Overall, a pretty even trade. You probably make out better though, because you're likely to get more RBIs, and a few more steals out of the deal.

if your league has them, you're gonna need more Ks

I think you robbed him. Crosby might be good, but he could have gotten a lot more out of the deal.

Crosby only played part of the season last year, keep that in mind.

[Zaunnie]

Should I drop Justin Duscherer for Aaron Heilman or Scott Kazmir? I need more starters since Sheets is injured and my other starters are Pedro and Carpenter

[guru]

I would keep Kazmir. I think he is set to have a decent season.

Was Aramis Ramirez your 2nd pick? He's pretty good, but I don't think he should be going that early. Even if you think he's going to be good, it's usually best to stay somewhat close to the rankings early in the draft. There's a pretty good chance that Ramirez could have waited until the 3rd round, and if he did, you could have gotten a Miguel Tejada instead of a Jimmy Rollins. A lot of guys will pick their favorite players earlier than they are supposed to go, but from my personal experience, it's best to stay within 15 of what the Yahoo rankings are (unles you are an end pick and it won't be your pick for a while).
Once you get to the mid/late rounds, it's not stupid to dig a little deep into the rankings.

Should I drop Huston Street for either Oscar Villareal or Chris Ray? Street isn't doing very good right now and I need a suitable replacement. Or should I keep Street? Right now, the best available pitchers are:
- Tom Glavine
- Chris Ray
- Oscar Villareal
- Chris Capuano
- Bronson Arroyo

If you don't want Street, I'd try to trade him. I definately don't think you should just let him go (look at what he did last year).

I know Berkman's doing much better than Crawford, but would this be a fair trade straight up? Who'd get the best of that deal?

WOW... DONT DROP STREET ---- 21 straight saves and he is only getting better, on a team that is picked by many to make the WS. Street>Ray

Fantasy Baseball is a full season, dont judge guys by a weeks performence.
