Betrayed King

League #1:

I traded Derrek Lee CHC 1B for Chad Billingsley LAD SP.

(I have Tiexeira as my starting 1B and Cliff Lee is my ace pitcher.)

League #2:

I traded Robinson Cano 2B NYY for Justin Upton ARZ OF.

(I have Pedroia as my starting 2B; Start 4 OF and had Hamilton/Nyjer/Rajai/Hart/Beltran as OF depth before the deal.)

League #3:

I traded Justin Verlander DET SP for Mark Reynolds ARZ 1B/3B.

(Chris Davis is the only 3B eligible player on my roster pre-trade; SP depth includes Sabathia/Johnson/Peavy along with Verlander.)

League #4:

I traded Youkilis BOS 3B/M.Gonzalez BAL CL for ARod NYY 3B/N.McLouth ATL OF

(It's a keeper, so ARod upgrade at 3B was my goal. My closer depth is Soriano/Street/Perez without Gonzalez now.)

I traded Nolasco FLA SP/Strasburg WAS SP for J.Johnson FLA SP.

(I felt like I needed an ace with Hanson/Peavy as the top starters on my staff.)

That's the five trades I've made thus far in my fantasy baseball season, how did I do? What trades seem like reaches for me?

I have the 4th overall pick in a 6 player 10-team h2h keeper. So after 60 players are kept, I have a need for SP. I also have the 17th and 24th overall picks, but if I were to take an SP in the first round of our draft I'd have the following choices... how would you rank them?

Chris Carpenter STL, Cliff Lee SEA, Johan Santana NYM, Justin Verlander DET.

C: Victor Martinez BOS

1B: Mark Tiexeira NYY

2B: Ian Kinsler TEX

3B: Alex Rodriguez NYY

I have the 4th, 17th, 24th overall picks in the draft, who should I target considering my roster holes?

I know I will be keeping Hanley Ramirez and Prince Fielder, but I have a lot of options for my 3rd and final keeper. Help?

J. Vazquez NYY SP

K. Youkilis BOS 1/3

J. Werth PHI OF

C. Granderson NYY OF

J. Morneau MIN 1B

Alex Rodriguez NYY 3B

Ian Kinsler TEX 2B

Dwayne Bowe

Vincent Jackson

Chad Ochocinco

Roy Williams

Brandon Marshall

Wes Welker

Santonio Holmes

Santana Moss

Assuming the Division leaders remain the same until the end of the season, which team do you see taking the Wildcard?

Boston Red Sox

Texas Rangers

Tampa Bay Rays

?

Ravens have Mcgahee, Mcclain, Rice.

Patriots have Morris, Taylor, Maroney.

Broncos have Buckhalter, Moreno, Jordan.

So who starts full-time for these teams or are they split all season long?

I know Machida has an upcoming fight, but if he succeeds in his battle against Shogun in October, is there a possible pairing with Rampage in the future?

I gave up...

Randy Moss NEP WR

Anquan Boldin ARZ WR

I got back...

Adrian Peterson MIN RB

Chad Ochocinco CIN WR

I already have other WRs like Roddy White, TJ Houshmandzadeh, Antonio Gates

I can only keep three players and Hanley Ramirez and Prince Fielder are the only ones I'm certain about.

I only have one spot left and many players to choose from for 2010.

M. Ramirez, K. Youkilis, J. Beckett, R. Martin, J. Werth, C. Granderson are the ones I'm having difficulty deciding between.
