Gallardo for Matt Kemp.. WHIR

[Aberfoyle]

I am in a 12 team roto league and I am currently 6 i think but was holding strong at 3rd for a long time and can easily get back to that point with a few solid days of stats. Anyways someone offered me Matt Kemp for Yovani Gallardo. I dont know enough about matt kemp and his stats do look decent and hes ranked 26 currently. I am a big fan of gallardo and his stats a decent with a few rough outings. I was thinking about offering Jair Jurrjens for Kemp but have a feeling that would get rejected. I already have alot of outfielders anyways. Any help thanks.

My team:

C-Kurt Suzuki
1B-Carlos Pena
2B-Felipe Lopez
SS-Stephen Drew
3B-Miguel Cabrera
OF-Matt Holliday
OF-Tori Hunter
OF-Adam Dunn
Util-Carlos Lee

BN-Colby Rasmus
BN-Bonifacio
BN-Denard Span

SP-Roy Halladay
SP-Feliz Hernandez
SP-Yovani Gallardo
SP-Kevin Slowey
SP-Jair Jurrjens
SP-AJ Burnett
RP-Andrew Bailey
RP-Trevor Hoffman
DL-Matt Lindstrom

His Team:

1B Morneau
2B Utley
3B ARod

I wouldn't do that trade. Gallardo has more value to your team then Kemp, and besides, I don't see how Kemp would improve your team since you would end up having to bench a solid player (Holliday, Hunter, Dunn, or Lee). If you were committed to trading for Kemp, then I would try to do something like Gallardo and Holliday/Hunter/Dunn/Lee for Kemp and a SP, but I don't think I'd trade Gallardo if I were you. He's young, he's pitching well and is in a very weak division for the most part.

Good luck! Help? Thanks viewtopic.php?t=393163

Yeah, it would be nice to play Matt Kemp until Holliday starts to hit better and I usually would say do it because I value hitters so much more...But, I'm gonna have to say keep Gallardo for the same reason as the reply above. He's solid and I don't see him losing ground anytime soon. You have a nice team with a lot of players that I think will turn it up 2nd half.

I absolutely have to agree with the above two posts. Gallardo is young and is only going to improve.

I wouldn't do this trade, pretty much for the same reasons as the two posts above.

What's the point of saying WHIR if you're not going to keep your word?

Your pitching needs to keep Gallardo more than your offence needs Kemp.

I would offer him Jurrjens/Dunn for Kemp and see if he bites at that.

Would be a huge upgrade to your OF as Kemp is a stud. Could easily be a top 20 player by year end IMO if he starts hitting in the right spot in the Dodger lineup.

Help with mine?

i'd stay put, you need gallardo more than a good outfielder. I'd rather see you offer gallardo and pena for morneau and a pitcher like zambrano, volstad or wolf. or try gallardo, drew and dunn for rollins, kemp and one of the pitchers mentioned above.
