That's an outstanding deal, and I see no need to wait on this until you fix RP.

You know what you're getting with Aramis. .300/30+/100+

Davis will still see some growing pains and although its a possibility he matches Aramis' power numbers he'll do it with a much lower average. With Bengie easily replaced the trade is a no brainer IMO

Not to belabor the point - and I'm sure it's moot, as the poster has probably gone though with the deal, but I'm curious...

To those respondents who said make the deal, then go for RP help, just how was he supposed to do that? His only excess is in OF - but in a 10-team mixed league that starts 3 OF, he's not going to get anything back in return. Possibly Ludwick has trade value to someone desperate for power - but, again in that league, you're probably not going to find a team thats short of power.

He has (had?) one trade chip - Sandoval. Even in a 10-team, 1-catcher league, there are going to be three, maybe four owners who are not going to be happy with their lot. It might have even been the team he's trading with - certainly he values Molina (or has a man-crush on Davis).

First game is in what - 10 days? Is the trade offer with A-ram going away? If not, perhaps there'd be enough time to "check the waters" before diving in. In all likelihood, the RP situation is going to have to be solved via Waivers, and in a 10-team league, that's not such a bad prospect. Still though....

I think that the value here is too good to pass up. It's one of those deals you do even if you weren't looking for it; you dive in head first on this and worry about everything later. Just my $.02. :-)

Pull the trigger on this one and don't look back, A-Ram is one of the most consistent performers at an increasingly thin position

exactly. you're getting a bonafied top 3rd baseman for a player who could become one.

you don't wait 10 days to make a trade like this. chances are the other manager will come to his senses and pull the deal

I've projected very similar stats between Davis and Ramirez, except I expect a few more home-runs from Davis.

So, no, I wouldn't bother with that trade myself.
