My team is the defending champed but really dinged up and I currently sit in 14th place. I think this trade improves my pitching, I get the best catcher in the game and a multi-positional talent who is heating up and can contribute in 5 categories. (This is me talking myself into it). Plus, I have enough keeper worthy guys on my squad that I can afford to lose Reyes. What I can't afford is to keep losing 8-2, 10-0 while I wait for my guys to all heal. What do you think?
C- Iannetta (hurt) 1B - Votto (dizzy) 2B - Utley SS - Reyes 3B - Mora OF - Crisp (hurt) OF - Hamilton (nagging injuries) OF - McLouth Util - B. Butler BN - Fontenot BN - Barmes DL - Aramis Ramirez
SP - Jimenez SP - Zimmerman SP - De La Rosa SP - Romero SP - J. Johnson RP - Madson RP - Izzy RP - Grabow BN - T. Hanson BN - Nolasco DL - Bonderman
I agree with the above poster. Since this is a keeper league I don't like you trading Reyes for the players mentioned. I'm not a Zambrano fan. Yeah V-Mart is better than Ianetta but if I was weaker at any position in a league I would prefer catcher. SS is such a crap position and you got the best. And Ramirez still has a lot to prove.
While I am a huge V-Mart supporter, I think in a keeper league Reyes is one of those few guys that you cant trade unless you get a ridiculous offer that you can't refuse. The fact that you're thinking about it at all tells me that you shouldn't take it, and should hold onto Reyes.
I guess I am just going to echo what the others said. Reyes is too good to trade for what you will be getting back in return, especially in a keeper. It isn't a bad offer but I wouldn't do it especially because I don't trust Zambrano.
Between Utley, Reyes, and Hamilton, which would you keep? If you can only keep 1-2 guys, then I don't think it's a big fall off from Reyes to Utley or Hamilton in terms of a keeper. This year is important too, and judging by value for this year alone, no question you are getting a fine deal. Al Ramirez is starting to come around - don't stop believin' - and Zambrano is a good pitcher. V-Mart is the best catcher in the league.
It comes down to Al Ramirez being a much better fit at SS than Ianetta at C, Reyes being hurt, and Zambrano is the icing on the cake. I'd take this deal.
