Fantasy Baseball Trade? We’re almost done working everything out, but this is what I am looking for. It is a 12 team points league that heavily favors hitters (last year, kemp got 800, but verlander only got 600).
I give: Joey Votto, Mike Trout, Carlos Pena, Felix Hernandez
I get: Albert Pujols, Curtis Granderson, Yu Darvish
How do you like it? Am I giving away too much? Should I replace Darvish with CJ Wilson, or go after Encarnacion? Any input is appreciated.
Thanks!
9th Inning Situation: What Would You Do? This is a hypothetical because I was playing a sim game, but one I take very seriously so I’m interested on how others would’ve handled this.
Playing as Braves, at Cincinnati. Up 4-3, bottom 9.
Craig Kimbrel on the mound, Eric O’Flaherty in bullpen
2 Outs. Paul Janish at 2B.
Joey Votto batting, having a very Votto season
Jay Bruce on deck, Ramon Hernandez in the hole.
What do you do? Do you pitch to Votto? Do you walk him? Do you bring in the lefty O’Flaherty to replace the insanely dominant Kimbrel? Other options? My decision didn’t turn out well. Read Additional Details if you wanna peek at what I did.
I pitched to Votto and he tied it up—I won in 15 but couldn’t stop second-guessing myself on pitching to Votto. I *NEVER* put the tying or winning run on intentionally, not even risking the Pitch Around option. Ever.
Should I Accept This Fantasy Baseball Trade? This is a 6-team head-to-head categories league. Someone proposed me this deal and I kind of like it because I need stolen bases and bonifacio has sooooo many. Should I do it?
I GET: Emilio Bonifacio & Billy Butler
I GIVE: Dan Uggla
Should I accept this deal?
This is my team pre-trade. Tell me if you like it and/or add any suggestions.

I don’t know how your league is set up, but that’s a LOT of 1B you got there. Lind, Morales, and Trumbo will all hit for power, but they won’t have very good seasons. Also, you need help at 2B and 3B because Infante, Hill and Moustakas are all flukes. Pitching-wise, I’d say Lewis and Venters are pretty expendable, with Beckett and League also as possible trade bait.
