Give Kershaw for Kinsler? WHIR

[dubstar]

I asked about the availability of Kinsler and he said for Kershaw. I got Kershaw for Lind a month or so ago, good deal! Should I flip him for Kinsler? Do we think Kinsler is a good buy low, or is he a dud this year? hopefully De la Rosa will come back and be strong for me in the second half.

He has some relievers I am interested in also, should I try to add one of those in the trade and offer him Rasmus or something also? he has Rivera Soriano, Cordero. This league is crazy about Closers though so I doubt he comes off of any of his.

SP Jimenez, Cain, Kershaw, Billingsley, Niemann, Marcum, Dickey
DL De la Rosa

I'd probably do it given you have Wigginton there now and Kinsler is in a stacked lineup.

anyone else? I'm still torn on this...

[toobitter]

i'd say the deal doesn't hurt your rotation majorly and kinsler has been hitting more lately.

you can also afford to deal one of those OF's, so if you have the opportunity to improve your closer, you should try. but it's not a deal breaker if he's not willing.

with jimenez, cain, bills, marcum, and niemann on your staff i'll take kinsler.

[Tony Micelli]

It would be close if you had an average pitching staff ... but You Don't. Your staff is nasty, you can definitely withstand the loss of Kershaw to upgrade to Kinsler. Do this for sure.

help me out man?

I agree. You have the pitching. Do it !!!

[drtodddds]

your pitching is good without kershaw and Kinsler is getting hot and has the potential to be the best 2B in baseball. make the trade.
Thanks for helping me out too.

I wouldn't go as far as saying the best second baseman. I still rank him behind Utley by a wide margin and behind Cano.
His problem is he isn't on the field long enough . If he played 150 games or more consistantly it would make a huge difference.He steals a base he breaks a pinky or twists an ankle. hes just way too brittle.But still agreat deal for you over Kershaw.

[drtodddds]

I agree that Utley and Cano are more valuable now. I was speaking to potential. IF healthy (yes I agree he's a DL waiting to happen), he can go 30/30, and he did hit over .300 in '08.
