Shortstops and trades

[cardinalgirl]

I got my fantasy team handed to me yesterday morning. I drafted ss's high cos I wanted to have a lot in case I didn't get Pujols or someone almost as cool.

So, I got Jeter and Renteria and the dolt who got Pujols (Dodger fan) has Orlando Cabrera.

What are the chances he'll take one of my ss's? Is it bad to hope that Orlando Cabrera gets a thumbtack in his shoe or something? Oh, I kid. Kinda. (the dodger fan is most likely the easiest to deal with in this league, thank goodness)

I got Magglio again this year too. I have always liked that guy. And Vidro and Soriano too.

My pitchers are okay, but I really wanted Javy Vazquez and I got him.

Does he believe (incorrectly, I might add) Jeter is the best shortstop in the American League?

If so, he may be interested in Jeter. I doubt he'd be interested in Cabrera. Good luck prying Pujols away from him if he is anything resembling a smart fantasy baseball participant. Pujols is gold. Find something (or a combination of things) worth more than gold and you may interest him. However, you need to go into the "negotiations" with the mindset that your team does not need Pujols. The minute he senses that you cannot live without Albert you've just increased the guy's asking price.

[cardinalgirl]

I know.

He has cabrera. He needs Jeter or Rent.

I expect him to decline the trade I offered and then we work something else out.

I dont' think he is that impressed with Pujols, but even if he was, he probably wouldn't tell me. They're still mad that I did so well in football this year.

[COACH REGGIE]

I got a situation I would like some input on too. I am trying to upgrade my second baseman. I have Luis Castillo there right now, and Carlos Delgado ar first, someone offered me a trade of Delgado to them for Alfonso Soriano and Rafael Palmeiro. Being as Palmeiro is rather old, and soriano is now by himself in texas, do you guys think I should do it or not?

Is it a keeper league?

Regardless, Soriano will go nuts in Arlington. It's the best hitter's park after Coors.

I'd do it. Raffy will be fine this year. Even if it's a keeper league, you are trading 1 keeper for another, and Soriano goes top 5 in drafts whereas Delgado is probably top 15.

It's actually a fairly lopsided trade in your favor.

If I had Cabrera, I would not trade for a SS besides A-Rod or a healthy Nomar (maybe Tejada) at the expense of Pujols.

I didn't mean to type "He doesn't want Cabrera". I goofed, sorry.

[kaiser]

Frankly, I'm surprised that no one asked for my opinion on this topic.

[cardinalgirl]

Yeah. I have to decide how bad I want to keep my Pujols having tradition.

It may be that it's worth it to me not to get him. I have to prepare for that possibility.
