It's 3am and i really need a quick answer to this so can make a decison before this guys wakes up and possibly decides to retract his offer. The other forum is empty. THanks a lot.
here's the trade:
I give Figgins
I get G. Anderson
12 TEAM LEAGUE-6 TEAM AL DIVISION H2H 5X5
C-V. Martinez, 1B-Teixiera, 2B-Figgins
SS- Tejada, 3B- Chavez
OF-Sheffield, OF- Winn, OF- Crisp
Util- M. Young, Util- D. Young
SP- R. Johnson, Halladay, Bedard, Chacin, C. Young, Escobar-DL, Harden-DL
RP- Ryan, Baez, Shileds, Duchscherer, Sisco
I'd rather have Figgins. GA is fine, but he is not a uniquely talented OF at this point. On the flip side, Figgins steals tons and you can plug him in anyplace depending on matchups.
I'd have to say yes to this trade... a healthy Anderson is pretty much a lock for 80/25/100 with a .300 BA. Figgins might bounce back, and his multi-position eligibility is nice, but he looks like he's turning into a single-category guy.
Also, Iguchi's starting to look like the real deal. I don't think Figgins will beat his value by much when all is said and done.

Adding Anderson means you have to bench Winn. You lose steals there, not to mention you lose them when you disperse Figgins. Doesn't look like you have a 2b replacement anyhow. I'd stay put unless you have a decent option at 2b outside Figgins.
EDIT : Just saw you had Iguchi, so I would probably pull the trigger on this trade if I were you. Your net production increases.

Is it close enough to where I should counter and try to get more while at the sam etime risking that i might not be able get this deal again when he wakes up and sees that figgins had another 0'fer.
I think I'll change my mind and urge you take the deal. Looks as though you need to upgrade the power and production, in which case GA does offer you more overall upside.
