i swear ur league must be filled with guys who are clueless cause everytime u post its lopsided trades and ones that dont make sense. is any of the 4 players you'r giving away Keepers ?? if not then why would someone want to trade u Bruce ? he's only gonna get better with each year that passes.. he's already showed signs of emerging as a top fantasy guy, Morse is having a good year but will it continue ? can he do it again next yr..?

desmond sucks, ubaldo sucks and Cain is better then Hellickson, so u'd be giving away Morse, 2 guys that suck and Hellickson for a top notch guy in Bruce, a top 4 SS, a closer who is usually serviceable but can blow up on occasions and a solid SP.. i wouldnt trade u them 4 if it was me...

more power to ya if u can land andrus,bruce,cain and ony give away Morse,ubaldo,desmond,hellboy

Guy already has his keepers.  Kemp, J Upton, King Felix, Longoria, and Verlander...he said his odd man out is Bruce.  He needs the starting pitching and wins.

ur team will be better with Bruce at OF and Andrus at SS then Morse and Peralta and you'll get more K's, same era and same W's with Cain as u would with hellickson... i would rather have Cain going against NL opponents then Hellickson facing the likes of the Yanks, Redsox, bJays, and Rangers lineups on a daily basis plus he faces a DH and not a pitcher.. just some things to think about...

desmond n ubaldo arent that good and u wont miss them, u can grab a SP off FA list and spot start them that will give u the xtra stats u might need.. would u be bale to Keep Bruce if u trade for him ?? if yes and u get him next yr also then do it

At the moment, I&#x27;m thinking my keepers are Howard, Kinsler, Cargo, Ellsbury and Price.  Maybe Howard shouldn&#x27;t be a keeper, he&#x27;s on the decline.  So Bruce would be a keeper, but I hate having 3 OF as my keepers.  OF are dime a dozen.

Thanks Philly I accepted the trade.  Guy is out of the run this year, he&#x27;s in 6th place.  Hope he doesn&#x27;t get vetoed.
