The trade is, I give Phillips and Shields for Verlander, H Kendrick and R Weeks. Should I do this deal and improve my pitching?

I'm assuming you just drafted?

You probably took Phillips before he took Verlander, and Shields before he took his scrubs. If you would have rather had Verlander and Weeks/Kendrick why didn't you draft that way?

Not a good deal for you, pass.

I was hoping to get some better arms later in the draft, but pitchers flew off the board, so now I feel like my pitching is definitely my weakness so I'm hoping to improve it somehow.

I think your pitching is not real great and your hitting is awesome. but I still think you'll have enough pitching to keep that team towards the top of the standings. and you'd be giving up more value, so don't do it

I agree with the above comments, you should be able to get a better trade together for an elite pitcher... if pitchers flew off the board, other teams' offenses must also be deficient, target those teams and try to pry away their #2 or #1 SP for a similar offer

You could definitely improve your pitching, but don't do it at that great a detriment to your offense. I say no deal.

What if I could do the same deal but get Greinke instead of Verlander from him?

yea then it'd be worth it

Grienke probably sweetens the deal a bit more, although i don't know if the gap between verlander and grienke is going to be that huge. is that going to be negated by the dip from phillips to kendrick/weeks. i think i'd entertain some other offers, but if you are crazy about Grienke that's different.

I wouldn't do that, think you are giving up too much. But getting Grienke would make it a lot better.
