TRADE MAUER??? Two trade requests. Please help.

[lin00024]

I am in a Roto keeper league.

I have been offered two trades involving Joe Mauer. Because I have Buster Posey, one becomes tradeable

First offer: Evan Longoria and Carlos Gonzalez for Mauer and Alex Rios

Second offer: Matt holliday and Mark Texieria for mauer and adrian gonzalez

My team:
C: Mauer
1B: Adrian Gonzalez
2B: Brandon Phillips
3B: Ryan Zimmerman
SS: alex gonzalez
MI: Orlando Cabrera
CI: Jose Bautista
OF: Josh Hamilton
OF: JD Drew
OF: Manny Ramirez
OF: Alex rios (we play 4 OFs)
UTILITY: Busty Posey
BENCH : Jonny Gomes. Chone Figgins.

Would you do either trade? Posey obviously can be an elite player, but Mauer is the best C in the game (even with his power outage this year). Not sure why Holliday has struggled so much, and Tex has looked awful this year.

Come on guys, any suggestions?

I dont see where either of these trades help you out. It looks like a trade just to make a trade. Studs for studs.
You have Zim, so Longo isnt really needed. I like CarGo, but trading Rios cancels it out.

I would try and make a lesser move involving posey

Thx.
I feel obligated to move Busty or Mauer.
In the case of longoria and cargo, Longoria can play at CI, and I'm not sure Rios keeps his hitting up. I do have some concerns about Gonzalez and possible lack of RBIs in the future given his crappy team.
I'll gauge interest for Posey. The question is, what is his value?
