I wouldn't
Wandy is 30 years old, and I’m not in love with Taylor. Let’s not forget Lincecum is of the ripe age of 25
You’re name has 2k9 in it — what are you some 8 year-old who makes Pillsbury Doughboy cookies and jerks off to that bullshit video game with Tim Lincecum on the cover--

I had a bigger offer
and refused it, not in a fantasy league, but a stratomatic type league. . . trading guys like him just seems wrong, but I did trade Pujols in a similar league, but that involved salaries. .
Pass
Unless you are getting a top 10 talent either prospect wise or MLB wise I don’t even consider it.
2 years ago in my dynasty league I traded Lincecum for Webb and Garza. I justified it by thinking Webb was almost equal to Lincecum plus I would get Garza. Now with Webb’s injury problems I wish I had kept Lincecum.

fwiw
in my h2h keeper league (we also get to keep all of our players forever, lince was dealt last year for:
kemp, pedroia, weiters and a prospect (cant remember who at this time)
10 team league
so every team is virtually loaded and since you can keep everyone forever, you have to sweeten up the offers to get a guy like lince.

Bad offer
Doesn’t seem like a huge offer to me. I wouldn’t even consider making this deal.
+1
Don’t do it, not enough high end talent. Plus your team looks really deep so you need impact guys more than solid players.

I guess I'm in the minority
But I would take that deal. Morales is likely a much better option than LaRoche, Matsuz has looked excellent so far, although he might have a problem getting wins for the foreseeable future. Michael Taylor could be a Jason Werth like player giving decent production in all categories. And Wandy can be an ace for a couple of years, although he hasn’t shown that so far this year.
You’re pretty weak at 3rd so depending on what the other guys has you might want to try and substitute Wandy and Taylor for a good third baseman
Stats are not a euphemism for tits
I'd take it.
According to most auction value lists, Kendry + Wandy is very close to Lincecum in value. Matusz and Taylor push it over the edge.
The hell with auction prices
It has always been my belief to always get the best player in the deal. As a general rule I never trade quality for quantity.
So what you're saying is...
If there are 6 mediocre players that add up to Lincecum, its a fair deal?
PPPPPPUNTO 4 MVP 2010
if it takes a few players to add up to yours...
you never do it.
Why would you trade a $40 player say, for 2 $20 players? That doesn’t make you better. You trade Lincecum only if you’re blown away, and this is not blown away. Not in a mixed league.
Lincecum Trade
Traded Lincecum this year this was the deal.
Lincecum ( SF ) + Bourn ( HOU )
for
J. Upton ( ARI ) + P. Hughes ( NYY ) + M. Perez ( TEX )
Slowey is a control freak, and I like it!!
mmm
deal is feasible if your league had deeper settings or you had less quality players.
but from what i see i wouldn’t make the deal if i were you.
I wouldn't do this
unless the other owner subbed a frontline 1b/3b (corner infield seems to be your team’s main weakness) for Wandy, then I’d do it. I’m a big Matusz believer and Lincecum’s velo drop makes vaguely nervous, so that may color my thinking. If you’re okay with trading Lincecum, you could really shore up the couple holes you have though.
NO
that is not enough for Tim Lincecum.
"Fantasy, reality, science Fiction. Which is which? Who can tell?"
Wandy is not that good,
Morales is ok but the rest of the group is only so-so at best.
"Fantasy, reality, science Fiction. Which is which? Who can tell?"
No
Wandy is roster filler, Morales is a mediocre 1B (though an upgrade over LaRoche). Matusz is a good pitcher but Lincecum is elite, and Taylor is all projection at a position where you are already relatively deep
No salaries and 12 keepers?
Keep Lincecum, no question. Yeah, he’s an injury risk, but so is Matusz and Wandy. And as good as Kendry is, he’s not that good.
