Yeah, I thought the 20 moves rule is lame too. They said it's to prevent people from "exploiting" pitchers.

20 is still too harsh. I'd take a flier on Swisher, but not with those rules. Definitely forces trades rather than drops and adds.

That's retarded, I regularly make at least 50 moves in a season without streaming.

Yeah, I agree. I got them to bump it up to 30, but seems like I joined the wrong league [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]

You're gonna get screwed with DL guys you can't move.

My only 3B on one of my teams, Alex Gordon, just went on the DL, who knows for how long, apparently he's having hip surgery. So, yeah, I need a starting 3B. I'm looking at Rolen or Lowell as probably the best options available on the FA list. Who would you go with?

Lowell has better hitters around him in the lineup.

Jeffy, if you're using Yahoo for your league it has a cap on IP for your team and games played for each position to prevent exploiting the free agency. You should tell them to scrap that moves cap.

Really? I looked at the settings and all I saw was a Minimum IP, but there is also a max cap for IP? I also noticed there can be a cap for maximum number of moves per week. Seems like that would be more reasonable to set a weekly move limit rather than a move limit for the whole season, eh?

So in Baron's and my league, there was a trade between two best friends (who have had some very sketchy fantasy deals in the past), J.J. Hardy for Placido Polanco. Two days later, the guy who got Polanco just dropped him. Is this grounds to reverse the trade?
Fantasy Baseball Advice Thread - Runnys - 04-22-2009
Would you guys do this trade:
I get: Cole Hamels, Clayton Kershaw, and Bradley
I give up: Sabathia, Chamberlain, and Hermida
The idea of Sabathia and Chambelain having half their starts in New York actually makes me cringe a little. The ball flies out of there and I really see no way that either Sabathia or Chamberlain will have ERA's under 4 this season.
Fantasy Baseball Advice Thread - Coach - 04-22-2009
I'd do that deal in a heartbeat.

As would I. Hamels is going to put up about the same numbers as CC. I'd take Kershaw or Joba right now, and Bradley over Hermida. Wrong time to offer Hamels and Bradley in a trade when their value is lower than it will ever be.

He ended up backing out of the deal. He started trying to get Granderson from me and I am not giving up Granderson for Bradley.
I am just fed up with CC and it scares the piss out of me to have any Yankee pitcher in that park.

Is it too soon to give up on Magglio Ordonez? He's at .225/.313/.284 with two extra bases the entire season (both homers). My offense has been killing me (I'm hitting a combined .182 for the week), so do I drop him and get someone like Bourn or Kubel for a quick fix or just try and wait it out?

If power is your problem, Bourn surely isn't going to fix it.
