Is this enough for Adam Jones? *WHIR*

Postby reverend » Wed May 13, 2009 1:01 am

Or two little?

H2H 5x5 12 teams

I offer OF Mike Cameron, 3B Garrett Atkins, and SP Rich Harden for Adam Jones

Too much, too little, just right?

Keeper? How many OF?

I personally wouldn't do it just because I'm not a Cameron or Atkins fan, but that's a lot for Jones.

I think it also depends on what your replacements for the guys you move are, mainly Harden and Atkins since you have Jones in for Cameron. It may be too much if you aren't deep in pitching or corner infielders. Roster is needed.

We keep 5 at years end. (Mine would be Pujols, Mauer, Halladay, Upton, and Jones)

It would leave me with only Mark Reynolds at 3B (but I haven't used Atkins in 3 weeks. I'd probably pick up Feliz)

Jones would join my OF that misses Manny for what's left of 50. Abreu, J-Upton, Kubel

I would still have Halladay, Bedard, Wainwright, Zito and N/A Price for SP. That maybe to thin.

Have you offered the trade yet? I always hate 3 for 1's because while it might be "enough" for Jones you have to remember that your trading partner is also going to have to drop 2 players he currently has in order to meet roster limitations. Would he rather have Cameron and Atkins than the two worst guys on his roster??? It is about the right talent level to trade for.. but honestly i probably never do it because basically it comes down to Harden for Jones.

I haven't offered it yet. Is Harden alone enough? I doubt it.

I'd have a hard time replacing Harden anyway. I just really need help in runs scored and Jones scores ALOT.

I need RBI help too. Pujols is great but my next highest RBI man is Manny...still.

I've got the wonder slumpers...Alexei Ramirez and Garrett Atkins

Jose Lopez at 2B
Yunel Escobar at SS
Abreu, Kubel, Cameron, Upton OF

Mauer has been a RBI lift since coming back however.
