Utley Trade. How is value?

[Seanyfever]

I had to trade Utley this year due to keeper rules of three years only. You either trade them at the end of lose them back to draft. Obviously, I made a trade. I tried to work somethign with Pujols but could not make it work.,

THEY GET: Chase Utley, Aramis Ramirez, Derrick Lee, and Ryan Franklin
I GET: Evan Longoria, Dustin Pedroia. Brett Cecil and Luke Hochevar

I am likely dropping the last two players I received, and Derrick Lee was going to be my last keeper, but obviously not now. Hate giving up Utley, but the youth I get in keeper seems pretty good value.

I like what you got. Longoria is an elite 3B and great for keeper leagues and Pedroia is a top 5 2B in my mind.

Who will be your 3rd keeper now that you are trading Lee.

I do like the trade, especially since you have to give up Utley anyway. Longoria is going to be a beast and by getting Pedroia, you are filling the hole left from Utley. I would definitely pull the trigger. Lock up 2B and 3B for the next 3 years.

Seems like a pretty fair trade, given your circumstance, I like it.
