I started to write something, then realized that what I was gonna say, and implicit in explaining to you how the trade benefits you, also contains some information which might fall into the category of "Strategy Tips".

So I'll just sit with my 25 starts in hand and hope that they turn out to be worth 300 points or so, and hope that my .30 FPPG advantage in offense turns out to be worth another 200 points or so over the next 600 games, and hope that it's all enough to offset your 400 point lead plus or minus whatever the differences are in the unpredictable area of relief pitching.

But I made some notes, and when the season is over I'll explain to you how replacing Zambrano with Tejada would've projected you for more points than than you'd be projected for by not making the trade.

Let's even simplify it....make the deal Zambrano for Tejeda straight up.

BTW, anyone with a SP comparable to Zambrano that wants to trade him for Tejada, lemme know.
