    • Dude, ya got screwed! You gave up four of the best for 3 so-so's and a good....

    • i think that u sir are a dumbass hardcore! Jacoby and Uggla torch.

    • You barley edged him out. Elsbery is a guy I think was not the best choice to just throw in there. But you got Hanley so you won.

    • You lost pretty bad dude. Figgins plays about a week or two and then gets hurt for a month every time so he basically sucks (He never plays lol). Beltran does not hit for high average and he is on and off at this point (He ain't young no more). Maine sucks and I am a mets fan but that dude is garbage. It is bad to have mets players because they always have low run games meaning less rbi's + runs. Hanley is a great fantasy player but he is a injury risk especially when the team is doing pretty good (meaning he'll play every day). Not to mention you gave up Uggla who is what ranked #2 or 3. Jacob is a monster and will continue putting in work since he is on what team... BOSTON DAMN REDSOXS! Beckett is a ace and will do what he always does (check is two last yrs and there you go). With Beckett if I had to predict I'd say he finishes with a 3.60 era 16 wins and 6 losses. King Felix is a young allstar and the mariners always heat up every year. Once that happens so will Felix. Honestly dude what the hell were you thinking? Damn rookie lmao! You better hope they veto that trade.

    • u gave up toooo much pitching

    • you lost a lot and getting only two pretty well players, maine and figgins are not doing good right now, your taking a big risk

      • you def won that trade without question.

        Hanley is a top five fantasy player, beltran is a solid OF. these two are both great players. for everyone saying that felix is an ace, lets not forget that he gets injured every year. its tough to predicte injuries but hes one guy that usually goes down. and its statistically proven that Uggla is best in May and goes down with each month. Great sell high. Hes not really losing ne steals at all because hanley and chone will more then make up for the steals from jacoby. Only real player i feel that you lost was beckett who is a staff ace. You won this trade by a mile.

    • fair trade

    • Wow. You lost that trade ...and, badly at that.

    • obviously, you gave up more pitching and got back more hitting. does this suit your team? did you have a starter surplus? if so, then i prefer what you got back. Figgens will offset the loss of Ellsbury's steals and fills in the hole at 2B that uggla leaves. Beltran most likely will fill uggla's power. Hanley is a superstar and #1 player on my fantasy board. Hitting, it is not even close. But while Maine is a good piece, both Beckett and Felix are more likely to be number 1 fantasy aces the rest of the way out. minus a statistical breakdown of your team and your league, I can't say "won" or lost. But i can say I always like ending up with the best player (Hanley) and it definately appears you got figgens at a steep discount, which the other coach will live to regret.

    • you lost big....

      Uggla is good, Ellsbury is solid, King Felix is a top ace and Beckett is the best SP in the game.

      The only thing you are getting out of this is maybe the best baseball player in the game and Figgens is good for average and steals.

      You lose!
