I tried puytting this in the general forum but got no responses. Maybe it'll fair better here. It's kind of a 'tweener.
I've been offered CC Sabathia for my Chris B. Young (ARZ), Andrew Miller and Anthony Reyes.
16 team 5x5. My team is loaded with few holes to fill and lots of young studs/prospects in the wings. I have Beltran and Crawford in the OF, with Matt Kemp, Billy Butler and Quentin to back them up. And I have a solid staff without CC that becomes one of the best in the league with him. I also have Hughes, Adam Miller and Phil Humber in the minors.
I think Sabathia is poised for great things and I'm always trying to win now, so prospects are usually trade bait. That said, there are teams a little more poised than me this year, even with CC, so I can potentially stand to sit tight and see how these guys pan out.
I tend to think it's giving up a lot of unknowns for a known, but considering how high these guys are being regarded, am I giving up too much?
