I get: Ryan Howard and Matt Wieters I give: Mark Teixeira and Pablo Sandoval
Should I do this deal, decline it or look to get an additional player?
Salary Cap Keeper League - 12 teams - H2H - 6 x 6 standard league - standard baseball lineup with one Utility
Draft is done by bidding and that will not take place until later this month. (V-Mart is the only elite C available but it will cost significant amount of salary cap to win his services)
Here are the hitters I have signed heading into the season before the bidding process: Pablo Sandoval Matt Kemp Mark Teixeira Chase Utley A-Rod Nelson Cruz
i agree with hootie, dont do that deal. i know teix is a monster in R/HR/RBI, but i just dont trust his avg and he is prone to major slumps due to the high amount of K's. i like teix/sandy a lot better. maybe try sandoval for wieters straight up if your in need of a C, if the other guy wants it.
I see you mentioned "bidding process" does that mean their are salaries as well? If so I don't think it changes the fact that you should keep Tex but it would make a difference in the Pablo vs Wieters deal.
As for that deal, I think I would go after Wieters. He should be better in the long run and he has a good chance to be as good as Pablo this year. So depending on salaries, I would offer up the deal.
