Should I trade Morneau?(WHIR)

Postby kidsilk » Sun Dec 13, 2009 8:16 pm

12 team, 5x5 roto, dynasty league where we each took over ownership of a National League Team and an American League team and their players with their contracts. We have made some changes via trades and cuts. I have a guy in my league who is after my Morneau pretty hard. I am not sure I can afford to lose his consistent power but I was wondering if you saw any glaring weakness in my team that I could ask him for Morneau? He already said he would do Stephen Drew and either Cliff Lee or Cole Hamels for Morneau and Theriot but is that enough? That would help my pitching and would upgrade my SS position. Here are our rosters. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

His Team:

Roy Halladay
2. Scott Richmond
3. Ricky Romero
4. Marc Rzepczynski
5. Cliff Lee
6. Cole Hamels
7. Derek Holland
8. J.A. Happ
9. Joe Blanton

Bullpen
1. Scott Downs
2. Jason Frasor
3. Jeremy Accardo
4. Brandon League
5. Mike MacDougal
6. Brad Lidge
7.
8.

Corner Infielders
1. Edwin Encarnacion
2. Ryan Zimmerman
3.
4.

Middle Infielders
1. Aaron Hill
2. Jimmy Rollins
3. Stephen Drew
4.

Catchers
1. Joe Mauer
2. Jesus Flores
3.

Outfielders
1. Vernon Wells
2. Adam Lind
3. Travis Snider
4. Julio Borbon
5. Raul Ibanez
6. Shane Victorino
7. Jayson Werth
8. Ben Francisco
9.
10.

No deal. If you trade Morneau then you need to be getting Zimmerman and/or Mauer in the deal. Drew is not an upgrade and I wouldn't trust Lee or Hamels. You definitely need a big bat in return.

I would pass. Drew is too much of a wild card to take the downgrade from Morneau whereas adding Lee/Hamels wouldn't be enough.

Mourneau is worth more than an average ss and a good sp. You cannot afford to lose his offense for those two players. Pass.

Easy pass on this one. Big bat is more valuable than a solid but questionable SP
