12-team mixed traditional 5x5. Keeper league (no salaries, no rounds, just straight-up keepers)
So I swung three trades today, and I'm curious how I made out...I'm a little nervous. Hopefully there won't be rounds of boos with jeers bemoaning my stupidity.
The three trades combine to make this player swap...
I Get: Pujols, Cuddyer, Phegley (throw in), AReed, Frieri.
I Give: Braun, Lawrie, SPerez, JTurner, Parnell.
Cuddyer replaces Braun in my OF (CarGo, Joey Bats, Ellsbury, Stubbs, Frazier, Saunders my other OFs). Pujols replaces Freese at CI (Rizzo at 1B, Donaldson at 3B), and I feel like it gives me a hedge in case Donaldson craps out in the 2nd half. Castro was my third catcher and will replace Perez (Lucroy is my other...we start 2). I gain in saves, which I'm currently 7th in. I hated trading Turner, but he wasn't going to be a keeper. I needed to get rid of one SP because I'm going to go over my innings limit if I don't. Two of the teams I traded with are looking for keepers for 2014, hence their interest in Braun, Turner, and Lawrie.
Basically, I'm making a run at 2nd. First place team is way too far out front with a retarded 107 points. I'm at 80.0, 3.0 behind 2nd. Teams in 4th-6th have 78.0, 77.0, and 76.5, respectively.
Thoughts on how I did?
