 (first year)
Edinson Volquez- $7 (due extension)
Eric Surkamp- $1 (first year)
