i recently traded yuniesky betancort and joe blanton for todd jones and julio lugo…what is your thought on this deal?

Hey Patrick, you picked a pretty old post to ask a question in today, but I found it anyway.
Not knowing the particulars of your league, I’d say this is a pretty fair deal. Lugo’s better than Betancourt in four of the five usual categories, and Jones is going to get you saves for most of the rest of this year. Zumaya may take over late in the year, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Tigers stick with Jones all the way through.
Blanton is a solid pitcher, but he’s nothing special. This year, you’re probably going to be able to find comparable guys on the wire without much trouble.
Hope that helps.

I’m trying to figure what is the best strategy for pitching in a rotisserie scoring league. I have 9 players I can start at any given time

I need help. I’m a commisioner of a fantasy league and I’m really torn on what to do here. My league plays head to head and in the event of the first tie breaker, it resorts to a 4th selected starting pitcher. Well such an event occured and one team did not have a this SP placed in his lineup, but the opponents SP had -7 points as it turns out. Who gets the win???? I need help

Hi there. I have Troy Tulowitzki (starting) and Jason Bartlett at SS. But is now the time to trade Tulowitzki while his value is sky-high at a weak position? What SP / 1B / C should I get in return?

I’m weak at SS and was offered Jimmy Rollins for Matt Cain. My remaining starters(we have to play 5) are Santana, Greinke, Carpenter, Nolasco, and Jurrjens.
Should I pull the trigger on this trade?
