Originally posted by virgonomic View PostGood call, although with a 5 player bench (and VMart on the DL) I have 4 starters whom I'm rotating plus one bat - not much room. I'm rostering Chapman but may cut him loose since he's nothing but a good source of Ks.

I've had a strong few weeks and am I currently kicking around 3rd to 5th about 15-18 points out of first. I currently have seven closers and would like to trade one or two for an offensive upgrade but haven't had much luck yet. I am in first place in saves with an 11 save lead over second place and a 34 save lead over third place. Part of the problem is that I have a hard time gauging what a fair deal is. I put an email to the league but people aren't that aggressive in these leagues.
Here is my roster and maybe if someone could give me an idea of what I think I could get for my collection of closers
C - Lucroy
1B - Dunn
2B - Infante, Altuve
SS - Furcal
3B - Dan Murphy
OF - Trout, Harper, Pagan, Kubel, De Aza, Cespedes DL
SP - Peavy, Beachy, J Johnson, Capuano, Samardzija
RP - Motte, Casilla, Broxton, Fuentes, Myers, Thayer, Janssen
As you can see, that's a lot of closers and if if it weren't for Myers have SP eligibility I couldn't start them all. I realize the shelf life of Thayer and Janssen is limited but even still five is probably more than enough, besides Santos is available (as are Farnsworth and Bailey). I don't really have anyone to drop to pick them up and stash them away plus I have Cespedes currently on the DL.
So...I could really use a third basemen and perhaps I should start there, maybe someone like Moustakis? Would he be too much to ask for any of my closers? Plus Furcal seems to be fading, so I could probably use an upgrade there.
If anyone has an ideas, names, advice I could really use some help. Making trade offers in these types of leagues (non keeper) have always been a difficulty of mine.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

1) Post a league message advertising closers. Offer a 2-for-1 for a slugger.
2) Offer Broxton (name value) or Casilla (nice numbers) for a slugger. I countered Pena for Downs with Konerko for Rodney. I talked up Rodney's success and lack of competition and it was a done deal. I also traded Casilla for Morales.

Thanks guys. I made the offer that JC suggested as the Hanley owner currently has him at UT (with S Castro at SS and C Jones at 3B) and he could really use saves. He's near the top so he's probably still paying attention to his team to actually respond to the offer. I'll just have to be more proactive in sending out emails all over the place and see what happens.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

Originally posted by virgonomic View PostI have 3 offers on the table right now. I suspect there are a few inactive owners in my league though. Like the owner with Bailey in his starting lineup.
I am starting to think that teams just don't care about closers in this league. Addison Reed, who Ventura just officially named the closer, was available in my league. I dropped Kubel to pick him up. So now I'm in a bigger hole in terms of too many closers. But I think Reed's stuff is too good to pass up.
My offer of Myers and Harper for Hanley was rejected. No counter.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

Originally posted by BuckyBuckner View PostOne team has Pineda, Street and Chris Carpenter in their starting lineup. Another teams has Daniel Hudson, Luebke and Soria active. I don't even bother making those teams an offer. I always look to see how many moves the team has made before I bother with an offer.

I dropped Downs for Soriano yesterday and just dropped Dolis for Reed.

So the two offers I got so far:
LeHair for Myers
T Hunter and Ogando for De Aza and Myers
Obviously the second deal isn't gonna happen but the first one is intriguing. But LeHair has been in a huge slump.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

Agree that the 2nd one won't cut it but the 1st one is close. Depends on if you think LaHair is going to bounce back or not. I think I'd probably do the deal but before doing it, maybe shoot a trade offer to everyone for Myers for their 3rd/4th Ofer or so and see if you can get anyone to bite and someone better than LaHair
