BIG Trade....Needs BIG Help!!! WHIR!!!

[WhipperSnappers44]

Hey all.....I am in a 12 Team Standard Yahoo H2H league (10CAT 5X5)

I am currently in 2nd place and doing well lately. I was just offered a trade from the guy that is in 4th place after he rejected my offer of my Inge for his Werth.

The trade he proposed to me is:

I Give: R.Howard, N.Cruz, T.Hanson

I Get: G.Sizemore, J.Werth, J.Lester

I would hate to give up Howard (that's the biggest struggle) but I do have Votto as a replacement 1B. What do I do? Do I accept, reject or counter? Please help and I will 100% guarantee help you! Thanks!

My Team:
J.Mauer, R.Howard, I.Kinsler, AROD, M.Tejada, N.Markakis, N.Cruz, A.Lind, J.Votto (bench: B.Inge, J.Ellsbury, F.Guttierez)
J.Verlander, M.Garza, R.Nolasco, T.Hanson, R.Romero, D.Price, K.Slowley(DL), G.Sherrill, B.Fuentes, M.Rivera

His Team:
R.Doumit, K.Morales, D.Pedroia, I.Stewart, D.Jeter, S.Choo, G.Sizemore, J.Werth, M.Cuddyer (Bench: A.Cabrera, M.Lowell)
D.Davis, J.Blanton, E.Bedard, J.De La Rosa, J.Marquis, J.Lester, R.Soriano, J.Nathan, A.Bailey, B.Lidge

Thanks again and I WHIR!!!

Anyone?

I was also thinking since I don't want to give up Howard then do you think he would go for:

My Votto/Cruz/Price

for

His: Sizemore/Werth

If not then what could I trade in order to at least get Werth?

BTW....I just dropped Gutierrez for G.Jones (just to give you all a heads up!

Thanks! I WHIR!!!

i'd offer howard and hanson for lester, werth, and morales. (i'd rather have hanson over price, but i don't think he'll want price over hanson).

i think this is a more fair offer. or if it's just werth you want, then offer howard for werth plus ____?_____ one of his other guys you'd want. i wouldn't give up howard, hanson, and cruz. i think that's too much, even with lester in the mix.

Thanks for the response....

The only problem that I have with your counter proposal is that I really don't want to give up Howard! I would still have Votto to put into 1B but I think Howard is a better upgrade over Votto. (some say different as I have saw on this cafe but it's a fact)

Also, I can really care less about Lester just due to he hasn't been playing all that great this year. Honestly I would rather keep Hanson and the fire that he has been playing with.

The main thing I am trying to do is to strengthen my team a bit and the only immediate action I see to do with the Offense is to strengthen my OF's a little (I have Markakis, Cruz, Lind, Ellsbury, G.Jones, Inge)......but I think I could grab a better OF for the remainder of the season (say like a top OF)....but I am looking for advice on what you all think I should do to get prepared for the playoffs?

I was looking at Werth (or Sizemore....I just don't see him being too productive in the end) just because this is one of the only few guys in the league that is down for trading. I also like Werth a little more (better team, better support, etc...) and feel he would be better over some of my guys. This mainly all started with me offering up Inge for Werth just because of Inge's injuries.

So......the main questions are should I stay put? Should I make a trade and for who (or what positions) and should I be trading this guy or should I look somewhere else?

Thanks again though....I really appreciate any and all opinions!.....and remember please answer mine and I will 100% help yours! Thanks!

I like Howrad even though Votto hits better but there is a 20 homer difference as well, I would go Votto/Cruz and Price for Sizemore/Werth

help with mine?

Thanks for the response....

I was thinking the same but one question in regards to this....

I have been hearing rumors on the Cafe and all about Sizemore getting shut down early (since he needs the surgery and all)....so would you still ask for Sizemore in that or someone else? (Plus Sizey hasn't been all that productive lately)?

Thanks again!

Then I would offer Votto straight across for Werth or Votto/Price
