Trade offer confusing me...

I understand that..but Freeman is far from a meh keeper.

Not if he was keeper # 11 in a 10 keeper list esp if you had a 5 dollar Harper . You want me to give you a player who will help you win this year but not give me your best keeper( at least in my mine) to help me for next year.

Oh, I don't know...a 1st baseman who's on pace for 23 homers, 89 RBI, and a .285 average is pretty much the dictionary definition of meh.

Freeman is absolutely better than nothing and at $21 is a good price. I'm not trying to defend this owner. Maybe he just doesn't like you.

The original post said "Freeman who can be kept for $25 in 2015".

Also on pace for about 105-110 runs. With plenty of upside going forward. You're paying for next year and in todays game those are some good stats for a 1b.

The $25 is in a league with a $300 draft budget. He would be $21 in a league with standard $260 budget.

But at 25 that is not a GREAT keeper

And Goldy is a great great help for this year.

I want great for great!!!!

I dont care if I am helping someone else win as long as it improves my team for next year. As usual it comes down to player valuation. .I must value Freeman more than you guys do.

On my phone so I cant post my roster.

I dont have much

g.richards $1
Altuve $24
mesoraco $1
Cespedes $26

More to the point, what does his roster look like? We are only surmising he might have 10 players that are better keepers than Freeman. Perhaps he does...it would help us complete the puzzle for you.

This entire thread is hilarious. At least to me it is.
The potential keeper list (can keep 8) of the other owner (me):

C- D'Arnaud $1
C - Norris $1
2B - Gordon $9
SS - Baez $5
3B - Bryant $1
OF - Springer $6
SP - Cueto $18
SP - Bailey $9
SP - Duffy $1
SP - Paxton $1
SP - Nelson $1
SP - McHugh $1
SP - Bundy $1
RP - Holland $11

So, i still have to cut 6 from this very good list or upgrade with a 2/3 for 1 trade. Sorry Mith, as others have said Freeman is only good but not great and $25 is only a bargain for great players. In fact, i might be able to get him cheaper in the draft. Obviously, i won't have to spend much on keepers and will be more than able to bid generously in the draft on several first basemen (including Goldschmidt) that i would prefer over Freeman.

I'm with you. I will always take the cheap guy with upside over at at-value stud. There are plenty of those at auction.

Those are good, but not GREAT, stats for a 1st baseman in this or any other modern era. I think that we all tend to overvalue our own guys, and don't understand when people don't agree with out assessment of them.

The potential keeper list (can keep 8) of the other owner (me):

C- D'Arnaud $1 - no way keep catchers
C - Norris $1 -see above
2B - Gordon $9 - started great...does he even have a job in 2015
SS - Baez $5 - prospect fishing. Meh
3B - Bryant $1 - depends on his spring
OF - Springer $6 - definite
SP - Cueto $18 probably
SP - Bailey $9 nah hes good but not enough to keep
SP - Duffy $1 - solid keeper
SP - Paxton $1- depends on his performance
SP - Nelson $1- meh could get him for $1 at draft
SP - McHugh $1 -probably keep
SP - Bundy $1 - see Nelson
RP - Holland $11 - definitely keep

Your keeper list is littered with "maybes". I prefer sure things.

Freeman will go for $30 or more in our draft..you should know that.
