MCab, Murphy, Shields for Garko, Sizemore, Braden?(WHIR)

[kidsilk]

AL only league, 10 teams, 23 man rosters, 7 keepers per year with 3 year contracts, 5x5 roto style.

I am currently in 5th place only a point out of the money in fourth place and 6 points back from 3rd place. I have MCab and Shields on one year deals meaning I can't keep them after this season. I have received an offer to unload both of these guys to the guy who is in 3rd place for Sizemore who I can keep this year and next and a hot Dallas Braden who I could also keep if I so choose. Would you do this deal?

MCab(1), Shields(1), Murphy(3) for Garko(3), Braden(3), and Sizemore(2)?

Thanks for helping on mine.....

That sounds like a pretty fair deal to me. I think that I'd do it.

[Pochucker]

The deal is "ok" considering settings but I would be looking for more pitching

don't know too much about garko or shields to say its a fairly even trade especially since cabrera's been so good this year but it seems ok to me..

i dont think i would do it. just bc you are right outside the money. the tribe might shutdown sizemore the 2nd half bc such of a miserable start.
