This just came across the newswire:

McCutchen, Werth and Jesse Chavez traded for Adrian Gonzalez, Kinsler and Kyle Farnsworth.

Got vetoed.

Also, the Angels are going to move Smith out of the closer role. The guy I traded him from picked up Fieri this morning.

I'm sucking in my keeper league. Considering this deal..

Give:
Shelby Miller
Jonathan Lucroy

Get:
Ryan Zimmerman
Gregory Polanco

Obviously a future move but I'm in last place. Both Polanco and Zimmerman would be keepers. What do you think?

Bats are more predictable than pitchers, and Polanco has elite upside. I'd make that move.

Most definitely.

The trade didn't go through but he countered Wacha/Lucroy for Zimmerman/Polanco. Seems a bit too high of price.

I'm considering making a Holliday for James Shields proposal.

With Sale on the DL and Minor and Homer Bailey sucking hind tit my starting pitching is just atrocious right now, and you can only ride the streaming wave for so long before it bites you.

I have Puig and Choo as my other starting OFers with Kole Calhoun and Eaton on the DL and Oscar Taveras stashed as a minor league player.

Shields is consistent and avoids the DL. I'd probably do it.

I countered Cingrani/Lucroy but he shot it down. We'll see if I can work something out.

Ok keeper league, I give up Cano, Arenado and a 2nd round for Kinsler, Votto, Lohse and a 6th

Keeper league question:

I have Villar, Gyorko and Carl Crawford. None of them are doing dick.

Can I justify dropping Crawford to get another seemingly productive OF?

Depends on how many keepers you can hold, what other keepers you have, etc.

Can have 5 that aren't the same keeper value

Who are you currently targeting to keep?

Gyorko would cost me a 11/12/13th round pick, Crawford probably a 15/16/17th maybe.

I think I can keep Kershaw for a 1st rounder again, and if I can't then it'd be Greinke for a 5th or later.

Beyond that I dunno... Probably Dozier.

I'd do that.
