Second trade in Yahoo F&F League

Posted by Paul Singman at 6:54pm

Yesterday I completed my second one-for-one swap in the Yahoo! F&F League, this time sending Placido Polanco packing (with no hard feelings) to acquire Brett Gardner. Currently I am in third in the league even though I am last in the steals category with 15, and a handful of teams are only a few steals ahead of me. While Polanco is a good average, run and RBI contributor, I was going to have to acquire a steals guy at some point in the season.

And in my opinion, I acquired one of the elite basestealers in the majors for a relatively expendable player. My middle infield is definitely thin as a result of the trade—Adam Rosales will have to hold down the position until something can be done—but with Gardner in my lineup, I feel confident my team will gain quite a few points in the steals category in the immediate future.

There is nothing more satisfying than having a player with a visible impact.
