Trading Chase Utley?!

Postby Mr November » Mon Feb 15, 2010 3:19 pm

This is a 5v5 roto keeper league, 12 teams.

My current keepers are...

Utley
Adam Jones
Gordon Beckham
Mark Reynolds
Carlos Quinten
Clayton Kershaw
Javier Vazquez
Josh Johnson

As you can see, I have a lot of potential but only real star is Utley. I got an offer today: Utley for Victor Martinez/Kendry Morales.

I don't really see myself contending this year, so do I just go ahead and dump Utley (take this trade or counter for more), hold out for more with a trade during the season, or just keep utley altogether? With Beckham gaining 2B eligibility this year I'm not opposed to trading Utley.

Thoughts?

That's a decent offer, but I'd rather have Utley and see how things play out. If you're looking to trade someone, shop Reynolds and Vazquez around.

I'd just keep Utley.

I wouldn't deal Utley for a package like that. VMart is not the answer if you are looking more long term. I only deal Utley if I can get another later 1st round kind of guy and high potential lower, or 2 solid 2nd/3rd round type guys. Zimm/Votto types, then I consider it.

You don't deal Utley when rebuilding when one piece you'd get is a catcher on the wrong side of 30. Keep him.

Utley will be a stud at 2B for a while. Do not trade him for anything other than a top 10 keeper, and even then think about it.

I agree with the others...you need to keep Utely....you need more sure things and less potential guys.

That offer is not worth Utley.
