What about this???

[Cubs2theTitle]

I give up:
Jason Bartlett
Shane Victorino
Daisuke Matsuzaka

I get:
Ryan Theriot
Josh Willingham
Ted Lilly

Right now Theriot/Willingham are outperforming Bartlett/Victorino. I pick up SB and average and lose a little in runs and RBIs with HR being a wash with none of them doing great....will that keep up? Also, when Rollins comes back, Victorino will slide down in the order and will have less SB chances, but more RBI chances and SB is one of the few offensive categories I feel good about, especially when Roberts comes off the DL.

Is getting rid of Daisuke for Lilly a good move? Lilly is solid but not spectacular, but I know what I would be getting. Daisuke can be spectacular but he hasn't pitched effectively since 2008 and I have no idea if he will get back to form, despite his impressive rehab starts.

Overall my pitching is strong, so it might be worth taking the risk and keeping Daisuke. And Lilly will be my 3rd Cub pitcher (does that even matter?)...What do you think?

Thanks for the input.

Anyone?

I don't think Theriot will keep up this pace and Bartlett is just starting to heat up. I think he's a bit under-rated. I also think Victorino has more value than Willingham. My gut reaction leans towards not making that trade. Dice for Lilly, to me, I could give or take that. I really think you're better off with Victorino and Bartlett though.

[Kimbos Beard]

I would much rather keep what you have. Maybe I would rather have lilly then Dice-K, but I would much rather have Bartlett who will heat up and Victorino who is a proven player, over what you are getting.

Pass on this as the other manager is trying to get you to buy high on guys like Theriot who are off to a hot start but realistically will not sustain it.

Thanks guys, this was a huge help.
