You can BUY (No other players!) Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum each for 15000-16000!!! I was shocked!

And also INCLUDE Tony Pena (Royals shortstop) as a throw-in - he is worth up to 10000 points!

I thought this was an interesting trade....
(dream draft mode)
The two CPU teams did this....

Giants get: Magglio Ordonez

Mets get:
Carlos Zambrano
and James Shields

My best two trades in my new team is...
(dream draft again)
1. I traded away J. Hammel for J. Papelbon
2. Then I traded H. Blalock for C. Figgans

I prefer not to do trades because if you're playing with a non-arrange team or a non-fantasy draft team it really sort of kills the realism to have random players from other teams on your roster that aren't on the real-life roster. However, I did choose to trade Matsui for Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte because I needed those two players to complete the roster and didn't plan on playing Matsui. Nady can't play Left Field in the game so I keep him at DH.


When you play the SF Giants, you want to dump everyone except Cain, Lincecum, and Bengie :)

Yeah, pretty much, maybe even Bengie if you can get someone better like Maurer.

Actually, Dave Roberts is a good leadoff guy.

I am doing a Giant franchise right now...(no log)
But you would be surprised....
The Giants have a lot of "trade-bait" (Zito, Rowand, Durham, Winn, Aurilia)
I actually picked up star names like (B. Phillips, C. Figgans, P. Fielder, King Felix, R. Braun and more...)

Yeah....my lineup went from stock....to WS contender....
I robbed the Angles..and the Brewers...and the Reds.....
From the Angles I traded for Chone Figgans, K-Rod, and Ervin Santana
From the Brewers I traded for Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, and Gallardo
From the Reds I traded for Edison Volquez, and Brandon Philips....
I filled my lineup with youth and inexpensiveness.....

Thats what makes everything strange.....
17000(zito)+12000(rowand)+7200(durham)+6750(winn)+-4000(aurilia)=46950 in salary...
So my salary (for the whole team)[overall annually] right now is 44500......the limit is 155000.... :shock: :shock: :shock:
