It is a keeper league and I was offered Justin Upton straight up for Greinke. Should I do it?
My current keepers are listed below (but to me it has no baring because I can make up for any shortcoming in the draft).
Current keepers:
Sandoval
Alexei Ramirez
Adam Jones
Jay Bruce
Borbon
N Morgan
Greinke
Lester
Kershaw

Excellent deal for you. Huge ceiling on Justin Upton.

The hard things about pitchers for offensive players trades is how desperate you are for what you need. I like how you think about getting pitchers in the draft. You'll miss Greinke maybe 2 times a week. You'll love Upton almost every day.

offense over pitching always...
upton will be better in the long haul, and has more potential, pitchers are so volatile, you never know when they'll have to have a surgery, etc....
pitchers = risky
upton = first rounder in 2011

It's always a good idea to sell high on pitchers and get a great bat. I was actually able to get Teixeira for Greinke in a long-time keeper I'm in, but I agree with everyone here that Upton is a great grab as well.
Also, and I'm sure I'll get some disagreement, but I'm not particularly fond of your keepers, especially Morgan and Borbon. I don't like trusting rookies as my keepers and I don't like keeping guys coming off career years out of nowhere. I even think Alexei and Adam Jones are questionable keepers.
So if it were me I might try and squeeze just a bit more out of your guy that might actually be a better keeper than one of those guys. Greinke is your best trade bait, so milk it for all it's worth.
