Asdrubal Cabrera for Jon Lester? WHIR!!!

[misc9999]

10 team 5x5 AL only.

Looking to trade Asdrubal Cabrera for Jon Lester straight up. I would pickup someone on the wire even though thin but I need some severe pitching help ( a couple of my draft day guys got blown up and demoted.)

What do you guys think? TIA.

My team:

C Wieters/Suzuki
1B Carlos Pena
2B Alexi Casilla (raking again in AAA, could be recalled quite soon)
SS Mike Aviles
MI Asdrubal
3B Crede
CI Beltre
OF: Balentein, Sizemore, Bay, Span, Reimold
DH: Thome
SP: Greinke, Cahill, S. Richmond, Clayton Richard, David Fernandez (AAA but might be coming up soon), Kelvim Escobar (June return?)
RP: Mariano, Fuentes, Howell, J. Cruz, Zumaya

Was this offered to you? I'd take Lester for Cabrera for sure.

yeah id take lester too, he's more likely to turn it around than assssssdrubal keeping it up i think....

On the surface I like the trade... but I think you have to pass with your 2B currently in AAA and a CI spot in an AL only league. If you told me that say Brendan Harris was available I'd be all for... what SS/2B/MI options are available? I could use some help on mine, and if you want to post this link with an update about the MI available options I'd be happy to respond again. Thanks in advance.

I'd take the deal. I think Cabrera is playing over his head right now.

PS) This is an AL only league right?

Thanks for all the responses. Its an AL only league. So my FAAB options are limited.

I am proposing the trade as the other owner needs a lot of help in his middle infield spots while his pitching is lights out. In fact, Lester is on his bench.

I think Asdrubal is not a fluke but I just think that his value is optimal right now and I could hopefully snag a pitcher who I think has great numbers but has just not found his groove yet.
