  • figure out the last piece of this trade

    12-team mixed 5x5. I spent a ton on hitting in the auction and only bought one expensive pitcher, but I need hitting anyway, largely due to Reyes and Hanley injuries and a variety of slow starts (Craig, Beltre, Cespedes). I'm talking about a big trade and trying to figure out what to ask for.

    I would be trading away Harvey ($6 this year, $11 next, then done) and Napoli ($17), leaving me catchers of Buck, Ramos, and Gattis for Harper ($8 this year, $13 next, $18 in 2015, then done) and one other guy. Here's who he has. What's an appropriate guy to ask for?

    I have enough positional flexibility that I can take on pretty much anyone. The weakest link in my lineup right now is either Morse or Nava; I have a handful of semi-chumpy pitchers but there are always guys to pick up so I'm not too worried about that side.

    Lucroy $10
    Doumit $4
    Desmond $9/expiring
    Alvarez $7/expiring
    Segura $3
    Rizzo $8/expiring
    Ellsbury $27
    Trumbo $10/expiring
    Upton $32
    Aoki $10
    MReynolds $2
    In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

    I think any of those guys would be fine as you're winning the deal regardless of who you bring in.

    If you can get Segura - that'd be high way robbery. Other than I'd take whatever he wants to offer.

      I doubt your second player is going to be anything special since Harper is far and away the best piece in the deal. I'd ask for Desmond to start then settle for someone like Aoki.
