How do I get Utley?

[hscsoph]

I am currently in second place in a H2H league (standard 5X5 with TB, Hits and Holds added) and have some pieces to move in order to get Utley. I am not sure if the guy will go for it, but here is my current team, I will list who i start and who is on my bench. The guy needs OF and pitching. I offered him Adam Jones and Brian Roberts but don't think he will accept. I wonder if it would even be worth moving a bigger OFer and Roberts to get Utley. I need some power and think with Lucdwick starting to pound the ball I can move one of my starting outfielders. Thanks and WHIR

C - Matt Wieters
1B - Miguel Cabrera

You might be able to go straight up SP for Utley if you really want him. I just dropped Gallardo for Crawford in a 1 for 1 deal but I really needed Steals. I was gonna say you could consider something like that were you go Gallardo straight up for Utley and then move Roberts for another SP to fill the Gallardo void.

To play it safe I would trade holliday and roberts for utley. Assuming he would need a 2b in return.

What if I send Guiterrez, Gallardo and Roberts for Utley and Porcello? I think that would be a win for me or should I stand pat? Thanks

I prolly got ridiculously lucky being able to get a 1 for 1 on crawford with only gallardo. On the other hand i just picked up porcello off the WW so not sure how to value him. Sounds like you really want to go after utley so offering up roberts and holliday might be an option then you get to keep gallardo. If you are gonna drop Gallardo, roberts and franklin, i would think you might be able to get more than porcello and utley in return. Not sure though..

Okay the deal went through, Brian Roberts and Adam Jones for Chase Utley. I am sure it will get rejected, but is it really that unfair in a keeper? Tahnks for your help.
