10 team league. H2H league. 6x6 w/ OBP and IP as the extra categories. My strategy this year is simple - load up on power. I'm trying to make a move for R. Howard.

Here was my first offer (just to see where the owner stood);

I give: Adrian Gonzales, A. Harang
I get: R. Howard

Should I try to give up a better pitcher? Gallardo? Maybe a closer, M. Gonzales? How about another bat like Ludwick or Abreu or maybe try C. Davis as he has C. Jones as his starting 3B.

Suggestions appreciated.

My team:
C: Sandoval
1B: A. Gonzales
2B: C. Utley
3B: M. Cabrera
SS: S. Drew
OF: M. Ramirez
OF: R. Ludwick
OF: B. Abreu
UTIL: D. Ortiz
BN: N. Cruz (OF), A. Rodriquez (3B), C. Davis (1B/3B)

Pitching: Felix, Gallardo, Vazquez, Bedard, Harang, Wang, Carmona
RP: Qualls, Gonzalez, Bell, Francisco.

His team:
C: McCann
1B: R. Howard
2B: M. Aviles
3B: C. Jones
SS: M. Young
OF: Hamilton
OF: Crawford
OF: J. Bay
UTIL: H. Pence
BN: J. Upton (OF), Either (OF), Lopez (1b/2b), J. Giambi (1B)

Pitching: Hamels, AJ Burnett, Lester, J. Johnson, Sheets, Randy J, J. Weaver
RP: F. Rodriquez, BJ Ryan, Lindstrom.

I don't think your pitching staff can withstand losing gallardo. You could combo A Gon with Abreu for Howard. You have Nelson cruz on your bench who could nicely fill that spot. Its tough though in a ten manager league because all the players on the squads are good. Your best bet might be to pose this question to the other manager to find out what he thinks he needs.
