Deal ARod? WHIR!

[northjersey78]

10 team H2H league. I am currently in dead last...

I just traded Adrian Gonzalez and Matt Palmer for Teixeira and Rick Porcello. Here is my squad now:

C - Weiters
1B - Teixeira
2B - B Roberts
SS - Zobrist
3B - ARod
OF - Braun
OF - Damon
OF - Nelson Cruz
UT - Bruce
BN - Chipper
BN - Barajas
BN - Swisher

SP - Lincecum
SP - Haren
RP - Rivera
RP - Soria
P - Fuentes
P - Bedard
BN - Slowey
BN - Porcello
DL - Kazmir

We keep 3 each year - I think now with Tex I can justify keeping Braun, Tex and Lincecum in 2010. You think its worth dealing ARod at this point? I am in dead last and trailing in most of the offensive cats - ARod is back but still not doing much other than homers. I got a few offers from 1 dude - here was his best:

ARod
Jay Bruce

for

Rios
Abreu
Lackey
Price

Think this is worth it? I could move Chipper to 3B and slot Abreu and Rios into the starting lineup. Then I also have 2 solid starters. I'd probably drop Barajas and Swisher. Thoughts?

If you can only keep 3 and your in dead last, why would you make that trade?

I think Braun, Big Tex, and Lincecum are great, but why stop there...couldn't you turn Lincecum or Big Tex into someone like Pujols? If your selling off, try to strive for who you think are going to be 3 of the top 5 or 6 players heading into next year. You got one in Braun.
