How can I ensure that my trade offers are considered?  I have offered about five trades over the last few weeks, but the other owners don't respond.  I have a great pitching staff, but I could use some power.  Any suggestions on how to offer a good trade? - Joel Jupp, Aurora (Chicago), IL

B.F.: If you're in a single-game league against strangers, you might have just gotten unlucky with a delinquent group of owners. It's always frustrating when owners don't respond to trade offers. If they're your friends -- feel free to stalk them and annoy them into making a trade. Perhaps you're offering lopsided trades in your favor and the owners don't take you seriously. It that's the case, just keep making offers until someone accepts.

I have been offered Barry Zito for Francisco Liriano in a keeper league. The other guy has a lot of big name starters including Schmidt and Halladay. Liriano would be one of the players that I keep for seasons to come, but I am thin at SP and currently in second place. Should I ask for more for Liriano, or just hold onto him and trust that he develops into a Santana-esque player? - Ethan, Dallas, TX

B.F.: Listen very carefully. Do not trade Francisco Liriano in a keeper league. Period. By the way, he's already better than Zito.

I am in a 10-team head to head league.  As an A's fan, I've recently been offered Rich Harden in exchange for Brandon Webb straight up.  I know that Webb is obviously the better pitcher so far, but going forward should I expect him to continue to out-produce Harden? Harden was, after all, the higher projected pitcher at the beginning of the season. -Cameron, Sacramento, CA

B.F.: I'm including this e-mail this week simply to show how one decision could make or break a Fantasy season. On Tuesday, this poor guy was thinking about trading one of the game's hottest pitchers for Harden. It's Thursday and Harden is out indefinitely. Hey Cameron -- hopefully you kept Webb.

As a result of Albert Pujols landing on the DL, one of the owners in my league has offered me Pujols for David Wright. I do have Mark Teixeira at first base, but I feel like anybody would love Tex and Pujols at first base and utility. Since I can start both, and have Kevin Youkilis to fill in for Wright at third, should I pull the trigger? - Carlos Ortiz, Ossining, NY

B.F.: I'd go for Pujols because his stats, once he returns, combined with Youkilis' numbers over that time, should crush Wright's cumulative totals. In a Head-to-Head league, you might be better off keeping Wright unless you already have a big lead. You probably can't afford to lose for five weeks while waiting on Pujols. That said, if you have a favorable record and can afford to drop a few games in the coming weeks -- go out and get the best player in baseball.

I have been offered in our keeper league Jake Peavy and Jered Weaver for Roger Clemens. Should I pull the trigger? Peavy's recent shoulder problems scare me a bit and I'm reluctant to make the deal. Thank you. - Craig Parascak, Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada

B.F.: Peavy is probably just as good (if not better) of a bet over the remainder of the season than Clemens. Weaver, who is pitching better than Peavy, is an elite youngster to own in a keeper league. The Rocket is great, but I'd take two young studs over one old stud in a keeper format. Just cross your fingers and hope that Peavy isn't hiding an injury.
