I would not do it. Wright is going to be consistent...he will give you 30 HR, 110 RBI, 100 Runs, 20 steals. I am not sold on Quentin just yet or Atkins. I don't think this deal helps you out that much. You will lose SB and only gain a little in the power department (considering your current OF of: Wells, Ludwick, and Suzuki) if you gain Quentin.
Wright is a top 5, possibly top 3 player. NO WAY

NO WAY. Don't even consider it. BAD, BAD, TRADE.

I was offered Cabrera for Wright straight up...but I declined. Any thoughts on that trade?

3b thins out more so than 1b. For that reason, and Wrights ability to steal more than Miggy, makes it a no-brainer and a no-trade for D Wright before the season starts.

Cool sounds good, thanks for the tips. Looking at my team itself, would I need to improve anywhere? My 2b/ss/c seem thin. Any thoughts?

2b and ss are your weak links. you won't be able to trade for a top 2b or ss w/out giving something away (in this case I think most would want Wright included in that trade). I am a big fan of Jose Lopez (seatle's 2b). He is probably not available, but I wonder if you could conjure up a trade that would include fausto carmona & F Lopez for Jose Lopez & one of their pitchers ( I am not too big on Fausto esp in yahoo 5x5 roto league). I think Carmon's name may still carry a little fantasy trade weight to it as a potential bounce-back candidate. I personally don't think he will bounce back.
You can then slide Aviles into ss and Jose Lopez into 2nd w/ basically giving up Carmona.

Ok this dude is getting serious now...he's sending Atkins/Quentin/Roberts for Wright/Hunter...should I again pass on it??

Dude as you are reading this you should HIT ACCEPT!!! You are gaining a boost in steals and HRs. Plus more importantly you are gaining some major depth. Once again HIT ACCEPT!!!

[prophet_x]

I couldnt pass it up, so i accepted. hope i didnt make the wrong move.
