My hitting is stacked and my pitching is descent. I have Rafael Furcal at SS( tearing it up)but I have nowhere to put Tulowitzki. Should I trade for 3rd round potential John Lackey who is out until May, Chad Billingsley, or Zack Grienke?

I get: John Lackey (out until May)

I give up: Troy Tulowitzki (bench warmer)

	Ok im not that desperate. I do have Ben Sheets and Felix Hernandez who are my 6th round and 10th round picks breaking out. So I got lucky there. But I just have too many bats on my bench and want to get rid of them for quality pitching.

	No sense having a top SS with no place to play him. Get Greinke or Lackey & balance your roster

	Eric, trade for Lackey, denis will give him to you pretty cheap. But if you want him you have to do it now, before denis starts getting updates on his rehab. If he starts doing well you won't get him.

	Thanks guys. The kid im trading with wants him pretty bad but I dont know if he'll trade his 3rd round pick. On the other hand he is only owned in 48% of leagues but I guess the 52% are stupid. Ill offer it.

	Are you still feeling good about Sheets?

	People claim Lackey's only problem is with his triceps, so it might be a buy-low on Lackey. With Tulo's value climbing rapidly now though, maybe you can get somebody else thrown in.

	The trade- Lackey for Tulowitzki was declined but I am happy with the counter offer I recieved of Jeff Francis and Jered Weaver for Tulowitzki. Two solid pitchers who are worth starting. The trade worked out for both sides.

	I think you actually did better with the francis/weaver. Weaver is just cold right now but he will improve.

	Its been 1 hour and 15 minutes and the trade has 3 objections. I can't stand it. People just object for the hell of it. Anyone know how many objections it takes to veto or think the commisioner will accept? 5 stars for input.
