16 Team 6 Keeper 30 Man Rosters H2H League 6th Season

Starting Lineup: 1-C, 1-1B, 1-2B, 1-3B, 1-SS, 1-MI, 1-CI, 4-OF, 1-DH, 1-U, 5-SP, 3-RP

Keepers: Hanley Ramirez, Big Tex, Braun, Miggy Cabrera, Longoria, Holliday

The offer for my first round pick which is the 1st pick of the draft is as followed:

1st Round (1st overall)

for

1st round (5th overall)
2nd Round (26th overall)

The available players that I am looking to draft with the 1st pick would be Hamels, Billingsley, or Ubaldo. There is a chance one or more of them will drop to me if I accepted the trade plus I would get the extra second round pick. Thoughts? WHIR as always! Thanks!!!

I think you answered your own question. If you would be fine with either Hamels Billingsley or Ubaldo at #1 and you still think you could get one of them at #5 I would say definitely go for it.

You will still get a guy you wanted and will have 2 picks in the second round which I like.

You have some stacked keepers btw.

Yeah man go for it, if one guy you want might drop then even more reason...

Good Luck

Beyond just the players you are looking at, who are the BEST talents, period, available? If some serious talent isn't being kept because a team is too stacked, I wouldn't. I don't think it matters too much, though, your keepers are stacked.

Mehh... I think I would hold off on the trade, unless you are absolutely confident one of Ubaldo, Hamels, Nolasco, or Billingsley will fall to you. Even if one does fall, I doubt it will be the one I'm highest on (Ubaldo). Would you be okay with taking Weaver or a hitter with the #5 pick? If you aren't, I wouldn't trade your first pick.
