Fantasy Baseball Trade Analysis
I know we did something like this for football so I figured we may as well have a thread for it here as well. Does this seem as completely one-sided to you as it does to me?
Send James Shields, KC SP from SP to HARP Send Brian Dozier, MIN 2B from UTIL to HARP Receive Daniel Murphy, NYM 2B from HARP to Bench Receive Jose Valverde, NYM RP from HARP to Bench |

It's not horrible because Murphy is a much better option than Dozier but I still wouldn't do it. Shields is underrated and Valverde is just a couple of bad outings from not being the closer.

Oh i should've mentioned that Dozier is the last option off my bench. My starting 2B is Kipnis.

Team A receives Adam Jones, Max Scherzer, Corey Kluber
Team B receives Shields, Lester, Hamels, Napoli CG and Shutouts are categories in the league. Which team wins the trade? |

What would be the backup taking Jones place and who would be taking Napoli's place?

Napoli is a FA that would fill in at first, Trumbo would move to OF to replace Jones.

How about this
Team A receives Adam Jones, Scherzer, Lawrie Team B gets Cliff Lee, Tanaka, Sonny Gray and will pick up Napoli |

Depends a lot on if you need pitching depth/keeper but i'd probably take Team B's side.

I'm not a huge fan of Lawrie. Jones and Scherzer are tough to take though.

The way I look at it is I'm trading one great pitcher for another great one and two very good ones. Napoli isn't as good as Jones obviously but other than average and some steals they're not too far off from one another. It's not that much of a drop off I don't think and my pitching gets significantly better

Depends on scoring. If your league has OBP as a category, Jones' value is diminished. Overall, given Scherzer's K-rate, the team he plays for, and his divisional opponents, I don't know how you can trade him, especially if it's a H2H league where he could single-handedly win a week for you.

So I have one save so far in a H2H categories league (R RBI HR SB OPB SLG; W K QS S ERA WHIP)
My closer is Balfour. My pitching staff outside of him is Kershaw, King Felix, Greinke, Tim Hudson, Buerhle, Bruce ****ing Chen, Drew Smyly, Yovani Gallardo and Scott Kazmir. Fielding wise: C Salvador Perez 1B Allen Craig 2B Brian Dozier, 3B Ryan Zimmerman SS Jonathan Villar 2B/SS Erick Aybar 1B/3B Matt Adams OF Yoenis Cespedes OF Alex Gordon OF Nelson Cruz OF Carl Crawford OF Will Venable UTIL Mike Napoli UTIL Josh Reddick BE Dustin Ackley BE Jedd Gyorko Who can I deal to get 1-2 more closers and who should I go after?
