Gardner/Fuentes for Drew/Thornton?(WHIR)

[kidsilk]

I have been offered Brett Gardner and Brian Fuentes for my JD Drew and Matt Thornton. It is an AL only league, 12 teams, 30 man rosters(very deep). I need another closer to add next to Morrow and my best area is OF. The cats are 6x6 with BB and HLDs also involved. His other OFs are Juan Rivera, Ryan Freel, WIgginton, Ellsbury. Would you do this deal as is or ask for another OF or just dont do it at all? Thanks and leave your links.

This deal is fine for you. Trade from your strength to fill a need. Fuentes is a top notch closer in an AL-only and Gardner is a nice sleeper who could help out in a few areas. Drew gets a boost with BBs as a cat as does Thornton with holds but I think you get enough in return here to do this as is.

Do the deal. Drew won't get 400 ABs, and Gardner is a nice speed thread to get in return. Plus, while Fuentes is shaky, he is indeed the closer now so you win that half of the deal easily.
