could you possbily make this same deal later in the year? it's not like you have a stud 2B waiting to fill that hole - I personally try to win now and Utley give you the best chance to do that...

I wouldn't make the trade.

In a 12-team league, by all rights your team *should* win the league this year. I wouldn't do anything that would put that in jeopardy. Even if you do the deal, you're still going to be light on keepers going into next year, so you might as well go all out to win this year and then start retooling.

This is right on. You just aren't getting good enough value for Utley.
