How'd I do on this trade? Opinions? WHIR

[wingman3110]

In a 12 team 5x5 roto, keep any 3 league I just did this trade:

I get: Joe Mauer and Matt Thornton

I give: Justin Upton and Andrew Bailey

My roster is as follows:

C- Santana
1b- Fielder
2b- Weeks
3b- Sandoval
SS- Reyes
OF- Upton
Of- Victorino
Of- Matsui
Ut- B. Butler
Ut- Juan Uribe
bn- Ivan Rodriguez
bn- Dejesus
bn- Willingham
bn- Freese
Dl- Cruz

SP- Gallardo
SP- Liriano
RP- Bailey
RP- Franklin
P- Gregg
P- Contreras
P- Marcum
P- Latos
Bn- Gorzelanny
Bn- Silva
Dl- Anderson

Now the reason I'm doing this is bc my team is dead last in average and Upton is absolutely killing me right now. Also I am in the top tier in saves right now and Thornton could take over a closing job over somewhere, but in the meantime is ratios will help me. Also I just acquired Billy Butler for Matt Cain the other day in order to help out my batting average as well.

Any thoughts?

that is tough, but i think the other guy got the best deal. Mauer will never tough 28 homers again and is more of a 15-20 HR hitter. his runs/rbi/avg will all be elite for a catcher because he can DH on off days, but the power was a result of an extremely lucky HR/FB rate, and shows this with only 2 HR this yr. J-up is a lock for 25/20 but has the potential (and on pace for) a 30/30 season. The avg hurts but i think with santana at C, you should have gotten a different position player, good luck.

help with mine?
