So I just had a draft that went really well but I've left myself a little short at SP. I love my team but I'm worried that I won't compete with others until 2 months into the year when I have all my pitching back so I'm looking to make a trade. Here are the particulars:
10 team, 5x5, h2h, keeper (capped at 7):
MY Ian Kinsler for HIS Dustin Pedroia and Jon Lester
I'd hate to lose Kinsler but he's proven to be very injury prone and I think I can stand to lose a little offense. Here's my current squad:
C Navarro 1B Howard 2B Kinsler 3B Miggy SS Tejada CI Reynolds MI Andrus OF Sizemore OF Hamilton OF Manny OF Tavares UTIL Ortiz BEN Wieters BEN J. Upton
SP Hamels SP Wainwright RP Soria RP Devine P Josh Johnson P Danks P Maine BEN Cueto DL Smoltz DL E. Santana
What do you think? Thanks, and leave a link, I'll help in kind.
You should take that deal immediately. That is a steal. Kinsler and Pedoria have almost the same value, plus getting Lester as a kicker, hit the accept button now, and hope it doesn't get vetoed.
So one person says absolutely, the other says he wouldn't do it...any other opinions? I'm leaning toward 'yes' but honestly am not sure at this point.
The other owner has already said he'd do it. I have to wait for Smoltz and Santana to go on the DL before I can pull the trigger anyway, so I'd like to get some more opinions.
First you need to ask yourself does this deal help him? What does he actually gain in the deal maybe some power maybe some SB, but he definitely loses something. Kinsler is a nice name to throw around in a trade, but does he have the staff to take the hit of losing Lester, that is the real question you must ask yourself. Now if he is enamored with Kinsler he may make that deal, but if I am him I probably wouldnt. Good Luck

I see what you're saying and generally I'd agree with you...the thing is, the other owner already said he'd do it, he's a Yankees fan and has 4 Red Sox on his roster...his bias is my gain I guess, cause I do agree that while he's getting the better player I'm not sure there's much of a difference between Kinsler and Pedroia.
I would make that deal, you lose very little between Pedroia and Kinsler and you get Lester to go along with it... If this offer is already on the board then log in and take it!

I absolutely love Kinsler and think he moderately outperforms Pedroia this year (if healthy). BUT I STILL DO THE DEAL...Lester more than makes up the difference!
