I picked up Chris Johnson (no one had claimed yet) yesterday. Have Beltre already, offered up Freese for Betancourt and was accepted. Good move? I have been lacking in RP. He has 7 saves this year.

Wow, why don't guys like you play in my money league?

I confused you with the other guy who brought up Freese and is in a 12 team league.

And I don't really think that's a risk but just a bad trade.

Chasing saves is always a bad idea in fantasy.

That we agree on. Especially Rockies closer.

Really rolled the dice, counting on C. Johnson staying hot. He has been money thus far.

Oh yea he is not the centerpiece in my rotation by any means...I just hate wasting his good starts on my bench and having him in my lineup for the 1.2 7ER games. The potential is clearly there and in a deep league he is worth it when he is on like last week and today.

For those with James Mcdonald (assuming most have gotten rid of him by now though)) Pirates gm hinted that Jeff Locke's spot is safe and the last spot in the rotation will be between Mcdonald and Morton.

Question for any of you guys in more in depth fantasy leagues that might allow draft pick trades. I love the idea, we just started doing it in a league a couple years ago and are running into the issue of some guys selling off their teams real early trying to stack draft picks for the next year. For example, one kid already has 2 picks in each of the first 4 rounds.

Any ideas on how to discourage this other than charging the teams that finish at the bottom more money or something like that? Obviously, bad years happen, but we don't want it to get completely outta hand like its starting too...hoping to get some good ideas.

Sounds like it's a keeper league right?

Yup...23 man rosters, 12 teams, 3 keepers per team.

Give me an example of a trade made in the league that involves a draft pick for next year.

Also, how does your league handle trades? Any approval period or do they just go through?
