I have been offered this deal now, and also think I could get it by subbing in Konerko or Swisher for Stewart (I could probably rather counter). I need a SS while Reyes is out (and I'm somewhat worried he won't be the same since his injury is a leg injury), so do I do this deal? I think I'll be fine waiting for Reyes to come back, so long as he actually does come back strong. And if do it, should I counter with Konerko or Swisher instead of Stewart - there is a risk the trade might no longer be available since it was offered before Price's start this week and has just been sitting there. Thoughts? We only start 4 and trading Price really leaves me with only 4 strong SP (not including Harden on the DL). League is 12-team HtH, points (favoring hitting):
Batters:
C: Inge
1B: Berkeman
2B: Utley
SS: Hairston (J. Reyes DL)
3B: C. Jones (Aram. Ramirez DL)
OF: Braun, Soriano, Kemp
U: Swisher
RES: Konerko, I Stewart, Varitek
DL: A Gordon, Reyes, Ramirez
Pitching
SP (start 4): Verlander, J-Weaver, Cain, Wainwright, Price, Volstad, Zito, Millwood, J-Happ, B Sheets (Harden DL)
RP (start 1): H Bell, Aardsma
