Trade Percival for Aardsma (I Own Morrow)?

[jmcampbe11]

Does it make sense to trade Percival for Aardsma to lock up saves for Seattle? For context, my closers are - Broxton, Qualls, Morrow, Percival.

If it's not a fair one for one, what about these trade ideas?

1) Percival/Reynolds for Konerko/Aardsma
2) Percival/J.Lopez for Cano/Aardsma (is this realistic?)
2) Percival/Dye for Granderson/Aarsma (is this realistic?)

I would trade Percival for Aardsma and a decent upgrade at another position.

Assuming Aardsma and Morrow are each 1/2 of a closer (I think Morrow is more than that), you are trading from 3 1/2 closers to 3 closers. Not worth it.

PS) If I'm giving up too much what abou the following trade ideas?

1) Percival/Reynolds for Konerko/Aardsma

2) Percival/J.Lopez for Cano/Aardsma (is this realistic?)

2) Percival/Dye for Granderson/Aarsma (is this realistic?)

I was thinking the same thing. Take a look at the options I listed and let me know your thoughts.

No on 1.

Offer 3, see what you get. I'd put the ball in the other owner's court, see what they are willing to part with in order to get Percy.

I would take #3 and I'd be OK with #2, but I am not a big Cano fan.

I'm not a big Cano fan either and I think Lopez is VERY underrated. I hate them both rated about the same going into the season. That said, given the way the new Yankee stadium has been playing, I think Cano is probably going to outproduce him a bit. Sound logic?

[briane]

Logical enough, but the outproducing I am not sure would be greater than Percy for securing the Mariners closers. Especially since, if Morrow's injury is serious, is there a guarantee Aardsma holds the job?
