I don't need steals anymore

I am in a 5x5 roto league with 12 teams. up to four keepers. I am in 3rd right now, top 3 pay out and I am leading steals by 30 so I think I can give up some sb's!

one option I am looking at is to offer ellsbury for adam jones?

there are couple other teams that could improve their draft spot for next year by gaining points in steals so I will be looking to make an offer to them as well

my roster

C NApoli
1b J morneau (Keeper/K)
2b C Utley (K)
3b R Zimmerman
SS M Scrutaro
OF Crawford (K)
OF J ellsbury
OF R Ludwick
UTIL A Either

bn M Cuddyer
bn M Bradley
bn a Cabrera
bn j peralta
bn B Inge

Sp J Santana (k)
Sp F Hernandez
P F Rodriguez
p h street
p b ziegler
p J Chamberlin
p U Jimenez
bn J Sanchez
bn D Davis

If you can get Adam Jones for Ellsbury I would defiantly do it. If you are up for a risk take a look at Justin Upton who just went on the DL with a oblique strain (they say its minor but those things nag). But I would defiantly look to get Jones.

Good Luck

I like offer number one, then offer number three.

It is really up to you if Adam Jones is a keeper. If you could keep six I think he would be the sixth. But you keep only five.

Morneau, Utley, and Crawford are all definite keepers. Then I would assume you would keep Johan Santana and Felix Hernandez. It depends though. If your keepers aren't due till next year then wait and see if alot of people are keeping pitchers. If a lot of people are keeping pitchers then I think you keep both Santana and Felix, but if they are keeping offense and dumping pitchers you keep Jones for one of them.

Good Luck
