Trying to bolster my Staff - WHIR!!!

[jase218]

I have tried to trade for J. Broxton and H. Bell. I offered this trade:

I give: T. Hunter / B. Myers (*I just dropped T. Hunter after he rejected the trade*)
I get: J. Broxton / H. Bell

He responded with this message:
"i know its asking a lot, but i like the way my team is right now the only way ill trade bell and broxton are for a ryan braun, lance berkman or carl crawford, or even Adam Lind one up for bell, but for me to trade them for hunter and/or myers, it wouldn't make sense for me. There are better players on the waiver list in my opinion"

I was thinking of offering this trade next:

I give: L. Berkman / B. Myers / J. Hanrahan
I get: J. Broxton / H. Bell / D. Haren (*I would like to get one more good SP and DOMINATE saves, so that's why I like this trade*)

He has stated he would like OF help, but generally he wants help with HR's / RBI's / SB's, and he has all his RP's on the trading block.



Here are my questions:
1) Am I giving up too much with Berkman in this deal? I have 4 players with 1B eligibility.
2) What is a fair deal to get both Broxton / Bell OR Broxton / Bell / Haren?

I do think Berkman is too much too give up for Bell and Broxton even though I think both are great and will end up as top 10 relievers. Adam Lind is easily the worst player out of the ones he mentioned he'd be consideirng for his closers so i'd try offering him. I;d try going Lind/Broxton or Lind/Bell.

I can understand him not wanting to give up both his solid closers. Lind for Broxton sounds good. I think you can drop Myers. He's much too inconsistant and will kill ERA even if he gets some wins once Philly remembers how to hit the baseball. Chad Qualls could be a sleeper for a bunch of saves too, FYI.

Thoughts on mine?
