Answer 1

Hell yeah dude!!!! I noe u're thinkin that givin up Hafner and Damon is a little too much, but u get ALBERT PUJOLS!!! AND B. HALL!!!!!! DUDE, U R SOOOOO LUCKY!!! U EVEN ASKING????U'LL PUT N. SWISSER(OAK-1B,OF) IN THE OF AND PUT PUJOLS AT 1B AND PUT P. FIELDER AS THE UTIL CUZ HE TEARIN IT UP RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!
im suprised he gave u a. pujols AND b. hall.
btw, dont listen to jondogg cuz he a big fatass lier, no1 would offer hafner, crede(the best 3rd baseman in the AL), and R. Sexson just for A. Otsuka.and even if some1 did, he's even stupider not 2 exept that trade. now tell me, woudl u listen to a stupid person???
I greatly appreciate for picking me best answer several times. Don't drop B. Hall unless u have a good closer or OF on the market. Put B. Hall, K. Youkilis, and E. Santana on the trading block. Probably no1 will bite but, it wont hurt u.Maybe put W. Rodriguez on the block 2. And put C. Schilling in there immediatly!!! and also put E. Santana on there for V. Padilla and M. Mussina in there for D. Cabrera. Actually drop him.
Pick up C. Granderson(Det-OF) if he isn't taken already.
Here are guys u want to drop:
D. Cabrera(Bal-SP)
V. Padilla(Tex-SP)
D. Bush(Mil-SP)
W. Rodriguez(Hou-SP)
Guys that you can trade:
T. Hunter(Min-OF)
A. Kearns(Cin-OF)
E. Santana(LAA-SP)
K. Youkilis(Bos-1B,3B)

Your needs:
Atleast 1 more closer, a productive OF
Possible trades:
T. Hunter and E. Santana for J. Dye(CWS-OF)
A. Kearns and K. Youkilis for A. Otsuka(Tex-RP)
Look out for closers on the waivers. I had closer problems on both of my fantasy baseball teams.
On 1 team I only had B. Wagner and then I picked up A. Otsuka(Tex-RP) and M. Gonzalez(Pit-RP).On my other team I only had D. Turnbow(Mil-RP), then someone dropped B. Wickman(Cle-RP). And after that I picked up J. Borowski(Flo-RP). Good luck pal.

ps i think your team will do fine, a team can't be absolutely 100% perfect.Atleast u have B. Wagner.

Answer 2

Yes take the trade and try to trade Fielder for a pitcher and insert Youkilis into your everyday lineup. I don't know where you are in the standings, but a first place team normally has 3 or more closers, so if I were you, put up a message after this trade is done that you would trade Mussina, Hillenbrand, Fielder and or Youkilis, and combo of one or more for a closer. I have 5 closers on my team, and someone offered me Richie Sexson, Hafner and Crede for Akinori Otsuka. I normally would have done it, but I now have a 25 save lead in my league, plus I would have had to drop players I'd have rather not to bring in a guy who can only play at Util. So yes, if you get anything out of what I just said, do the trade, and do it before he realizes what he has done.

Answer 3

Abso-freakin-lutely!!! I would be looking to pickup a closer, any closer, instead of Hall, but for Pujols, you need to make that trade. I am assuming this is a Yahoo league, so Swisher has OF eligibility. You put Pujols at 1B, Swisher in OF for Damon's spot and Fielder at Util for Hafner.

The only issue is you are giving up Damon's 16 steals. Weeks has 15 on the season, but you have no one else getting steals. If you are willing to take a loss in the Steals department, to have your HR's, rbi's and avg increased, (runs is a wash), then make the move. I know I would.

Answer 4

Absolutely!!! First of all, Pujols is the best player in baseball. Enough said. But, for more information, By moving Swisher to OF, Pujols to 1B, and Hall to SS, you can put Hillenbrand, Fielder, or Youkilis at UTIL, which any one of those 3 would be a good player to use at UTIL.

Answer 5

Looks like a good move to me based on the make-up of your team. Having both Weeks and Hall could be a problem, though. Consider dealing one of them (and either Fielder or Swisher because you now have too many 1B-men and you can only play one of them a time at DH) to someone in your league for another RP or OF and/or a quality SS.

Answer 6

With out a doubt. Pujols is the best player in baseball. He will get healthy and continue to produce amazing numbers. Bill Hall is a very good option as well. He plays several positions and hits home runs. Go for it.

Answer 7

Yes with no ?'s Pujols is one of the greatest players in the NL. But when you do drop Hall and pick up another RP

Answer 8

Pujols is good, no doubt about it, but Travis Hafner comes through man...I gotta tell you, I wouldn't give up Hafner, I've had him in my last 3 fantasy teams, (lucky me) its all up to you, it looks like a good trade, but in the long run will it be favorable to you or the opposin player trying to get your players?

Answer 9

Yes, Pujols

Answer 10

Take it. Pujols is the man. I'm not sure about Hall though, you can pick up a free agent instead of him in any case.
