So elite aces would be worth it? Both guys have Lester and Arrietta

I think a super elite bat > super elite ace, but your call. I would only move Machado for a big return. I still think you would be crazy to give up your competitive advantage. Correa is the only SS who could even approach Machado's production at the position.

I don't REALLY want to move him. I'm just trying to sell high. My lineup has been good all year. I haven't lost a category. And if the rest of my bats can carry the weight and I can add a stud pitcher or two then why not explore what the other guys want to give?

Dude you need to chill. This isn't football where there are 12-16 games in a fantasy season. It's a long season. It sounds like you might be over-managing. You're in first. Stay the course. There will be ups and downs so play for the median.

Ok so most input saying don't give Machado away unless it's for a king's ransom.

Thanks for the input fellas

I have a guy offering me Carrasco for Herrera and Ross. It's a lesser pitcher than the big dogs but I can keep Manny.

Machado has a lot to do with that

I dont think Carasco is that much better than Ross

I'd take the Carrasco deal. They will manage Ross' innings and while Herrera could possibly keep it up, odds are in your favor that he regresses. Your 1-2-3-4 punch would look great in the playoffs.

List some available OF free agents. If you're going to make a move, it should be there.

is it an batting average league?

not as fruitful as i suspected, but Napoli is having a pretty damn good year if you are in an OPS league

he's on a 104/31/117 pace

I looked at Napoli but Ellsbury and Gardner have better averages and steal some bases. Should I consider dropping one of those for Napoli?
