Help Needed - He wants Berkman and Tejada, for??? WHIR

Postby Texican » Mon May 11, 2009 9:15 am

Ok, so he originally offered me:
I get - Lackey, Rollins, Carmona
I give - Berkman, Tejada, Lowe

I declined. He then wrote me and asked what it would take to get Tejada and Berkman. What should I counter with???

My team:
C - Mauer
1B - Tex
2B - Kendrick
3B - Zimmerman
SS - Reyes
OF - Abreu
OF - Hunter
OF - Kemp
UTIL - Berkman
BN - Konerko, Tejada, DeRosa, Inge

SP - Lincecum, Halladay, Beckett, E.Santana, Myers, Lowe, Big Unit, Hanson
RP - Hoffman, Hawkins, Dotel, Beimel, Soriano, Saito, Nunez

Obviously my Saves are limited. We do count holds, so I am hoping someone will take over a closer spot down the road.

But maybe I should try to get him to throw in a closer or an outfielder?

His team:
C - Martin
1B - Teahen
2B - A.Cabrera
3B - Rolen
SS - Rollins
OF - Braun
OF - C.Lee
OF - Victorino
UTIL - Atkins
BN - Manny (suspended), Werth, Uggla, C.Guillen

SP - Jurrjens, Lester, Buerhle, Danks, Carmona, Dempster, Dice-K., Lackey
RP - Wood, Ziegler, Wilson, Seay, Wheeler, Downs, Hanrahan,

Remove Carmona and push to get Manny. Alot of owners seem to be giving up on him, now is the time to make the move. If your team can stay in contention until July, you'll be in great shape.

I agree with the last poster. Carmona is not any kind of compensation for Berkman. Berkman is not doing much right now so asking for Manny won't be out of the question. If he does include Manny I would make the trade in a heartbeat.

Help with mine?

I would try to get Wood because reliever help is all you really need.

Thanks for the help on mine, I would swap Carmona for Manny in that trade and you'll be fine. Is Andrew Bailey available on the wire, he might be a good target for your closer situation.

I was thinking the same thing - I think Wood will improve and you can get him cheaper right now... talk up the fact that Hanrahan is probably going to get his job back...

So Berkman/Tejada for Wood/ ...

I'd target Rollins... he's better than this, and while you have Reyes, you could play him out of your Util slot, or leave him on the bench for now until he figures it out, and maybe open up the option of possibly moving Reyes for a stud closer like a Papelbon at some point... just a thought, since you seem to be all set starting pitching-wise and you know he won't trade you more than 1 closer in any deal...
