Fantasy Baseball Trade Analysis

[AndChiefs]

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

Only other trade bait I have is Cespedes... which is stupid because that would hurt my offense.

Trade Felix if you need to. Just saying you can do better.

How can I leverage King Felix into 2 closers that make the value worthwhile

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

I know jack shit about fantasy baseball, but I'm finding it pretty fun.

Just got offered Julio Teheran, Billy Butler (lol), and Evan Longoria for Carlos Gonzalez and Ian Kennedy.

Thoughts?

Doesn't sound good to me...

I just got offered Teixeira and Fernando Rodney for Greinke.

That would be next to impossible honestly. Who could afford to trade away 2 closers? Might have to go for 1 closer and a batter and see if you could flip the batter for a closer.

Kennedy will probably get a few more K's than Teheran, but Teheran will have better ratios. Pretty close to a wash. So it really comes down to do you believe Butler can hit or not. Also depends on your needs.
Who do you have in your infield? And who would replace Cargo in OF?

Stroman will likely be called up soon and I'm looking at deepening my pitching with him. I'd have to drop one of the following:

Will Venable
Chris Denorfia
Asdrubal Cabrera

What are your thoughts?

I'd say leave Asdrubal but what do I know.

I made a trade, gave up Allen Craig and Felix to get Joe Smith, Soria and Morneau.

Now I'm about to get Kershaw back, and here are my starters:

Greinke
Ervin Santana
Yovani Gallardo
Tim Hudson
Mark Buerhle
Garrett Richards
Drew Smyly.

Assuming I can't flip any of the guys besides Greinke or Kershaw for players, who gets dropped?

Forgot that I also have Kazmir.

I'd look at picking Stroman up in your leagues if he's available.

Rookie pitchers scare me.

Ventura is a rookie pitcher. But you're correct on rookies. There is risks. But depending on your roster he could be worth the risk (especially in my keeper league).
