12 team 5x5 keeper league. We keep 15 players.

I've been offered BJ Upton straight up for R. Soriano. My other OF's are Cruz, Span, and Heyward. My other RP's are B. Wilson and Frasor.

If I don't accept the trade my plan for keepers is as follows; OF - Cruz, Span, Heyward, SP - Lester, Baker, Jimmenez, Garza, and RP - Wilson, Soriano.

If I accept the trade my plan for keepers is as follows; OF - Cruz, Upton, Span, Heyward, SP Lester, Jimmenez, J. Sanchez, DeLaRosa, RP - Wilson, Frasor

The changes in SP are due to pricing constraints due to Upton's contract.

Should I make the trade?

Yes...easy trade for you. The upgrade in Upton is better than the downgrade to you SP (from Baker/Jimminez to Sanchez/DeLaRosa) or can you cut a position player keeper to be able to keep Jimminez

[pizzaboy76]

I would be losing Baker and Garza for DeLaRosa and J. Sanchez. No matter what I will be keeping Lester and Jimmenez.

Should I bother worrying about my SP and RP getting downgraded?

Sorry just missed his name on the 2nd list. Do the deal and you'll be fine.

why wouldn't you include those in your post for the best answer to your Q?

If I do the trade there are no other pitchers I could keep, so I thought I would keep the numbers out of it to keep it simple.

Thanks for help on mine. I know they are just numbers, but based on a few rating sources, the pitchers you are giving up were # 13,28 and 29 in rankings, and the ones you are keeping were 46,51 and 57. You are dropping an average of 28 spots in 3 places. Can Upton replace all of that??

[HOOTIE]

I would do it. I like BJ. Soriano is no lock to keep his job. Baker is overrated. Sanchez has a nice upside.

[pizzaboy76]

That is my big dilemma. do I sacrifice SP and RP for a chance at upgrading my OF? Not sure which Upton we will see and not sure if Frasor will be the guy for Toronto.

Thanks for the help on mine.

I think that Soriano has a secure job - health permitting.

That said, this is an upside gamble. You asked the important question - which Upton will we see? You can't win fantasy titles without getting lucky on a few gambles. This is a gamble I think you should take. Soriano will be replaceable. Garza and Baker are replaceable. If Upton lives up to his potential his bat would not be replaceable.
