Trading Hanley

[ScrappyDawg]

I was just offered my SS Hanley Ramirez for C Joe Mauer and SP Zack Greinke...I can't tell if this offer actually helps my team. I am in an 8 team league, with no SS if I trade Hanley. I could pick up guys like J. Uribe, A. Ramirez, and R. Theriot, but is Hanley more valuable than what I am receiving? I am also trying to trade my C Matt Wieters for SS Stephen Drew. Is that a good trade, and if so, should I go through with the Hanley deal if I can acquire drew?

On value alone, I'd rather have Mauer and Greinke than H-Ram.

If you can pull off two deals, look at this way:

OUT

Wieters
Ramirez
???SP????

IN
Mauer
Stephen Drew
Greinke

Probably looks like a good bet, depending on the name of the ????SP?????.

If you can get Drew I'd consider trading Hanley, but otherwise no way. You're never going to come close to matching him with a SS off of the waiver wire. SS is the most shallow position so if you have above average production there its a serious advantage, whereas C is a bit deeper of a position this year than usual, and will only get deeper with all the great young prospects out there.
