This is an 8 team (I know, I know) dynasty league. Only 8 teams because it's just a group of guys from work.


H2H category scoring (R,HR,RBI,SB,AVG,K,W,SV,ERA,WHIP)


His Masahiro Tanaka + Andrew McCutchen for my Mike Trout


This feels like a no brainer, even though I really hate to lose Trout.


My team:

Buster Posey (C,1B)
Edwin Encarnacion (1B)
Jason Kipnis (2B)
Matt Carpenter (2B,3B)
Alexei Ramirez (SS)
Mike Trout (OF)
Yasiel Puig (OF)
Wil Myers (OF)
Jay Bruce (OF)
Xander Bogaerts (3B,SS)
Albert Pujols (1B)

Jose Fernandez
Johnny Cueto
Michael Wacha
Sonny Gray
Tony Cingrani
Scott Kazmir
Francisco Liriano
Justin Masterson



I could definitely use the pitching help since I am a bit skeptical of Kazmir being this good all year.

I'm not that fond of Liriano even though he pitched well last year and has been somewhat productive so far this year.

Masterson is a trainwreck so far.

Cueto has been lights out though.

The rest of my staff is very young and are sure to take their bumps every now and then.


What do you guru's think?

Wouldn't do it.

I'm sure guys like Ervin Santana or Hiroki Kuroda are always available in an 8-team league.

They are both taken actually, but I get your point.

Definitely can't complain about the value you'd be getting in return... it's fair. But as MWG said, if you're making this deal because you feel you need pitching help, there should be plenty on the waiver wire. Keep the best player here.

I'd pass as well. Same reasoning as mwg. You should be able to find pitching on the wire.

Don't do it because you are going hate yourself for the next ten years for trading away Mike Trout.

Studs win 8 team leagues

If you have the Chance in the future to flip multiple players for a stud, jump on it. Sort the rest out through FA
