As tempting as Longoria is, I am not 100% a go on this deal. I think Floyd and Fuentes are liabilities and Cruz and Choo are solid guys in your OF, so Drew is a risky replacement. But if you REALY want Longoria, it is not a terrible offer.

i like the deal. when it comes to multi player deals, i look at who is getting the best player, and that is you.

Yeah I would do this deal...while you're giving up some good keepers you are getting the best keeper and Floyd and Fuentes aren't that bad in a keeper either imo

I agree I would also do the deal. You are getting one of the best keepers out there

I'm not a huge fan of Drew, but I would probably do that deal. I think that the upgrade that you get in Longoria makes up for the loss of Cruz/Choo, and I think that Floyd will do a decent job of replacing Price in your staff. I actually like Fuentes over Morrow, so I would go ahead and do it.

thanks for the help on mine

His other starters are:

Floyd
Liriano
Reyes
Perkins

Should I counter with one of these guys instead of Laffey or go with the deal as is?

Forgot to mention a very important aspect of the league. Each player has a salary value depending on what round they were drafted in. And we keep up to 5 players per year. Can keep less. A player drafted in the first round is worth 50 dollars and the rest are as follows: Therefore if I do this deal I could only keep Kinsler and Longoria for next year as they are both worth 50 bucks since the cap for keepers is 100 dollars. ANd you can only keep each player for 3 years max. I don't want to make this post too long so I won't mention the rounds the others were picked in but you can imagine that I could keep more players if I don't do the deal. But, having Kinsler and Longoria in an AL Only keeper is pretty nice dont ya think and will the trade help me this year?
