I was just offered Francisco Liriano for Brandon Phillips. I can start Bonifacio at 2B. Pull the trigger?
10 team standard roto
MY TEAM:
C: J. Saltalamaccia 1B: J. Morneau, P. Konerko 2B: B. Phillips, E. Bonifacio 3B: A. Ramirez, E. Encarnacion SS: M. Young OF: C. Lee, A. Dunn, N. Swisher, J. Damon, W. Taveras
SP: J. Santana, B. Webb, R. Oswalt, K. Lohse, J. Saunders, Cl. Lee, A. Galarraga, P. Hughes RP: F. Rodriguez, O. Dotel, R. Soriano
I would keep Phillips here. I think you need him more for your offense than you need LIriano for your staff as it is strong already. I am not a believer yet of Bonifacio and Phillips is a possible 30/30 guy. I wouldn't do it.

I agree completely. I think as soon as Boni comes back to earth you'd be a bit screwed. Liriano would be a good pickup, but you're deeper at SP than you are at 2B.
Good luck.

Thanks for the help earlier Fender - Mark Reynolds is now nothing but scraps.
Anyway, I agree, hold onto Phillips as he's nearly a sure thing to be a top three 2B. Your staff is already pretty deep as it is.
If anything, I would counter, trying to sell high on Bonifacio. You might be able to package him with Saunders or Galarraga (not sure if that's enough) and still squeeze Liriano out of him if he's a guy you have your heart set on.
I've seen a lot of man love for Bonifacio lately, might want to take advantage of it while you can.

I agree with everyone else. You should try to move Boni instead. The key is to not overshoot. Offer him, to teams that need MI help, as an add-on in a 2 for 1 trade for an upgrade. Someone might bite.
PS) You need a closer more then you need a starting pitcher.
I think your pitching is pretty good. I would say that you should stick with Phillips. With him being a 30/30 guy, I would stick with him. I like Bonifacio in his role right now, but you need more than an week to judge him by.
