Trade Help

Postby aguilafan » Sat Dec 06, 2008 1:44 pm

Hey my keeper league is doing a draft tomorrow and I have the first overall pick, which I intend to use to draft Matt Wieters. However yesterday I was offered a trade for my pick in which I would recieve Taylor Teagarden, Chase Headley, and a 7th overall pick. Would you recommend taking the deal or keeping the pick. My team is listed below:

Who are the best 3 players likely to be available at 7? On the face of it, this deal doesn't look worth it.

I don't like it. Many have said they haven't seen a player w/ Wieters' skills in years - a once in a decade prospect.

You have to hold on to the pick here, and enjoy Wieters for years to come.

Those two minors aren't worth Weiters. Unless there is some amazing player that will fall to you at 7th then stand pat. Wieters is as sure of a thing as you can get in the minors. Headley hasn't shown much when given playing time and Teagarden is an average C.
