Glad to hear your voice again Rob! I listened to all 28 minutes. Good job as usual. I liked your trade even though I've never done a money league, I still understand the logic. I believe that trade is a good one under the 5x5 set up. I'm sure you'll find a decent relief pitcher or 2 with some closing potential elsewhere even though Nathan was a pretty big save guy. Even though Derek Lee is a solid first baseman, you have to wonder how well he'll bouce back after that wrist injury that plagued him seemingly for most of the season last year. I do like the potential power display the Cubs line up will have this upcoming season. However, you can't really beat Pujols, especially in 5x5 leagues. In BBM, I might have not done this trade, unless I had plenty of spending power because we both know how much Pujols is going to cost. Probably near or at 5 million in the BBM set up. Lee & Nathan combined would probably fall short of what Pujols would be worth. In BBM, I would rather have Lee & Nathan instead of Pujols providing Lee is completely healthy & putting up numbers like he did in 2004 & 2005, also knowing that those 2 are cheaper than Pujols, which would give me more spending power in free agency.
