In a H2H dynasty league, should I trade Cueto and Adam Jones for Carlos Zambrano?

My OF is Crawford, Granderson, Kemp with Jones on the bench. Also have Heyward, F. Martinez, Saunders, Burgess, Halman in my minors.

Should I do it?

I would take Zambrano.

Help please!

No way.

A 6.2 K/9 in 2008 is a bright red warning sign that all those innings have caught up with Zambrano.
6.2 is reasonably pedestrian - at this stage Zambrano's name value is much higher then his actual value.

I tend to agree with the previous poster. Zambrano is still fairly young, but his decline in k's is really concerning. I personally want no part of Zambrano in any leagues going forward.

I wouldn't even do that trade in a regular league. In dynasty it's even worse. I see Cueto almost matching Zambrano this year , except in wins. And I like Jones going forward.

I'd much rather have Cueto and Adam Jones. Zambrano has great name value, but personally, I'm not all that high on him as his walk rate has caught up with him, not to mention the heavy workload he's undertaken the last few years (especially under Dusty Baker). Cueto's value is relatively low anyway, save for the hype he can receive as a post-hype sleeper.
