probably, but it depends on who you have playing 1b/3b. In the end, Aramis Ramierez will probably have better numbers.

Help me please: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=410709
Looking forward to back to back championships in 2011!

I think that would work, but it really depends who you already have. Konerko will not keep up this pace, so he is a good sell him player.

Please help

So you have a sell high guy for a buy low guy and he wants more? No way. I'm not a fan of ARam at all this year so I would especially stay away from this deal.
League Setup:
13 Team Points League
6 Hitters 3 Pitchers (Positions don't matter)
1B = 1, 2B = 2, 3B = 3, HR = 4, RBI = 1
Win = 12, Save = 5

I'm not a huge fan of the deal in general, but Konerko is somewhat expendable with Morneau and Johnson taking your 1B/U spots. No way I'd give up him and Qualls, though. Aram looks hurt to me.

Also, any chance you can move Kelly Johnson instead? I think Konerko is more likely to post numbers in line with his current production (he's done it before, unlike Johnson, and a lot of people like me were high on him as a late-round guy), but Johnson may have more trade appeal as a 2B guy.

I would hold here. Not too big a fan of Aram this year. I definitely do agree you need to bench Beckham and pick up a 3B who is actually producing right now.

Also, dump Gregerson ASAP and pick up Gregg. He should not be a free agent in any league.
