Ethier/Pods/B. Wilson for Victorino/Bruce/Haren

[Thursday]

Hey Cafe,

Here's a new trade off on the table:

My:

Andre Ethier
Scott Podsednik
Brian Wilson

- for his -

Shane Victorino
Jay Bruce
Dan Haren

This would improve my rotation, and give me back a budding star in Bruce. While I'm not thrilled about trading Ethier, this may be a decent deal.

Here's my roster and league specs:
12-team, H2H, 6x6 league (R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG., OPS. for hitters, and W, SV, K, Holds, ERA, WHIP for pitchers).

Keeper league, we keep 4:

C - Geovany Soto
1B - Ryan Howard
2B - Chase Utley
3B - Michael Young
SS - Troy Tulowitzki
OF - Andre Ethier
OF - Nick Markakis
OF - Hunter Pence
Util - Josh Willingham
B - Brett Gardner
B - Scott Podsednik
B - Ty Wigginton

SP - Clayton Kershaw, Jair Jurrjens, John Lackey, Clay Buchholz, Jonathan Sánchez,
RP - Brian Wilson, Ryan Franklin, David Aardsma, Brad Lidge, Kevin Gregg

So far, I like the deal, but want to see if you Cafers can "talk me off the ledge". Leave a link when helping, so I can help back.

I like the deal. We are seeing a bit more from Bruce which is encouraging. He is a streaky player so the power will come eventually. You're getting Victorino who won't hurt you, he will give you a bit of speed and power. It is a bit rough losing Ethier, but you're getting enough in return to warrant it. I think your pitching is one ace away from being very solid, Harden would be a great addition.
