Would you trade Aramis Ramirez and Chris Duncan for Edwin Encarnacion and Francisco Rodriguez? Probably not, but could I do a counter-offer to help my pitching? I was hoping to get an SP as well but there is not much there except Lowe? Any ideas would be fantastic. 5x5 Roto:
My team: C - Jesus Flores 1B - Joey Votto 2B - Dan Uggla 3B - Aramis Ramirez SS - Hanley Ramirez OF - Chris Duncan, Justin Upton, Nyjer Morgan Util - Cody Ross BN - Chipper Jones, Colby Rasmus
SP - Yovani Gallardo, Max Scherzer, Jiar Jurrjens, Ubaldo Jimenez, Jordan Zimmerman, Doug Davis, Eric Stults, Franklin Morales, Mike Hampton RP - Chad Qualls
Other team:
C - John Baker 1B - Travis Ishikawa 2B - Freddy Sanchez 3B - Edwin Encarnacion SS - Cristian Guzman OF - Randy Winn, Fred Lewis, Ryan Spilborghs Util - Skip Schumaker BN - Geoff Blum, Michael Bourn
SP - Johan Santana, Derek Lowe, Dave Bush, Scott Olsen, Jorge Campillo RP - Francisco Rodriguez, Jose Valverde, Mike Gonzalez, Matt Capps, Carlos Marmol

is this a keeper league?
if it isn't, what do you think about Upton + (one of your lower SP) for Lowe? the other owner has no real impact players in the OF (he might go for it or laugh at you - just an option, i didn't want to contribute nothing to this thread)
Id say this is very hard to do without hurting the rest of your team. if you plan to trade chipper (as many people talked about above)...id surely wait until midway though this week--let him get a dozen ABs under his belt...hopefully having a good average one day or a HR or something--then id look to move him IF you want to trade him at all....if not, id try a combo of nearly any of your SPs to get Lowe...minus your top 3 guys or so...but mainly id say you need a closer--though the deal offered is something you clearly cant do--u are giving up way to much only for some extra saves. can you grab K Rod for your closer plus a decent bat...or maybe Ubaldo?? your team looks strong enough to stay as it is for a 5 x 5 league---there clearly have to be weaker areas but your team looks like youll win most categorys on most weeks!

I'm not in love with Lowe. How about Chipper and Flores for Baker and Valverde? Is Hanson owned? Maybe make a speculative bid on a young arm who hasn't been called up yet.
