You're kidding, right? Take it, shoot the dude in both legs, and run for your dear life.

yes im serious... only issue is i have a full roster. and would need to drop 2 players to make the trade work... since figgins is on a DL Spot and i filled his spot with marmol and filled hughes spot with scherzer

out of this list who should i drop?

How many teams are there in your league? Your team is pretty stacked...

You should make the deal and drop Gordon and Liriano or Scherzer. I doubt Liriano is worth hanging on to and Scherzer won't be starting anymore with the return of Doug Davis. Drop both if you can.

8 team keeper league...

ive traded away Jeter, Joba, Oliver Perez, Kinsler, Sheffield, Vernon Wells, Wang, Zimmerman, and Dye and I acquired Wright, Verlander Figgins in trade From one Guy.and I also Got Upton, Hamilton, Hamels in another trade. Ive got Pence, Scherzer, Marmol, Harden and Volquez of waivers


i cant bring myself to drop liriano... i dont mind dropping scherzer if i must since my waiver is like #2 and i can always nab clatyon kershaw or david price later on in the year... but i dont really have a need for hunter... with upton, sizemore, hamilton, pence, kemp for Outfielders

personally, i wouldn't. yes you are robbing him based on pure value. but figgins is still imo the best player in the bunch. how many do you keep? i think figgins is worth a lot more in keepers.

and besides, you could not possibly play those 2 guys. assuming 3 OF and 1 Util normal setup, you won't probably get to play both guys at all.
