Zimmerman and Hansen for Halladay

Postby smalls2598 » Tue Mar 02, 2010 10:49 am

standard 5X5, 5 man keeper (2 batters, 2 pitchers, 1 wild card). 3 year limit on keepers (this is our first year). no penalties on keeping players

I'm already keeping Braun, Utley and Greinke

other players worth considering to keep: Zimmerman, Matt Holliday, Adrian Gonzales, Kershaw and Hansen

And, as the topic states, I have been offered Roy Halladay for Ryan Zimmerman and Hansen

Am I crazy if I don't accept this trade? I mean, i'd have two of the top overall pitchers, and a pretty solid hitting nucleus with Braun, Utley and Holliday. Right? But the other view would be that it would be best to keep a young stud like Zimmerman at a weaker position than to keep two outfielders (albeit, two of the best OF).

Help me settle my thought process here. What would you do?

I'd say no to the trade, Halladay will be great but Hansen will be great for longer and Zimmerman may be the best 3B in the national league.
