well, he preferred to deal Byrnes so it worked out Konerko/Francouer for Figgins/Byrnes. Lucky for me too because the team behind me traded for Taveras too. Thanks for your help.

[quote][b]ramdes (8/10/2007)[/b][hr]If I don't have to give up Francouer, would you take Tejada? he's willing to give me Figgins and Byrnes or Tejada for just Konerko and a throw in. If I go Byrnes, then I'd 1 too many starter in OF or at UT. Tejada would slide into my MI spot and be an upgrade and replace some pop from Konerko.

I think adding Figgins would get the job done for steals.[/quote] I see your point. You know what I'd suggest? Look at the last 3 weeks stats for your revised team with Byrnes and w/Tejada. See what the SB totals are (and any other relevant cat) through the end of the season - it's only a rough estimate but it might give you an idea which roster configuration would be more competitive.

I'd go with Byrnes - SB is where your focus should be as that is the key cat.

deal looks very even to me and if it helps you make up the 6.5 pts like it looks it may then i love it. make the move.

12 team 5x5 mixed keeper (we keep 5)

3rd place, 6.5 pts out and can make up the most points in SBs and AVG. Slotted in RBI pretty much and can only catch guy ahead of me possibly.

Would this deal put me over the top or cost me too much in the end?

I give Konerko and Francouer

I get Figgins and Byrnes

I could offer Logan instead of Francouer, but then I'd have one too many starters and I don't mind overpaying for speed to win now.

Here would be my revised lineup (Figgins is eligible at 3b and OF)

C - Mauer
C - Pudge
1b - Teix
2b - Uggla
SS - Rollins
3b - Zimmerman
OF - Vlad
OF - Sizemore
OF - Dye
OF - Rowand
OF - Byrnes
UT - Patterson
MI - K. Matsui
CI - Figgins
BN - Ankiel, Logan, Weeks
