Accept the counter as soon as you can before he balks again. Great trade for you. I have Jones in 2 keeper leagues, I'm one of the few who think he can put up great numbers over the course of a full season. The only possible thing that could hurt him is pitchers figuring him out, but guys like that are always a crap shoot.

I really like the counter offer for you. Your pitching staff can take the hit from losing Blanton and I like the potential upside in the future for Bumgarner. Berkamn for this year could be a real good play as well. Everyone is down on him b/c he's hurt, but I think he could be in for a pretty decent year.

And Capps is no real loss...I'd do the counter for sure

thanks for the help with mine, please help with this one when you have a chance:

Yea you are selling way high on a mediocre SP and CL. Take Berkman and run.

G Jones should get you a Slowey type, maybe. Slowey is a guy I am high on so would probably want more than Jones but give it a whirl. Wade Davis maybe?

Just a small point -- he already has Slowey, I just threw that name out there as an example of what he might get. Meaning, around Slowey's ADP. I wasn't suggesting Slowey, himself. Just so noone misunderstands.

Bumgardner is going to start the season in the minors with Wellmeyer getting the fifth spot and Pucetas taking over if he falters. My feeling is the Giants will bring Bumgardner along slowly. Capps won't have the closers job in Washington beyond the first month of the season, so you're essentially getting a high upside stashee (assuming you have a bench or protected minor leaguers) for a low end middle reliever. Berkman for Blanton is a fair swap

Counter came back: HIS Berkman & Bumagrner for Blanton and Capps
I would definitely do that, although it leaves you kind of weak in the save dept.

If you haven't accepted it yet then do so. I am not a Berkman fan but would take him over Blanton considering your superb starters that you have already. Good luck
