No Brainer? Ardsma for Duke

[Boz02]

5 x 5 Roto.
We can only have 200 starts. I have a 14 save lead but am last in ERA and WHIP.

Got offered Duke for Ardsma. No brainer right?

FYI - I countered Chipper (I'll slot in Beltre), Juan Pierre (soon to bench), and Ardsma for Halladay, Duke, Victorino. I like this trade better but don't think he'll accept.

As a Pirates fan (pathetic, I know), I'd say stay away from Duke. He's consistently been inconsistent. I don't trust him to do what he's doing throughout the year. He had a good year a few years ago then followed up with 2 subpar seasons. I think you can get more for Aardsma. Thanks for the help on mine.

This is just my opinion but I am a big Aardsma fan and do not like Duke...I have been offered much more for Aardsma in one of my leagues where I have him.

that counter offer was terrible, no way it is accepted.

as far as the first trade goes, you are first in saves, i would not mess that up. keep the saves

[bcbhockey68]

I agree keep the saves.

keep Ardsma, he's been pretty solid since taking the closer role.

I agree that the counter trade was beyond awful, no way he accepts that. Part of me says that Morrow's got too much talent to stay out of the closer role all year, but Aardsma's done a good job and I think that you should keep the saves for now.
