Ok i did a trade a few days ago and jumped on it....tell me if it was good or not.

I traded

Bobby Crosby & Brad Wilkerson

For

Derek Jeter & Raul Ibanez

Thoughts?

yes, it is possible that you got the better deal, but its not completely one sided.... he probably dropped wilkerson later

You picked 4th and still ended up w/Pujols as your top pick?

What kind of idiots were you drafting with?

I think you did pretty well but I'd do away with Estrada and Duncan on my bench if I were you, and pickup some SP's. After Peavy, and Bonderman you're rotation is very iffy, but you're RP's are solid.

I'd say you did a pretty good job overall though.

Yeah for real, the guy who picked first grabbed Jermaine Dye! After that it was Santana and Carpenter. There's still some pretty decent pitchers on waivers so I'm gonna tryt to pick one of them up. Kinda want to hang on to Duncan though, I have a feeling he'll do pretty well this year and I'll try to use him as trade bait later on...

Just need some lineup advice...Help me out...should I start Alex Gordon and Delmon Young???

Dye? wow....

either he was a die hard White Soxs fan or he's just plain stupid...

Good draft by the way

Yes both of them. If you can make Stephen Drew or Shealy your Utility, The trade for some OF help I don't like you OF but everything else is solid. Get rid of Ordonez he's not going to be the biggest help. Todd Helton is on the decline every year.
