Who would you play at the util? Is that Adam or Andruw Jones?

[Jibmasterflex]

you should probably keep Kemp honestly because Chris Davis is in AAA, if you had a replacement it might make sense.

[jordan9148]

that's adam jones. And there are a bunch of decent OF options (furcal, milledge, c. young, swisher ect) if i make the trade. any other thoughts? I'm still pretty torn on this offer

I wouldn't do this deal, but I am really high on Kemp, especially in a keeper league. He is developing into a 5 tool All Star.

[mozart24]

I agree. Keep Kemp, the sky's the limit for him. Johan is still great, but his best stuff is behind him. Soon, he'll need to go through a Pedro-like transformation to pitching on guile as his fastball velocity gradually drops.

what about kemp for lincecum?

if this was offered to you please go and hit accept, your SP is AWFUL outside of Bills, who isn't having the year everyone thought he would thus far... guessing you don't start 8 SP? so if thats the case some of those are bench, currently i would do the Lincy deal for Kemp, and then look to dump either, Davis, Morrow, Zimmy or Parra for some UTIL help...

Those are some pretty poor options, imo. Milledge is in the minors, Young has been awful, Swisher doesn't play every day and is an avg killer. Furcal...meh. Maybe he gives you steals, but he isn't even doing that this year.

I dunno -- Lincecum is fine, value-wise. (I don't think Santana would be bad, either.) But it seems your util spot would become the same hole you have in your pitching staff now. Sort of a lateral move.

[jordan9148]

honestly i'm not worried about plugging in guys into the utility spot. I left out a few available names like chase headley, podsednik, garko, bonifacio ect. I'd probably be fine just picking up who's hot from week to week. I offered kemp for lincecum, we'll see if he takes it. another offer I got was, kemp/zimmerman for Aaron hill/Gallardo. Should i counter with hamilton instead of kemp?
