Lester/Youk for Weaver/Young? WHIR

[hartmtown]

I'm thinking of trying to buy low on Jon Lester. The guy I contacted wants my Adrian Gonzalez and Jered Weaver for Lester and Swisher. I'm obviously going to decline that, but I'm thinking about a counter-offer. He says he definitely wants Weaver in a deal for Lester.

I was thinking about offering Weaver and Michael Young for his Lester and Youkilis (thinking of also buying low on Youk). Regardless of whether he will accept that, is that a good idea? Lester has struggled thus far and Weaver's been dominant. I'm wondering if I shouldn't hold on to who I have. I've thought about asking for Felix in exchange for Weaver but I don't think he'd go for it.

Should I offer the trade or stay put? Any thoughts on other trades I could offer? Any help is appreciated. Standard Yahoo 5xt h2h league.

You can definitely offer this trade, I just don't know if he'll accept it. What else are you willing to part with?

see if hell toss in ludwick on a deal. Batting in front of Pujols is great for his value.

Bump.

Thanks for the advice thus far. I'm mostly wondering if Weaver to Lester is an upgrade or not. Thanks.

Lester is better than Weaver for June-Sept, so do it if you can. And Youk is MUCH better than Young.

It never hurts to throw it out there. I'd say post it. I doubt he accepts, but you'll get his counter and have a better idea of the direction things are heading.

I have a similar situation, can you help?: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=408950

So he just offered me Lester for Weaver straight up. I'm guessing this is a no-brainer right? The only reason I'm hesitating is a little own-guy, over-valuing of Weaver?

Thanks!

Yea no question, Lester for Weaver is robbery for you.
