Pick up Aarom Laffey from Cleveland. The guy is a pitching machine. Check out that ERA and WHIP.

WOW
I was champ last year, I dont need advice, I need my boys to start hitting, and they have. I'm making my march back to the top!

this should be obvious...because he hasn't proven himself over several seasons. Right now he is the best pitcher in the league and definitely a good person to have in your lineup. Someone may want to give up a proven vet for the best pitcher in the league, they may not. Personally, i'd rather have a proven vet putting up slightly weaker numbers than a one time sensation putting up the best numbers...but that's just me.

So far, just a few nibbles.

I can't agree with that. As a manager of a real team I would, but in fantasy you stick with the hot hand, and its much more of a "what have you done for me lately" thing. I wouldn't trade him right now for any pitcher, not even webb at this point. I had a chance to see him pitch in person the other night at the phillies game, he is definitely the best starter to have right now.

I'd go after him but I don't have a pitcher to match up in a trade. My worst problem is I have Ryan Howard.

On one hand you mock me for asking for Webb and then you say you wouldn't make the deal to get Webb??

Arguing both sides of the fence aren't you?

Crazy thing is I picked him up as a free agent about a month into the season.

Same thing with Ervin Santana
