Joe Nathan for Ryan Doutmit

[Padres Fan]

I am in a 12 team standard Yahoo Roto league. I am currrently in 4th place with a chance for 3rd 8 points out of first, the 2nd place team offered a trade of Ryan Doutmit for Joe Nathan. Now I am not going to accept that trade since Montero is hitting better than doutmit and Nathan is my best closer but was thinking of offering Heath Bell instead for a OF or SP.

What trade should I do?

Where do you stand in saves? It seems very early to leave yourself with only two closers. If you did make a trade though, I definitely wouldn't pick up another position player - you already have 4 guys who have to sit on your bench every night. If anything, I'd be trying to move a bat in exchange for another arm.

Thanks for helping on mine.

Yeah I was thinking of dropping either Kouzmanoff or Wieters for a ww pitcher

I agree with acertijo. You have three great closers, and it is still a little early to dump one of them if you are still in the hunt for saves.

Try to send a Lind/Bartlett combo for another strong arm to a team struggling at ss position.

Thanks for the help.

I would definitely try to package Lind and Barlett for a pitching upgrade.

im just not sure i see the other owner trading away one of his pitchers at this point. i doubt he trades beckett, weaver, or harden. and do you really want to make a move for any of the others? they have been pitching well, i just dont know if i trust them that much yet.

[DVauthrin]

you guys don't match up well. you both need SP and have solid offenses, so i'd look elsewhere to deal.
