Answer 1

wow nice telephone book.

Answer 2

I would probably vote to veto. That trade would set you to dominate. considering the rest of your team, you would have the best offense (if it's not then you are in a 4 team league). Your starting P is only moderate after Cain, Verlander and Haren but who cares if your closers are good and hitters are that good. You could sell Hamilton high right now for a starter. Your big weakness is 2B and you're not that bad off with Freel and Aurillia. You could also try moving Posada for a good starter, if Martinez is healthy you could afford a catcher and someone is always desperate.

If I were the other guy, I would ask for Crawford as well. Take the deal - he is giving up his first round pick for a late 4th rounder. So this is like having 2 first round picks for you.

Answer 3

Yeah, do that in a second.
Actually, even Beltran for Papelbon straight up I would do. (depending on your scoring system I suppose), but the difference between Papelbon and Street is NOT beltran.

I think if you have voting in your league though, it will be disputed.

If you made it Beltran and Street for Papelbon and Dye, that would be more fair.

Answer 4

In a second! It looks like you may have to drop someone if you have the standard 21 man roster, Garcia or Garland maybe. Or include one of them just to make it look better. If this is a public league, it has a good chance of getting through, as half the owners don't give a damn anyway.

Answer 5

Do it before the guy comes down from whatever he is on. Beltran is a top 15 guy and you are getting a serviceable replacement for the guy you are giving up. The guy must be an over the top BoSox fan - take advantage of it before it goes away.

Answer 6

beltran is a top ten fantasy player and street is a cloer to replace papelbon. Sure papelbon will get saves but beltran gets homers, runs, rbis, stolen bases and decent average. Definintley do that.

Answer 7

What's your trade partners ID? I'd like to invite him to join some of my leagues!

If any owners in yourleague can Veto nad know anything about baseball , be prepared for them to be claiming collusion, because that trade is just not fair!

Answer 8

So you're saying Beltran & Street, for only Papelbon?

I couldn't accept that trade fast enough!

Take that fvckin deal... no ?'s asked.

Answer 9

that's an absolute no brainer!

Beltan is my pick for nl mvp.

that's a trade offer come true, hell i wish i had a dumbass in my pool offering me that deal.

Papelbon will probably get you 43 saves

Street will get you 35+

It's a no brainer

Answer 10

u must take the trade ur of are really weak and u are getting street also. do this trade and run before they realize wat u are doing. this trade will get u in the playoffs for sure maybe even win it all with this. BUT HURRY AND GET THIS DONE...they will be plenty of closer this year but a player like that wont come around easy....

Answer 11

Do it and play swisher at 1st and beltran in the OF.
