Do I do this deal?
I give Figgins, I get Oswalt/Damon
dude proposed it to me. he needs another bat. desperately but don't you think it's a rip?
i am in 12 team h2h league 6x6 categories:
Runs, HRs, RBIs, SBs, AVG, OPS
Wins, K's, SVs, BB's, ERA, WHIP
This is my team:
Lineup
RJ Towles
Ryan Howard
Chone Figgins
Ryan Zimmerman
Troy Tulowitzki
Alfonso Soriano
Pat Burrell
Josh Hamilton
Brian Roberts
Ryan Garko
Billy Butler
Pitchers
Justin Verlander
Tim Hudson
Joe Nathan
Bobby Jenks
Rich Hill
George Sherrill
Joakim Soria
Shaun Marcum
Jake Westbrook
Hiroki Kuroda
Yovani Gallardo (DL)
minimum innings for my league is 15
oh and his closers suck. dude is an angels fan. i like figgy but damn i need some depth in starting. I picked up Gallardo/Westbrook/Koruda from waivers/FA list....also someone dropped Soria......so I waisted a waiver on him also.

how many minimum innings do you need each week? Just not sure how it helps your team. Damon will not replace the SB Figgins gets you. Oswalt is good, but I assume you took Figgins pretty high too. too thoughts. Try to dominate one side of the ledger. In head to head, I like to dominate pitching and then just win a few bat categories (like SB and runs). The strategy is a little different from a 'rotisserie" leage where you need to score 7 or above in every category to generally have a good shot. See if you can adjust the trade (by adding more players if necessary like Burrell) or have him give you another closer with high ratio's, etc.
Whatever you do, think of it this way. there are 12 categories. Who do you put the best situation together to win 7 to 9 of them every week? this is why I like to 'dominate' pitching with SOLID starters. Get the minimum innings, win the majority of the pitching categories then sit on your stats. Trade him a player that is 'good' in the 3 to 5 categories you don't care about. And if you are really good at it, give him a player that jerks his categories around.

Based on the players you have on your team your not going to be winning or getting many points in the SB category anyways so losing Figgins is not that big of a deal in my opinion.
Getting Oswalt and Damon is clearly the better option. Your gonna get hitting back as well as add a top tier pitcher.
I would do this trade. If you had more speed on your team I would say you don't wanna lose the points. But as your team stands Getting those 2 would definitely help.
