This offer is hard to turn down....but....

[18 and 1]

I really like Matt Wieters and hate to part with him.

Dynasty league - 12 teams, keep all, no salaries, 34 man rosters, start 13 pos, 9 pitchers (3 must be SP).

UPDATE: The new offer was Matt Cain and Broxton for Wieters. I declined. Am I nuts? I can't believe I holding to my guns like this, but I truly believe Wieters is going to be all that.

Previous Offer -

I've been offered Clayton Kershaw and Tim Beckham for Matt Wieters. I hate to part with Wieters, but this is a pretty good offer. The problem I have with it, is that I prefer Wieters over Kershaw, and it's going to be a pretty good wait for Beckham. Would you pull the trigger, or stand pat and keep Wieters?

i wouldnt do that, you dont need kershaw that much considering hamels, felix, price, and gallardo all all under 25 i think, plus santana, lee and halladay...your staff is set for years, whereas this could be the last year vmart even keeps catcher eligibility, making wieters even more valuable...and i think wieters will do at least what soto did as a rookie, probably better...itd take more for me to trade him

[ensanimal]

I would pass on that deal. I love Weiters and think he'll outperform Kershaw easily for years. As was mentioned, your staff is pretty much set already for the future, making Kershaw a little less valuable.

Your minor league squad is pretty stacked as well, so Beckham isn't necessary again.

[San D]

I'd stand pat as well. Some prospect sites actually rank Kershaw above Weiters and Beckham as a throw in is nice. However, I personally prefer Weiters over both of them combined.

[coop777]

agreed..a freebie like wieters is worth more than that...

[kab21]

Stick with Wieters. You don't have catching depth, but you do have pitching depth.

[18 and 1]

Thanks for the replies I decided to turn down his offer. With V-Mart probably losing catcher eligibility after 2009, Wieters is worth a lot more to me than what he offered.

[kcbrett5]

I would stick with Wieters as well. He looks like the real deal. You have a great pitching staff.
Stay put.

[MadDog36]

Hey keep Wieters.

Vmart is your catcher to start the year. That's great insurance. Your team is set minus a good SS. It would be risky but if you could land a drew or Missile for Vmart I'd chance it.

Agree you have plenty of young pitching already and Wieters could be huge as soon as next year
