Rollins/Holliday/Dye for Reyes/StevenDrew/Pence? WHIR

[GrandAdmiralDan]

12-team mixed H2H
Hitting cats: R, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, BB, E, AVG, OBP, SLG, NSB
Pitching cats: IP, W, L, CG, SV, ER, K, HLD, ERA, WHIP, K/9, QS, NSV

26 man roster:
C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, IF, OF, OF, OF, Util, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, RP, P, P, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL, DL, DL

I'm punting on most of the pitching and will attempt to use my empty roster spots for streaming my way to winning the IP, W, K, and QS cats.

Here is my current roster:
C,3B LAD Russell Martin
1B SD Adrian Gonzalez
2B BOS Dustin Pedroia
3B,1B DET Miguel Cabrera
SS PHI Jimmy Rollins
IF 1B,3B TEX Hank Blalock
OF OAK Matt Holliday
OF CWS Jermaine Dye
OF LAD Andre Ethier
Util OF PHI Jayson Werth
BN OF WAS Lastings Milledge
BN OF COL Brad Hawpe
BN OF MIN Denard Span
BN OF BAL Adam Jones
BN 1B CWS Paul Konerko
BN C,1B,3B SF Pablo Sandoval
BN OF FLA Jeremy Hermida
BN 2B MIN Alexi Casilla
BN OF KC Coco Crisp
BN OF TOR Travis Snider
BN 1B,OF LAA Kendry Morales

SP LAA Joe Saunders
SP PIT Paul Maholm
SP HOU Wandy Rodrigues
Then I have 2 empty roster spots I will use to stream SPs daily. I am hopefully going to consolidate some of my hitting talent in one or two greater for fewer trades, which will create 1-3 additional empty roster spots to be used for streaming.

If I trade away Rollins, Holliday, and Dye, and wind up with Jose Reyes, Stephen Drew, and Hunter Pence, is that a good deal for me? Is that something the other manager would do? He actually wouldn't be getting Dye. His OF is full, and would need an IF to replace Drew, so I would be doing this as a 3 team deal. Dye would be going for either Huff or Jeter, and than that player would wind up going along with Rollins and Holliday for Reyes, Drew, and Pence.

I know giving up Holliday in this is quite a bit for me to be giving up, but in a league that has triples for a category, I think this trade really solidifies that category for me. And currently, I only have one SS on my team.

My new lineup would look like this:
C,3B LAD Russell Martin
1B SD Adrian Gonzalez
2B BOS Dustin Pedroia
3B,1B DET Miguel Cabrera
SS NYM Jose Reyes
IF SS ARI Stephen Drew
OF HOU Hunter Pence
OF PHI Jayson Werth
OF LAD Andre Ethier
Util OF WAS Lastings Milledge
BN OF COL Brad Hawpe
BN OF MIN Denard Span
BN OF BAL Adam Jones
BN 1B,3B TEX Hank Blalock
BN 1B CWS Paul Konerko
BN C,1B,3B SF Pablo Sandoval
BN OF FLA Jeremy Hermida
BN 2B MIN Alexi Casilla
BN OF KC Coco Crisp
BN OF TOR Travis Snider
BN 1B,OF LAA Kendry Morales

I then plan on trying to trade Hunter Pence and Lastings Milledge (perhaps more) for one OF who is better than Pence, allowing me to also move Brad Hawpe into my starting lineup and give me another empty roster spot. I am also planning on trading Coco Crisp, Travis Snider, and Paul Maholm for Felipe Lopez. That might seem like a lot for Lopez, but I am convinced having him on my team would be more beneficial to me than the guys I'd be giving up. That would create two more empty roster spots to use for streaming, too.

Anyway, I'm pretty set in my ways about that last part there, but it is the first part I need advice on. My instinct is to go for it.

Going by 2008 stats (not the best measure, but a practical indicator), I am taking a hit in NSB by getting back only 42 while giving up 71. I take a lesser hit in SB, getting back 70 only while giving up 78. I think this is offset because it allows me to make Milledge an everyday starter instead of Blalock. So while I'm taking out 79 SB and 72 NSB out of my starting lineup, I'm putting in 94 SB and 85 NSB. True, I won't have Milledge coming off my bench anymore, but that will create more PT for Adam Jones and Denard Span, among others.
