Yeah, im worried his playing time is about to decrease significantly. I had him in another league and ended up dropping him this week

I was looking back at the trade log and found interesting trades.

Starling Marte for Brandon Moss - I even wrote in the preview that this trade would not affect team rankings.
Papelbon and De La Rosa for Rendon and Shelby Miller
Kipnis for Jaime Garcia
Cargo for McLouth and Shields - still shocked at the value here. Almost of all MWG deals have seemed to end on the wrong side until this one, but he is sitting nicely in second place.

Also, I combined all my trades into one to see how I did. I like my work so far.

Send:
Ichiro Suzuki
Carlos Santana
Jaime Garcia
Aramis Ramirez
Matt Holliday
Homer Bailey

Receive:
Jose Veras
Matt Cain
Jason Kipnis
Andrew McCutchen
Marco Scutaro (throwaway)
Kevin Gregg

Marte trade was when I thought I had a ton of pop and no speed. I was backwards.....

Who needs a middle infielder?

Jed Lowrie OTB: Shortstop or Second base eligibility.

Looking for steals, or would like to combine him with Rodney for just a slight upgrade in closing.

You also thought your team sucked.

I thought mwg would struggle to get RBIs because he had guys like bourn and Victorino starting in the of. He leads that category by 20.

Not sure what to do about Cain. I don't think I am ready to sell though. Feel free to send an offer. I would probably sell low on Ike Davis. I would look for a pitcher or catcher.

I didn't think my team sucked. Didn't think it would be 1st right now, but I have made a few good trades to help.

Now if I could get Jesus out of my lineup, id be happy.

I thought you said your team should be last in the preseason rankings. Maybe I misremembered.

I have to say I did not expect Harvey and Chris Davis to be the fantasy MVPs. Also, miggy and Kershaw have continued their reign as best pitcher and hitter. I think I hated the depth of your hitters. However, in a non-keeper the rankings can be so close that I literally could have ranked you mid table if I redid it.

I hate how stable you are the 100 point mark.

Yeah, my pitching has been doing really well for me. It would be even better if I wouldn't have screwed up my lineup a few times and not started Harvey, Scherzer, and Wood........

BTW: Anyone want to take some chances can come and get Profar, Anderson, and Cishek. I just need some pop

It will be when he is AAA.

What would Cishek cost? Feel free to check out my bats. I could use another closer of another horrendous team.

Teams of my closers:
Astros
Cubs
Mets

The Marlins would fit right in.

Only when you let me catch you in RBI.

I purplosely drafted a ton if high OPS guys. Of course, I traded two of them when I dealt Holliday and Aramis. I targeted HR/RBI/OPS in the draft big time.

I need to stop playing Dee. Killing my OPS

But I'm trying to gain ground in SBs since Vic and Bourn have missed so much time.

I love that all of my best players are now five cat threats. I am going to vault in steals pretty soon. I just hope I don't take too much of a hit in RBI and ops.
