Postby sman » Sat Mar 07, 2009 8:57 pm

I am in a head to head ten team keeper league on Yahoo! which uses these stats R, H, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OBP, W, CG, SHO, SV, K, ERA, WHIP, K/BB.

My Roster
C Matt Wieters
1B Justin Morneau
2B Ian Kinsler
3B Chipper Jones
SS Rafael Furcal
OF Ichiro Suzuki
OF Ryan Ludwick
OF Shane Victorino
Util Corey Hart
BN Adrian Beltre

SP Johan Santana
SP Chad Billingsley
RP Joe Nathan
RP Chad Qualls
P Cliff Lee
P Ryan Dempster
P Frank Francisco
BN Zack Greinke
BN Javier Vazquez
BN Ubaldo Jimenez
BN Randy Johnson

Another owner has offered me Matt Garza and Carlos Pena for Justin Morneau? Should I do the deal?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Your pitching is already very deep, that its definiely not worth the drop from Morneau to Pena, just to get Garza.

I wouldn't do that trade. You would have to drop a player , so it's not really a 2 for 1. Then you have to figure that there's a pretty good chance Wieters will start the year at AAA . That means you'll have to drop another player.
Your roster is just not right for that trade.

Hang onto Morneau, that's not enough in return for him.

No, you'll find a dozen more Matt Garza's in your free agent pool if you take a look. They just use an alias but their the same guy.

Thanks for your advice.

I agree with everyone that you should definitely keep Morneau.

Keep Morneau -- Pena is too inconsistent to swap for Morneau, plus Garza wouldn't crack your 5 of SP.

thanks for the help w/ mine!

Keep Morneau.

Pena will kill your average, and Garza is a bench pitcher for you.

Plus, you'd have to make a drop, making it less of an addition.
