no shot, otsuka will get plenty of save opportunities (if the ranges keep scoring and their pitching holds up) while sheffield is a HOFer and in the yankee line up, he will get plenty of RBI opportunities. jason bay is just on a hot streak right now. in the pirates line up he won't get the opportunities to drive in runs that gary does.

actually it looks like Bay may repeat his 2005 numbers, may increase in HR's, probably equal or exceed his RBI and run totals and also his BA and OBP, not really a hot streak, he is the real deal but playing for a crappy club. Is this a keeper league? If so I would pull the trigger on it, Bay has more upside, even on the Pirates IMO than Sheffield with the Yankees, since keepers are for the long haul.  The only problem I would have with keeping Otsuka is that he plays for the Rangers, inevitably the heat of the Texas summer and that hitters park will get to him so I don't see him lasting much longer, though as a Ranger fan I hope he does but history has not shown me otherwise with Rangers pitching.

Yes, especially if it is a keeper league.

I have Bay and he's hot no doubt. I wouldn't make that trade though- you didn't say which side you were on but the person getting Bay and giving up two productive players is gettin ripped a little.

I also have Sexson and I'll trade him for pack of baseball cards right now - the hot streaks come and go.

My sentiments exactly.

Jason Bay is gonna have a huge year. Sheffield will get hurt again before the year is over and will miss about 20 more games. Otsuka could slide out of the closers role at a moment's notice with a bad week. You know how these relievers are.

Otsuka = pitches for the Strangers, as in 81 games annually in Arlington. He's holding the spot for the incumbant closer, imho.

Sheffield = end of the career rapidly approaching. When his hands slow just a tad he'll miss on half of those HRs and 2Bs.

Bay = Just getting started.

Here's what I'd do. I'd milk Otsuka for 2 more weeks of saves. Then do the deal.

PS Get something back for your pitching staff. Find a middle reliever type who'll get 50 IP the rest of the way with an ERA around 3.00 and a WHIP around 1.10, or less.

Go to "closer watch" and see who is #2 for some folks. Maybe they are available for the lump of coal you pick up in the deal and then waive to get this #2.

There's an odd karma working here. I will NOT be posting about any of my players for the forseeable future.
