my team is great in steals, batting average, and runs scored but terrible in homers and RBIs. i'm willing to trade ichiro suzuki and i want a power hitter in return. what are some players i could ask for in return?
When looking for trade value in a 1-on-1 trade, I usually go to Fuston's big board and see who is around the player I have that I want to trade. Around Ichiro is Sizemore, Phillips, C. Lee, R. Howard, M. Ramirez, Ordonez, Beltran, A. Ramirez, Morneau, and Teixeira.
Out of those I like C. Lee, Manny Ramirez, Ordonez, and Teixeira. Lee and Manny's numbers are good this season...but not so good that other owners aren't willing to trade (like Berkman or Hamilton...their owners aren't going to trade with you). I just think Teixeira is going to break out at some point again and when he does, he's going to be a top 15 player (again). It might be post all-star break, but he's a buy low canidate right now. McLouth is another guy I like. Only 2 others have 10+ home runs, 30+ RBIs, and .300+ ave.
I doubt you'll get a player like Berkman or Hamilton now that they are on fire. You might can get BJ Upton. Keep Ichiro and check out the wavier wire. I'm sure there has to be a player worthy of picking up.
I think Ryan Howard is a great buy low candidate right now but you'd probably still have to package somebody else in the deal if the Howard owner is savvy.

well, Ichiro is not having one of his amazing seasons.....
this year, you'll probably want to get someone like Lance Berkman or the AL MVP in my eyes, Josh Hamilton.
