Would you do this trade for Haren?

Postby las_vegas_keith » Fri May 08, 2009 1:24 pm

Hey all,

I was just offered the following trade in my 13-team mixed 5X5 roto auction league. We start 13 hitters and 9 pitchers. Two catcher league. We keep 5-9 players at the end of the year.

I get:

Dan Haren - $25
Gerald Laird - $1

I give:

Bengie Molina - $11
Joe Saunders - $3

I am currently near the bottom and looking to shake my team up.

My current roster is:

C: Bengie Molina $11
C: NIck Hundley $10 (waiver wire pickup)
1B: Prince Fielder $15
2B: Chris Getz $1
3B: Aramis Ramirez $37
SS: Hanley Ramirez $115
MI: J.J. Hardy $10*
CI: Carlos Delgado $15
OF: Juan Pierre $10 (waiver wire pickup)
OF: Adam Jones $15
OF: Alfonso Soriano $41
OF: Shin-Soo Choo $8
OF: Melky Cabrera $10 (waiver wire pickup)
UT: Garrett Atkins $25
Bench: Carlos Gomez $6
Bench: Ryan Sweeney $10 (waiver wire pickup)

P: Brian Fuentes $10*
P: Roy Oswalt $22
P: Chad Billingsley $20
P: Frank Francisco $20
P: Joe Saunders $3
P: Jose Arredondo $6
P: Barry Zito $10 (waiver wire pickup)
P: Jim Johnson (waiver wire pickup)
P: Chris Ray $7

DL: Rich HIll $10 (waiver wire pickup)
DL Andrew Miller $10 (waiver wire pickup)

I know that Haren is very good, but is Saunders a decent keeper for $3 and is it enough to kill the deal? Bengie Molina has been very good but the other owner wants more than just him for Haren? Please let me know what you think.

Thanks

Hey there, I would make this trade. Anytime you are getting an ace pitcher without having to give up a big time hitter its a good deal. Molina is a good catcher but Haren is one of the top pitchers in baseball, make this move!

Help with mine?

Real dumb move on their part - I have a real hard time understanding what the hell they're trying to do -this is an obvious 'accept'.
