My Soriano/Francisco Rodriguez for Cliff Lee/Carl Crawford.

I am dead last in my league. I need wins, average and sb's more than anything.

I like this deal, you? I can worry about a closer later with guys like Frankilin, Izzy and a few more on the wire.

5x5 ROTO, non keeper

Franklin wont last as closer and neither will Izzy. That job is going to fall to the new call up Chris Perez sooner than later. It's a fair deal, but i wouldnt expect Lee to hold onto those kind of numbers.

Went ahead and just did Soriano str8 up for Crawford.

Your team is in last place because many of your players are off to slow starts, you shouldn't be making deals based on where your team is ranked currently, it's just too early for that. Your team, quite frankly, is loaded IMO. You should also not be trading for "wins" either, your staff is good enough.

Soriano just blasted 4 homers in 2 games......you've gotta be patient. I don't think you NEEDED to make the deal for Crawford, you have plenty of guys who can steal bases.

However, it is a dynasty league, so he did improve age wise. Its a fair deal.

I wanted Crawford instead of Soriano for 2 reasons, injury risk and the fact that after my post draft analysis, I needed 20-30 SB's somewhere and also need batting average, got both those with Crawford.

Atleast I am getting Soriano's stats this week, he is freakin tearin' it up.

I still want to deal Bedard and Beltran. I just do not trust either of them. There are about 12 Sp I would rather have than Bedard.

It says in bold NON-KEEPER. Never said it was not a fair deal, just a deal, I think, should not have been done.
