Do this trade?(WHIR)

Postby kidsilk » Fri May 01, 2009 7:23 pm

Since my last post got kind of confusing I am reposting the new offer that I am trying to decide about. The league is an AL ONLY league, 10 teams, 23 man rosters, 5x5 roto style, 7 keepers with 3 year contracts.

I have been offered:

Andy Pettitte
Rick Porcello
Jeff Niemann
Xavier Nady

for my:

Brad Ziegler
Andy Sonnanstine
Scot Shields

I am in 4th place overall and dominating the saves category since I have 4 closers right now. I need some more starters who can get me some ks and wins since I am in last place in these cats. Is this deal worth it for me?

My Team:

C-Morales
C-Zaun
1B-MCab
2B-J. Lopez
SS-M. Izturis
3B-Bautista
MI-Getz

thanks for the help

take it. If Sonnanstine continues to pitch poorly, he will be replace by Price and Shields is not looking too good

I totally agree. That looks like a sugar coated turd of trade you'll be receiving in return.

I'm taking the deal. Porcello is the real deal. Pettite gets you through this year.

Yeah but it's not giving up that much either. This trade has more potential so I'd do it.
Dominate is a verb. Dominant is an adjective.

It's not a terrible deal, but with 4 closers in an AL only format, I'd think you have the cornerstone in that area. You can demand a lot more for your closers.

Thanks for helping with mine!
Looking forward to back to back championships in 2011!
