Trading a closer

[Robert1977]

I'm in a 12-team 6X6 NL-only with a $271 cap. My keeper hitters stink, and I don't think I have the team to contend for first or second place. I'd like to finish in the money, though, and I think I can.

My keeper hitters are Hart at $5 and Gaby Sanchez at $1.

I have been trying to deal Matt Lindstrom ($7), because there's no way I'm going to be able to compete for points in saves since a huge portion of my money will go to hitting and not a closer. Now, I'm hping he's OK after being removed from the U.S. game tonight.

With that said, I have been offered Brian Giles ($7) for Lindstrom, and I have been offered Travis Ishikawa ($1) and Miguel Montero ($3) for Lindstrom. Should I do either of these deals? Or should I hang on to Lindstrom?

Lindstrom for Giles - A tough call, can Giles keep doing it at 38, but he is an OPS machine. I personally like Lindstrom a lot. I think he'll get a ton of saves this year.

Lindstrom - Ishakawa/Montero - Rumor mill Montero might go to the Red Sox. If your willing to bet on that happening, then maybe. I like this one better than Lindstrom for Giles, because of the potential for Montero to see regular time as the Red Sox catcher. If your willing to take the risk on the trade happening, this one might be worth it.

In my NL-only, I'd lose Montero and get the players the D-Backs get in return. I like Ishikawa at $1, but I'm still unsure whether I should pull the trigger on this.
