I'm in a 6x6 keeper league (with OBP & SLG instead of AVG, and with holds) with 10 teams. We must choose our 10 keepers by this Sunday and I"m down to 11 players. In the meantime, I've been offered Joe Mauer for Jay Bruce... should I do it? I'm aware of Mauer's injury concerns but because of positional scarcity and my relative depth at OF for the year, I'm leaning towards doing the deal. I just wanted some more opinions because Bruce's massive upside and Mauer's back pain concern me. Here the 11 I'm considering keeping...
1B- Teixeira
2B- B.Roberts
SS- J.Rollins
OF- Sizemore, Ichiro, Bruce, Abreu, A.Dunn
SP- Lackey, C.Lee, Nolasco.
As you can see, Mauer would provide me a top tier Catcher so I'm leaning towards doing it. I'm also desperately trying to pull a 2 for 1 deal involving C.Lee and either Abreu or Dunn to upgrade a SP. Thanks in advance for the feedback!
