Other gm wants Tulo

[chowder]

I inquired about Lincecum and he countered with Lowrie/Lincecum for Tulo/Beckett.

I need help at SP big time.
Other positions I could improve are 2b (Zobrist) and C (Rosario - Avila hurt so I dropped him)

I'd rather give him Milone or Homer Bailey instead of Beckett. I won't get Cano off him, but maybe throw in a Wieters for Rosario swap.

Something like Lowrie/Lincecum/Wieters for Tulo/Milone/Rosario. Is that ok?

C - Matt Wieters (Bal - C)
1B - Billy Butler (KC - 1B)
2B - Robinson Cano (NYY - 2B)
3B - Ryan Zimmerman (Was - 3B)
SS - Jed Lowrie (Hou - 3B,SS)

OF - Carlos Quentin (SD - OF)
OF - Desmond Jennings (TB - OF)
Util - Albert Pujols (LAA - 1B)
BN - Cameron Maybin (SD - OF)

SP - Tim Lincecum (SF - SP)
SP - Yovani Gallardo (Mil - SP)
RP - Pedro Strop (Bal - RP)

P - Sean Marshall (Cin - RP)
P - Bud Norris (Hou - SP)
BN - Anthony Bass (SD - SP,RP)
BN - Anibal Sanchez (Mia - SP)
BN - Carlos Zambrano (Mia - SP)
DL - Drew Storen (Was - RP) DL

Somethings wrong with Lincecum, I would never deal a player like Tulowitzki for him anyway. Being a shortstop and putting up those huge numbers makes him a top five player IMO.

Try offering up Billy Butler or Pujols, since you have two first baseman and see what you can get in return.

Ugh, I don't know.
1. I like both Zobrist & Rosario... have them both on a couple of teams.
2. Lincecum - gosh, I'm not sure about him in a 1-year league.
3. Tulo is Tulo. And I have little faith Lowrie (look at his career numbers) can continue his current pace.

I don't like this deal for you.

that's his roster.

The only way I'd consider trading Tulo in your situation is if Cano is part of the package coming back (which you said is unlikely) and you had another solid SS. Otherwise, take him off the table completely - don't sell him low.

Lets see your roster and I'll get back to you with my thoughts.

lowrie, lincecum and wieters for tulo and beckett

i would do that

[djkiang]

Why are we contemplating Tulowitzki? Lincecum isn't the answer. Perhaps it's time to search out for another pitcher who will cost less.
