I have been proposed this trade in my yahoo league...Ortiz/Atkins for Holiday/H. Bell
I would be getting Holiday and Bell. I have Beltre to plug-in at 3b if I trade Atkins. I know Atkins has been struggling but is it a big drop off from Atkins to Beltre? This trade will help my closer situation since I have Soria, Ryan & Motte. I would probably just drop Motte and look to pickup a pitcher or position player off the free agent list. (One of these FA C. Jackson, J. Upton, Span, Crisp or Max Scherzer coming off the DL next week!)
Should I accept this trade. Is is worth it or should I just stick with my current roster?

Here is my team below Head2Head 5X5 C:Posada 1b:Berkman 2b:Phillips 3b:Atkins SS:Jeter OF:Braun, Crawford, Ibanez Util:Ortiz BN: Kendrick, Beltre, Kelly Johnson, Lind SP:Peavy, Kazmir, Grienke, Danks, C. Young RP: Soria, B.J. Ryan BN: Kuroda, Moote DL: E. Santana
You're probably looking at a 20 point BA drop and some in the RBI dept. as well but I'd say that is worth the value you'd get from Bell in return.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey
Hey there, thanks for the help with mine! I think I would make this move, Bell would sure up your closer issues and Holliday is solid compensation for either Ortiz or Atkins. I think Ortiz is past his prime and will continue to decline this season, and Atkins has a groin injury that might hamper him this year.
Hey thanks for help on mine. On that note.. I think you should go for it. I think Bell will be a good/reliable closer and I also think Holiday will do you good this year even away from Coors Field. Ortiz is on a decline and you can just slip one of your OF's in the utility spot And I actually really like that you have Beltre at 3B. Do It! Good Luck!
