I would, Kinsler is right up there with Utley and you have the SP depth to handle losing Haren.

not me. you are going from the #3/4 2B to the #1/2 2B so the upgrade while it is an upgrade is not a significant upgrade. not enough of an upgrade to give up the #7-10 SP.

I still wouldn't do it for Lee instead of Haren. I just don't think the move from Phillips to Kinsler is that drastic. Unless you're in love with Kinsler and can't stand Phillips (which is a recipe for losing in fantasy sports: man-love). I just think you'd be better off sticking with what you've got and dominating pitching cats.

Help with mine? http://www.fantasybaseballcafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=370909

Wouldn't do that trade. Ever. You got a pretty nice team as is.

Don't do it. Phillips is still up there with the top couple 2B, and Haren is too much of an ace to give up for a bump at a hitting position.

help?

I agree - its too much to give up. If you can substitute Haren for someone considerably less impressive, go for it. But your team is strong. Don't make a trade just to make a trade.

I wouldn't do it either even with Lee instead of Haren. Kinsler is great but Phillips isnt a slacker either.

please help
