Trade Kinsler for Kershaw/G. Beckham?

[duckmonkey]

I've had this owner constantly sending me trade offers this season for Kinsler. He's absolutely desperate to get him for some reason.

I've been rejecting them until this morning's, which I'm really considering.

He offered Kershaw and Gordon Beckham for my Ian Kinsler. I'm obviously set at 2B with Utley and Phillips but could use another 3B-eligible player. Keyshaw would be an upgrade over who I drop, probably Gavin Floyd.



It's a 12-team H2H Keeper league.

My roster:

Ryan Doumit (Pit - C)
Carlos Peña (TB - 1B)
Chase Utley (Phi - 2B)
Chone Figgins (Sea - 2B,3B)
Elvis Andrus (Tex - SS)
Torii Hunter (LAA - OF)
Juan Pierre (CWS - OF)
Grady Sizemore (Cle - OF)
Brandon Phillips (Cin - 2B)

BENCH:
Paul Konerko (CWS - 1B)
Nick Markakis (Bal - OF)
José Guillén (KC - OF)
Ian Kinsler (Tex - 2B) ON BENCH, NOT DL

Pitchers
James Shields (TB - SP)
Chris Carpenter (StL - SP)
Phil Hughes (NYY - SP,RP)
Chad Billingsley (LAD - SP)
Gavin Floyd (CWS - SP)
Stephen Strasburg (Was - SP) NA
Andy Pettitte (NYY - SP)
Brad Penny (StL - SP)
Matt Thornton (CWS - RP
José Valverde (Det - RP)

DL
Brad Lidge (Phi - RP) DL

Oh and I checked, he doesn't have any solid closers to ask for, which I could use.

Forgot to mention WHIR.


Lets hear some opinions on this. Thanks!

How does everyone think Kinsler will recover? I think he'll steal fewer bases, but do you think this will be his only injury this year? I'm not liking his comments about "pain the rest of the year but I can run".

Since I already have Utley and Phillips...considering trading him because of his injury risk while I can.
