You mean there are leagues out there like that?

All right so I've got a bunch of guys on the DL and I could use the space to find a 3rd closer if one comes open.

Here's my deadweight, and again, it's a categories keeper league:

J Villar (who does get steals)
J Gyorko
C. Crawford
C. Quentin (5 OF + Utility)
M. Adams(?)

G. Richards
D. Smyly

Garrett Richards has been really, really good this year. Why the hell would he be dead weight?

He's in the bottom of my starting rotation. It's either him, Yovanni Gallardo or Ervin Santana.

edit- never mind. Had some coffee and lost interest.

GIVE Kershaw and Matt Adams
GET Giancarlo Stanton

No

I like that.

I'm not a huge believer in Adams, but Stanton is a lock for 20 more bombs if he stays healthy.

Kershaw is Kershaw, but top 10 position players help you every day.

Problem is I'm middling between trying to win (get top 4 out of 10) this season or blow it up for next season.

Kershaw's an automatic first round keeper for me.
Giancarlo would be a second round.

This dude is offering these 2 dudes for Jose Reyes?

Mike Morse
Chris Owings

Would you accept it?

Note: I have been pretty detached from baseball the last few years. I don't know who a lot of these guys are... I know who Reyes is and know he is a bad ass, or has been one... I just don't know much about Owings or Morse.

Is getting Danny Duffy from FA for dynasty purposes worth dropping my bottom-feeder hitters such as Solarte, Span, Bourne?

Yes, Solarte.

Do you need HR more than SB? Who would Morse replace? I think you can do better.

Tough one then. I like Giancarlo as a better value keeper, Kershaw in the first isn't saving you anything. If you don't think you can make a push, then it could be worth pursuing.

I've got 8 weeks to get into the top 4 of the league. I'm in 7th now. The treshhold for 4th place at the moment is 72-63-9, and I'm at 65-71-8.

I'm also losing to the guy in fourth place 3-6-6.
