See if you can get more for Ellsbury.

I like this trade for your team. Ramirez is a huge upgrade over Atkins and you can afford to lose the 15-20 sb difference between Rollins and Ellsbury. This trade will make you stacked at the corners with Teixeira, AGonz, and ARam. Rollins, Drew, and Alexei will also be a nice trio for you in the middle once Drew returns. Also, in a 10-teamer, you shouldn't have any problem replacing Napoli until Weiters gets called up. Your pitching will obviously take a hit losing Santana and I would maybe try to see if he'll throw in a decent pitcher in place of Hawpe or Headley. Overall I think this would be a good trade for you though.

I just countered by asking for C.Davis (as opposed to Headley). Any better?

Thanks for helping with mine!

I like the deal. I think Chris Davis does make the deal better although Headley is quieting putting together a solid statline. My opinion on everything else is pretty similar to YakkityYak.

Eventhough you have good SP, I think you need to get more for Johan. Rolins is a 'buy low' guy right now and you should have to give Johan to get him. Plus you have a few guys in your rotation who haven't ever 'done it' for a whole year so some depth and a true stud SP will balance that. Dont do it.
