2013 Fantasy Baseball, Week 16 Tools of the Trade: Is Yoenis Cespedes A Buy Low Candidate?

·
0 0

TheFantasyFix.com’s “Tools of the Trade” is a unique guide for owners to use while attempting to make an even trade with their league-mates in a standard 12-team mixed, 5×5 head-to-head or rotisserie redraft league.

The values present in this guide are simply the basis for a trade. A full-blown analysis of each team’s strengths and weaknesses are essential prior to proposing or accepting a trade offer.

How to use the guide: Ideally, owners will agree to a trade that will aid both sides and stay within $2-3 of each other in a one-for-one and $4-5 in a multi-player deal, according to our chart.

The Week 1 “Tools of the Trade” was free for all readers, but going forward, the “Tools of the Trade” will only be available to Front Office members. Learn the benefits of being a Front Office member here.

Without further ado, here is week 16′s trade value chart: [am4show have=’p3;p4;p7;’ guest_error=’Front Office’ user_error=’Front Office’ ]

Trading isn’t easy. It’s fun, but not easy. Remember that you don’t have to “win” the trade in order to pull the trigger. If you’re improving your team, then you should make the deal.

Each-and-every week fantasy baseball owners send us their trade proposals and/or offers via our “Quick Fix” and Twitter to determine if the offer is fair and whether or not the trade should be proposed or accepted.

This week’s theme?

CONTENT WILL FOLLOW SHORTLY. RELEASED THE CHART EARLY FOR THE EAGER READERS!! 🙂

    Would you trade Cespedes/peavy/beachy for Verlander/BJ Upton?

    Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
    The words in your article seem to be running off the screen
    in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something
    to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.
    The design look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon.
    Many thanks
