I'm in a 12-team keeper league. We keep 7 players from year to year plus up to 5 on our minor league bench. It's 5x5 roto scoring. This past year I finished 3rd and look to build on this finish this year.

Currently my keepers are the following:
Braun
Kemp
Howard
Morneau
Greinke
Roberts
Aram or Werth

My minor league keepers so far are Fowler and Posey.

I've also got KRod, Broxton, S. Drew, Uggla, Cliff Lee.

I'd like to trade Aram and Werth for an upgrade to my keepers probably targeting a 3B or SS. I'd also consider dealing Roberts and Werth for an upgrade to 2B or SS.

I'm looking for ideas on which players to target. Am I aiming to high if I offer Aram and Werth for Longoria, Sondoval, Zimmenrman or Youkilis. (I tried getting Wright for that but was turned down.) Can I get Kinsler for Roberts and Werth?

Let me know your thoughts.

I'm not sure that offering Aram/Werth for someone like Zimmerman is asking too much, because to me Aram is almost as good as Zimmerman alone. The question will be is Werth a good enough keeper for any of the other teams? But Aramis is very comparable to your targets, so I wouldn't feel too bad if a deal doesn't go throgh.

I've offered Roberts and Werth for Kinsler. Good offer or Bad offer?? I like Kinlser's upside as well as the additional power over Roberts, so I consider it an upgrade.

Looks good to me. I might be hesitant on the two inferior players for one better player deal if I was the other owner, but for you it is fine for your situation.

I think both of your offers are good ones personally. If I was the other guy I would seriously consider the deals. Especially the Roberts deal because the guy would be getting good power with Werth that he would lose in Kinsler and gaining avg and speed with Roberts. I think it is a win win situation for both sides.

I have the same thinking for the ARamis deal although I think it has less chance of being accepted. But offer it anyway as it is a fair and reasonable offer.

thanks for your help with mine

You defintely have the right idea. Kinsler seems like a great target. If you are able to turn Roberts and Werth into Kinsler you'll still have that last spot to keep Aramis as well correct? Which really would make the deal Kinsler/Aramis for Roberts/Werth which is a big net win for you ;-D
