should I pull the trigger?

[slw87]

I am in an 11 team mixed league. The scoring system is as follows: AB -.25, R 1, H 2.25, 2B 1, 3B 2, HR 3, RBI 1, SB 1, CS -1, BB 2, IP 6, W 6, SV 6, H -2, ER -1.25, HR -3, BB -2, K .5. I have been offfered a trade that is very intriguing and am wondering whether I should take it or not. I would be giving up Derek Lowe, Russel Martin and Koske Fukodome. I would be recieving Geovony Soto, Johnathan Papelbon, and Kyle Lohse. also if you look at it the relievers are of higher value also because there is a max on innings so their pts./ip rate is higher. Should I pull the trigger?

Here is how I break down the deal:

Martin over Soto
Lowe over Loshe
Papelbon over Fukudome

You are giving up the 2 better players, especially with Soto's 2nd year slump to start the season. I wouldn't do the deal

I would have to agree with the previous poster, you are losing with 2 of the 3 players. Plus, Soria is awesome and the combo of Wilson and Valverde should give you a bunch of saves, not as good as Papelbon obviously but still its not worth it.

do you really think the difference between martin/ soto and lowe/ lohse will outweigh the difference between fukodome/ papelbon in total points in the end. Remember this is a total points league where closers average between 10 and 12 pts per inning pitched.
