Trade involving my Sabathia for his Manny, WHIR

[Barnes]

While talkiing with a friend, i threw outa trade just for the hell of it and it was my Sabathia and McCann for his Manny, and he said offer it. While this caught me off guard i'm not sure that i'll accpet, as i'm trading a top10 pitcher and McCann who is hte ebst at his position for a top 15 hitter. Is this a good trade, if not, can you see any other potential trades that woud benefit me? I'm looking for hitters, namely OF. Hewre are the rosters,

CC for manny straight up is fair. no way should you be tossing in mccann.

mine: viewtopic.php?t=376410

He won't do that, unfortunately. I should also add this si a 12 team h2h standard 5x5 keeper league!
thanks

Definitely would not do it for Manny AND Mccan. I don't think you should anyway. You have plenty of power(rbi's, HR's) without Manny on your team and without Sabathia .. that leaves with you Liriano as your ace. Obviously, Manny would improve your team, but I don't think enough to give up Sabathia.

Help me out?

Yea i have a good amount of HR and RBI, however im looking to solidify my OF as it is terrible. maybe i'm aiming too high in Manny.

Maybe the best SP and the best C should get you alot more than Manny. You'd think you could get the number one OF at least.

help with mine

Who do you think i shoudl after wtih Sabathia and someone else? like what name would worth Sabathia

I don't know why you really want to trade Sabathia so badly...Liriano and Greinike are injury/mental risks. It would help if we knew what kind of league this is? Roto? H2H? Whats the scoring? I think you should target a Sizemore or Beltran for Sabathia but IMO your OF is pretty good already with Hamilton and Cruz. Your number 2 and 3 starters come with some worry(mentioned above) and the rest of your startes are very questionable. I don't think it's in your best intrest to trade away Sabathia right now.

After Hamilton and Cruz there is nobody really, i would like to beef up my batters as the last few years i've bveen pitcher heavy and have always finished in 5th-7th place! while I don't want to ignore pitching, i figure if i could go with a couple of average SP as in liriano and Grienke, i'll be ok. plus pitching is easier to obtain on the WW then a good bat. I just dropped Thames and Hoffpauir and picked up Hudson (DL), Matt LaPorta, and Anthony Reyes.

So i feel if i can trade Sabathia (or any other starter) for a good OF i should be ok.
