Answer 1

Great Trade!!!

With Billy Wagner and George Sherrill on you fantasy team you'll get a lot of saves!

Santana isn't doing that great this year and neither is Maine.

And with Cliff Lee and Shaun Marcum as your starters you don't need Santana Or Maine

Answer 2

I thought you are going to grab Troy Glaus on waivers. what happened to that plan of yours?

Anyway, if your league has H2H format then I'll say its a good trade. but if this is a roto league, then its a bad trade. getting Wagner will solidify your closers. even though losing Johan will be a blow (but not huge) in your pitching corps. Lee, Marcum and possibly Baker will cover his loss. But as for the rest of your pitching staff, its kinda shaky now, thats why this will be a bad trade in roto format.

anyway, good luck

Answer 3

i dont like the trade. i'm a mets fan so i know alot about those players. johans wins are going to come in the 2nd half. he had an era under 3, just never got run support and john maine is a beast in a slump.

Answer 4

Billy Wanger?  Is that some p**n star?

Answer 5

Who did you trade Aramis Ramirez for? That is nuts!! This trade is a great one for you, but losing Ramirez is huge, Cabrera is set for a strong second half, but he won't cover what you already lost.
