Fantasy trade....??
alright im getting alot of mixed feeling about the Dye for Bay trade .. some think its totally carzy to make that offer some think the other person is crazy if they accept the offer.. but here the trade i offered to him ..
K.Benson, T.Hudson, L.Overbay, J.Dye
FOR
J.Bay, C.C Sibathia, J.Schmidt
and with the empty spot in my line up i would pick up probably Sele or Moyer in the free agent pool ... other options .. but im looking for a reliable low ERA person ..
i threw in overbay cuz i Probably wont use him very much and he's in need of one with his 1b being Jacobs ..
good deal .. anyone getting a better deal here?
Update:Before i offered that trade he offered me Schmidt, Sabathia, and Thames
for Dye and Benson ..

You would be ripping the other guy off in the deal poroposed. Here is how I would rate the seven players involved.
1) Bay - Absolute star, first round draft pick
2) Schmidt - Ace pitcher, easily one of the ten best starting pitchers in the league
3) Dye - Having a career year, due to fall off
4) Sabathia - Young ace, better than Dye but Dye is hot
5) Hudson - Good number 2 starter, better than Dye but Dye is hot
6) Benson - Replacement level pitcher
7) Overbay - Replacement level first baseman
The deal you have offered is a total ripoff. I wouldn't trade Bay alone for all four guys you offered. I wouldn't trade Schmidt for all four guys you offered. The fact that you are still negotiating with the other owner says that he doesn't know what he is doing. Offer him Bay for Dye straight up and enjoying winning your league when he accepts.
They would be crazy to accept this trade.
Outfielder wise, Dye and Bay have similar stats right now, but Bay has a lot more potential to put up better stats. Dye is a very streaky and injury prone player.
Pitching wise, this is as lop-sided as it can possibly get. You are offering two very mediocre (at best) pitchers for two very good ones. Look at it this way. You are offering two guys who are in the bottom of their rotations, for two aces. Sound fair to you? No.
if this guy accepts this trade he should shot himself.
why not offer the guy who has pujols Benson and over bay 4 Pujols
try to get Johan Santana i got him in a trade for Manny Ramirez he is getting the better deal so cancel the trade
take beltran over bay, but id do it
