Got any ideas?

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
Wright
Morneau
Roberts
Aram or Cliff Lee
Posey (minor bench)
Fowler(minor bench)

I've also got KRod, S. Drew, Rios.

I'm thinking right now I'll keep Lee over ARam since I've already got my 1B and my CI slot filled. Lee should give me a solid starter. Therefore, I can deal ARam for either an upgrade or some minor league help. I've been offered the following:

1) Alderson and Bowden for ARam - not too interested in Minor league pitchers

2) Y. Alonso for ARam - don't really need a 1B

3) M. Gamel for ARam - wouldn't mind acquiring Gamel but don't feel it's enough for ARam. This owner also has Y. Alonso, A. Villalona, A. Hicks and M. Taylor (really not interested in anyone other than Gamel)

I've thought about offering Roberts and ARam for Kinsler. Any thoughts on this offer? That would upgrade my 2B a bit. I figure that would be more help to me than Gamel will be this year.

One of the other owners has Snider, Jennings, M. Stanton (OF), Freeman, D. Brown, and Ackley on his ML bench. I could offer Aram for Snider and Jennings or Snider and one other.

All thoughts appreciated.

Only deal I would consider is the one for Kinsler. I don't think trading a ML 3B for questionable minor leaguers is not really going to help you all that much.

Agreed

Can you deal for picks? If you could pick up Desmond Jennings (likely to see some major league ABs and is a top 10 prospect) along with a significant pick upgrade, I think I would take it. It is better to get a little something for ARam, then just throw him back on the scrap heap.

agreed, the kinsler deal is the only one i can see and its a good upgrade....

def'ly keep lee over aramis.... I wouldn't want to gamble on him staying healthy....

Thanks for the help with mine.

Personally, I would also keep Lee over Aramis. He seems to miss some time every year - and it hasn't really shown in his total numbers until last season.

I also agree with the other people who support the Kinsler deal. I think that is the most promising one on the table. Good luck.
