12 Team H2H -- Trading up to #11 overall

[bbroydri]

I currently sit in a 12 team Yahoo H2H league. 10 x 10 categories. I currently hold the #1 overall pick which I plan on using on Albert Pujols. I have an offer on the table where I would recieve the #11 overall pick in exchange for my 2nd round (24th overall) and 5th round pick. My orginal plan called for me to take Manny with #24(2nd round) and Ichiro with #25(3rd round). Would you rather have a Albert Pujols + Kinsler/Hamilton/Braun/Pedroia......or a Pujols/Manny/Ichiro combo?

i would definitely do this deal if i were you

you end up with two first round picks which should get your team started off greatly...you lose your second round pick, which is really the same as your third round pick (which you are keeping), so you gain there...the fifth round pick you give up hurts a little, but id much rather have the two first rounders

I wouldn't do that this year just because I'm not a huge fan of most of the guys going in the 10-12 range. Really don't think Braun will be there, and you would still be getting really good / great players at #24 and 49. If you really like Kinsler, Hamilton, Tex, Utley, or whoever you think you could take there then its not a bad trade, just not one I would make.
