Reynolds/Zimmerman Trade - Need Counter Suggestions WHIR!

[jmcampbe11]

Just received this trade offer. It obviously favors the other team, but I like the idea of working a trade around Reynolds and Zimmerman, because Reynolds is bringing down my batting avg.

Any suggestions for a counter offer to this trade offer?

GET - Zimmerman/Abreu

Perhaps upgrade the OF you are getting, or add the catchers to the list, though I don't think he will do that.

I feel like you're selling low on Reynolds/Hamilton and buying high on Zimmerman/Abreu.

Zim is NOT going to keep hitting line that all season with no one around him in the lineup. Reynolds has a ton of power and you can't discount that. And Hamilton is the best player in the deal. I wouldn't do it.

No chance I'm making the trade as is. Any suggestions for a counter offer that might work. Maybe add on V.Wells or Dye for N.Johnson (instead of Abreu/Hamilton)?

Is this a keeper league?

Sort of. We keep 3 players each season. Right now I'd probably keep 3 of the following - Sizemore, Longoria, Greinke, Hamilton

Then it makes it a little better because Zimm could be a stud in the future but since you only keep three I'd stay pat.

I really don't like any part of this trade for you. Zimmerman is a player who is in my opinion playing above his ceiling, and Reynolds has some upside potential if he continues working on his average, and stealing bags at his current rate. And Abreu is a huge downgrade, with no power.

I know it's far fetched, but what if you also swap 1B? AGonzalez's value is at it's highest point right now.

Just a thought.
