The 2nd trade has been made.

RoundinAintEasy Gets:
Adam Wainwright
Jon Garland

Sparky10191 Gets:
Clayton Kershaw
Barry Zito

Thoughts? Opinions?

Well I missed out on Zito and I really wanted him. I saw projected his starts and he has a super easy schedule to start the season which would help me for the 1st Half pot. If he's the #3 starter and the rotation goes as planned...this is his first 2 months.

@ Houston
v Pittsburgh
@ San Diego
v St. Louis
v Rockies
@ Mets
v San Diego
@ San Diego
@ Oakland
v DBacks

The teams with the bats come to AT&T and the then he goes to places like Petco, Citi etc.

And then...I don't really see a difference between Wainwright and Kershaw aside from the fact that Kershaw may pick me up a few more strikeouts. I do think he has a huge season as well. I didn't want to get rid of Garland...but I think Zito was the better catch.

Basically...I made a trade because I wanted Zito.

And it's funny how things turn out.

I was going to trade Wainwright and Kazmir for Verlander. Kazmir hits the DL...I miss out on picking up Zito off FA. And now I get him and a guy who gets more K's than my top guy and pitches just as well with a better overall lineup imo. AND...now I can keep Kazmir too. I don't have to do a 2 for 1 and give up wins. And it was all about if Roundin wanted Wainwright or not.

But overall...it really does seem like an even trade. I did give up 2 "Ace's" to get a 1 (maybe a 2 guy) and a 3 guy. But we'll see how it works out. However...I don't think I want Padilla anymore. I guess I'll keep him around until Kazmir or Lidge comes back. I have no idea who I'll drop when these guys come back...I have my ideal roster now.

hahaha  you made the trade for Zito lol good luck with him lol 

the difference between kershaw and wainwright.....IMO wainwright has done it and been a beast, kershaw has only in stretches

a lot more wins in wainwright....he k's will come back down around 180 probably though

The mets, dbacks, cardinals, rockies and padres all rocked him last year lol

But if Kershaw has that season to finally make him the elite pitcher he's supposed to be...than I hit the jackpot. And 243 innings for Wainwright last season. Over 100 more innings than the season before. Kershaw is closer to 60 more innings. He'll be in the running for Cy Young this season...but Halladay will win it without question.

Yes...but his 2nd half was incredible and nobody is talking about his big contract anymore. I think he can go free and easy and just be himself as the 3rd pitcher in that rotation.

good luck....no shame in going for some guys you think will do good...just relying on Zito, eeeek

"Zito, who is 0-3 with a 9.22 ERA in three regular-season starts against his original organization. He ends the spring 0-2 with a 6.35 ERA"

Well Sabathia had a really bad spring. As did Wandy Rodriguez. Doesn't mean that will translate into a bad season.

I can't wait for 8:05...but I really can't wait for tomorrow

F Hamels ill give you Wandy for that

Kemp was said to be batting 2nd....guess it doesn't matter because he'll get more RBIs. 5th is definitly not it though....Martin batting 2nd? really...

Stubbs got snubbed....pinch hits and goes 2-2...good job Baker you moak...

damn....hate when people pick people up after just one good day ARGH....was waiting on Rasmus

a free agent goes into your team the next day

and why ian snell? lol he's doo doo and now in the AL

j lanahan is u bum had to drop em.....thoght i was slick and start snell tonight....ian (bum) snell actually came on at the end o seasom last yr.....besides ill prob drop him in a few anywhos
