2 for 1 Keeper Trades

[floyd1313]

At the bottom of my 8-player keeper pile I have more guys than I can keep, and in order to remedy the situation, I'd like to complete a 2 for 1 to maximize on my talent base...which is very strong.

My lower guys:
McLouth
Oswalt
Lackey
Stephen Drew

I want to keep a pitcher to pair with Lincecum, I'd prefer to trade one rather than drop one since they are both strong enough to be taken in the top eight rounds. I like Drew since there is such a steep drop-off at the SS position and somebody else will almost definitely grab him before I get my hands on him if he is dropped. McLouth is not in consideration for being dropped...only traded. And I don't really want to trade McLouth unless I get some speed back...since I don't have a great steals guy (Beltran and Phillips are the others).

Ideas I have tossed around:
--Lackey for Chris Davis (was offered this...Lackey more coveted player and would still have to drop Drew)

--Lackey and McLouth for Ichiro (was offered this...could do better than Ichiro though)

--Lackey and McLouth for Adrian Gonzalez (would give me a top 1B to pair with Miguel Cabrera who I believe still has 3B this year...would lose SB's)

--Bay, McLouth and Lackey for Longoria and Ichiro (just thought this one up and haven't really processed it yet...get my 3B and get my steals back)

My head is gonna explode...can some fantasy gods give me some great advice?

I like Lackey more than Oswalt, so I'd look to deal him instead... I think you are undervaluing Lackey too much

Keep Lackey and try to deal off Oswalt for a solid hitter that fits your team

This is the deal I like the best for ya. Also who are your other keepers?

i might do the gonzalez deal or longoria deal!

Anyways, you have to keep stephen drew. a great ss is harder to find than a quality pitcher. come on.

Try to do this:

Deal Oswalt + McClouth for a stud 1b or 3b (maybe fielder?)
a 3b would mean more to you for your future.

you could have mcab at 3b this year but 1b after.

you have to find a way to keep drew and lackey (he's been really steady).
