I've been offered a trade: my Edwin Jackson for his Adam Jones. I really like Jackson; he's the real deal. I've been wanting a better CF, however, my pitching has been a big part of my 2nd place position and only 1 game out of first. Adam Jones has really cooled off lately, which worries me down the stretch. ****I was thinking of dropping Chris Davis to pick up Franklin Gutierrez, but he just got injured, so I don't know how serious that is. If I get Gutierrez, I won't need Adam Jones. Scott Hairston is also available.
12 team, H2H, no keeper league. Check out my team please and let me know what you think I should do. FYI, the guy offering the trade is in 1st place.

I like this for you. Your staff is strong enough to cover the loss of Jackson. I think Jones is the real deal, but the "fluid on the knees" does worry me a bit. That being said, I'd still pull the trigger on this since you have the pitching depth.
Take the deal. Just as the other posters mentioned, you can afford to part with Jackson and Jones is a great option to have. He'll be much better then Gutierrez.
I was actually kinda leaning towards saying no, but after looking at your staff.. yeah, you can part with Jackson. Though, I would still look at dropping Davis. Non-keeper league, no real reason to keep hanging on to him.
update: he would give me justin upton or adam jones. i have a lot of potential RF in my line-up, but only inge and reimold at CF. would you rather have upton or adam jones?
