NL only league, 5 X 5

I have Kevin Brown @ $17. I am in first but need to gain SB and Saves. I
can't find what I want using Brown as bait. Am I overrating his keeper
value?? I mean he is a $30 pitcher or damn near this year. I'd just like to
hear other's opinions.

He's risky because he's injury-prone. If he's healthy, he's great. But a 38
year-old pitcher who's had two of his last three seasons severely shortened due
to injury is not an especially attractive keeper. If you were offering him to
me, I might do it if I didn't have to give up too much to get him. Jorge Julio
and Alex Sanchez? In a heartbeat. Gagne and Juan Pierre? Newp.

Well, he's certainly got keeper value. No doubt about that. Just ask
yourself what you think he'd go for next year - if there's no injury
before then it will sure as hell be more than $17, especially with
inflation.

That said, there's no reason to think he won't be one of the top NL
starters the rest of the year. So what would be reasonable for him?
If you wouldn't need a starter back, I could see something like Brown
and a throw-in hitter for A) Lofton and Isringhausen, B) Pierre and a
Kolb/Lincoln/Stanton type, or C) Smoltz/Gagne and Womack.

Those are the types of deals which come to mind...This late in the
season, if someone is dumping, you should definitely get more.
Assuming Brown's worth $30 here on out, I'd be looking for $50+ of
value for him. Thus the above deals (assuming all the players you'd
be getting are full-priced).

Too many trips to the DL.
