Offered a SS trade?

[kevdog7704]

I was offered a trade of Hunter Pence and Carlos Zambrano for my Jimmy Rollins. I understand Rollis was a 1st round pick and is off to a slow start but I also have depth at my SS position. On this team I have Michael Young and Ryan Theriot. They are not as good as Rollins but are still good and cover my SS position with choice and one is in a UTIL spot as well. My thought is Hunter Pence is starting to come into his prime years and Zambrano is not as good as he once was but is still Zambrano. I am affraid my opinion of Rollins is just negative so I might make the move for that reason. I am looking for your opinion on the trade to make sure it is legit. Thank you ahead of time.

Keep Rollins. Trade Mike Young for Zambrano if you're looking for a SP. If you're trading Rollins you'd better be getting Santana, Lincecum or Sabathia in return.

I wouldn't do this. Wait until rollins atleast starts to round back into form. You make this deal and he gets back to doing what made you pick him so high in the first place, and you'll hate the world.

agreed... if your trading a 1st rounder id rather get bare minimum a 2nd rounder in return, what you are looking at is 2 players well outside the top 5 rounds... i like quality over quantity don't do it...

help me out...

His highest drafted pitcher is Roy Halladay. Should I look for Halladay and Hunter Pence? I have 4 closers who I like so I would not need any of his high RP. His next highest SP is Cliff Lee who I personally do not buy in. Otherwise he has K-rod and Bobby Jenks above Lee but I am not worried about them.

Here is his team copied and pasted. If you think of a better trade for him wanting Rollins please let me know. You guys might have a deeper fantasy knowledge than me.
