Ok so I had two things going against me with this being my first year and second missing the draft being busy with school. This wasted my 1st pick wainwright and I had no closer. But I worked on some trades and the rest of my team didn't seem to poor. Well now I am 2-12 with this team. I feel like my hitting has been mostly solid when not struggling with the DL. My pitching I am not as sure about. With this being a dynasty league I am wondering what to do with some of my players. The way it works is we build a list of 10 keepers and lose 2 to randomness. Anyone under 2 years in the league or a minor league guy we keep automatically. Currently I am sitting on zero 1st round picks and then 3 2nd round picks followed by 1 one of each. With my season in the gutter I am wondering if I should package out someone like Konkero or Lind to grab help somewhere else or for picks for next year. Bell while having a lot of value is just someone I am not willing to get rid of due to closers being so hard to come by. In case you need to know this the way scoring works is based on stat. Get points based on how much of a stat you have like fantasy football. Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok so I got a trade offer.
Lind, Kuroda and Duffy for
Smoak, Daniel Bard and Kyle Seager. Along with a 1st round 2012 pick and a 2nd round 2013 pick. By league rules Seager and Smoak will be auto keepers for me.

I say no to that.
Lind is the best player, and is also better than that 1st round pick.

Trade Zimmerman first.

He's only going to sit on your bench because of injuries for a good portion of the season but there still should be someone who will give you maybe 1-2 prospects for him

Trade Lind, but in a better deal.

You will be rebuilding for a while with that roster but it's all about patience and making smart moves.

OK so after working on trades I did this one
Lind and Romero for
2012 1st 2012 2nd 2013 2nd 2014 3rd
Daniel Bard
Kyle Seager
I liked this trade with the Rp pick up who has a good shot at being the CL for Boston next year.

Now I just got another trade on the board
Beltran and Danny Duffy(who I am very weary of trading)
For
2013 2nd
Brain Roberts BAL
Fernando Sales STL
Justin Smoak SEA

Now I don't mind dealing Beltran while he is worth something and I am having a hard enough time as it is picking my 10 keepers. This guy has sent several offers for Duffy I know he really wants him but without him I have no extra SP. But along with Sales, Bard and Bell I could be sitting pretty with CL for next year to trade around. Knowing how bad he wants Duffy I feel I could ask for more.

Ok so I told him of how I was weary to send Duffy and he added Fausto Carmona and Chien-Mieng ****. My problem with these guys is that I am not looking to win this year and I am trying to figure out my keepers. Again I have no problem moving Beltran but I would have Duffy for the next two seasons without having to use a keeper spot on him.

Ok update, waited long enough and found out he also really wants Beltran as he dropped Duffy. Got the 2nd pick, Brian Roberts, Fausto Carmona and Justin Smoak. Ok so since I am clearly in rebuilding, with just Konerko and Zimmerman as my last two big guys should I look to find new homes for them or just hold onto them for now?
