Hey I have considered taking offers for Hanley Ramirez and I got 4 offers from people. Out of the 4 I am strongly giving 2 good consideration so which one would make my team stronger
First here's my team Standard 5X5 H2H C Mike Napoli 1B Adrian Gonzales 2B Dan Uggla 3B Garret Atkins SS Hanley Ramirez OF Jason Bay OF Ryan Ludwick OF Jay Bruce UTL Edwin Encarnacion B Jason Giambi B Willy Tavares
SP Jake Peavy SP Dan Haren RP Matt Capps RP Mike Gonzales P Brandon Morrow P Gavin Floyd P Jair Jurrjens P Oliver Perez P Todd Wellemeyer P Jesse Litsch
Here are my trade offers
1. SS Hanley Ramirez OF Jay Bruce SP Jesse Litsch
FOR
2B Robinson Cano OF Matt Holiday SP Randy Johnson SP Chris Volstad
+ Improves my OF and kindof improves my pitching - I don't get a SS in return and have to drop someone, don't need Cano
2. SS Hanley Ramirez OF Jason Bay SP Gavin Floyd
FOR
SS Alexei Ramirez(2B,OF) OF Grady Sizemore SP Josh Johnson
+ Improves my OF a little I don't take a huge drop in SS and Johnson has great potiential, Ramirez can be OF or 2B as well - This involes trading my best OF to make the upgrade and Johnson is injury prone
3. SS Hanley Ramirez OF Ryan Ludwick SP Todd Wellemeyer
FOR
SS Johnny Peralta OF Nick Markakis SP Jon Lester
+ I upgrade OF and SP and don't have to trade Bay to do so. - might not be full value for Hanley
4. SS Hanley Ramirez OF Jason Bay SP Jesse Litsch
FOR
SS Michael Young C Dionner Navarro OF Magglio Ordonez SP Kyle Lohse
+ very little - I don't need a catcher, I don't really upgrade significantly anywhere I rejected this deal initially instead of Lohse I was offerred Huston Street but I don't need a 4th closer and Street might not be a closer to begin with.
So out of all of these offers I like 2 and 3 the best should I do one or the other or just keep my roster as it is.
If any of them I'd maybe consider Ramirez, Ludwick, Wellemeyer FOR Peralta, Nick Markakis, Lester
You'd be getting a better SP and Markakis is a nice upgrade over Ludwick, but I don't think that deal's enough for what you're giving up in Hanley. Can you post this guy's roster so we can see what he has to offer, in full?
C Matt Wieters 1B Lance Berkman 2B Jose Lopez 3B Miguel Cabrera SSJohnny Peralta OF Carl Crawford OF Nick Markakis OF Vladimir Gurerro UTL Curtis Granderson B Lastings Milledge
SP Ervin Santana SP Roy Oswalt RP Heath Bell RP Manuel Corpas P Jon Lester P Zack Grienke P Yovani Gallardo P Scott Baker P John Danks P Joey Devine P Scott Downs
Players in bold are what was offerred to me
And I'll post the entire team from the offer from #2 C Ryan Dourmit 1B Jorge Cantu (3B) 2B Alexei Ramirez(SS,OF) 3B Arimis Ramirez SS Khalil Greene OF Grady Sizemore OF Carlos Quentin OF Corey Hart UTL Tori Hunter B Xavier Nady
SP Ryan Dempster SP Rich Harden RP Francisco Cordero RP Brian Fuentes P Josh Johnson P Ubaldo Jiminez P Anthony Reyes P Justin Duchscherer P David Price P Edwin Jackson P Trevor Hoffman
If you can get Cabrera instead of Markakis I would consider it, but otherwise I would hold onto Hanley, none of those deals are good enough to deal him for the sake of dealing him
