I'm relatively new to fantasy baseball, and the hardest thing for me to grasp has been the relative trade value of players, especially in my roto league. There have been deals done, by others, that I look at and say, "why in the hell did you make that move?'

This is a 12 team dynasty league, 5X5 scoring, with a 40 man roster and we keep 25. In addition we maintain a 10 man minor league roster. The latest offer proposed to me was

My: McCutchen and Josh Johnson

for

His: Adam Jones, Michael Brantley, and Chad Billingsly

Am I missing something..this looks like a horrible trade for me? I get trade offers like this from this owner all the time and have never come close to accepting one.

I love McCutchen but I would trade him, if the price is right, but that doesn't look close -->
