As a team I really like this trade for the Braves. They needed a legitimate leadoff hitter and now they have it. Fantasy wise however, this may not be great for Bourn owners. As a team the Braves only have 42 stolen bases, but perhaps this is because they haven’t had any real burners to swipe bags. My main concern is that they Braves will hurt Bourn’s value by using a lot of hit and runs. With a player that handles the bat as well as Martin Prado presumably hitting behind Bourn I can see this hurting his value.

The main reason I like this trade is because of the way Tony LaRussa used Rasmus. Rasmus is an everyday talent that was treated like a platoon player. Rasmus is also moving to the AL where a day off could still get him at-bats being the DH. The Cards made a mistake by trying to prove a point and the Blue Jays and Rasmus owners are going to reap the rewards.

I am not sure of the fantasy value of this trade. The Cardinals like their pitchers to throw a lot of 2-seam fastballs and that’s not really something in his arsenal. The move to the NL may help him but he was a player on the fringe of being owned in standard leagues before the deal and probably still is.

Without Jose Reyes hitting in front of him production may dip a little but I don’t see much change besides a slight decrease in RBI.

Pence owners have to be happy. Although now hitting 5th in the lineup instead of 3rd, the move to a smaller ballpark and a stacked lineup I only see his value going up. I also feel like his stolen base numbers may increase as Charlie Manuel lets his players run.

With half his starts no longer at Safeco Field and behind the M’s superior defense Fister’s numbers will most likely get worse. The biggest impact of this trade is that is blocks top prospect Jacob Turner from getting called up.

Davis will finally get a chance to play every day. Davis has big time power and reminds me a bit of a pre 2011 Adam Dunn without the high OBP. Davis is defiantly a player to keep an eye on and has 1B or 3B eligibility.

Probably the riskiest and the most expensive trade, the Indians went all in on Ubaldo. A move to a new league may help his value this season as hitters will not be as familiar with his stuff. As much as I would like to believe this trade will help his value, I seriously doubt it.

The only reason he makes this list is because shortstop is so shallow. Maybe a change in scenery will help Furcal. There is always a health risk with him and he rarely steals bases anymore.

Another pitcher who benefitted from having his home starts at Safeco Field to move to the AL East will only hurt his value. Bedard is also a huge health risk and is probably there to buy time until Clay Buchholz can return.

Moving to a team with a better lineup than the Padres and a division filled with hitter friendly ballparks will only increase his value.
