Deadline approaching. Hill/Ubaldo/J Rivera for Pujols! WHIR

[BillyHallDisciple]

12-team h2h, 5x5 (standard cats). Player values increase $5 each year, total salary max for whole roster is $230. I am wondering if giving up Aaron Hill, Ubaldo & Juan Rivera for Pujols & a throw-in like McCutchen is too much. This is a dumb question, isn't it? ... only reason I hesitate is I'd downgrade from A Hill to Asdrubal at MI and from Ubaldo to a waiver wire guy like Brett Cecil in order to make this work. But Pujols is such a monster, I think it would put me over the hump and he'll be only $46 next year, well below his market value (he'd usually go for $60-ish).

Thanks for the reply.....

I wouldn't do this if I were you.....I mean Pujols is the man and like the best player in baseball right now but, his STATS have slipped a little since Holliday as come into the picture and although it would be great still to have Pujols I think you lose out way too much on the other positions (Hill is a beast and to go from him to Assdribble would suck).....(Ubaldo to a WW piece of crap???)......so negative on this trade and you already have Tex at 1B so....he's not far off the STATS from Pujols!

Good Luck but no dice!

You are getting far and away the best player in baseball and you aren't giving up a stud to get him. I do this in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the help with mine.
