Trade C. Santana (10th round keeper) for Broxton or Marmol?

[Bloody Sox]

I have a chance to trade Carlos Santana, who can be kept next year by forfeiting a 10th round draft pick, for either Broxton or Marmol.

My thinking is that for the rest of this year, Santana's value is a bit below that of Broxton/Marmol, but then Santana will give the other owner a 6th round value player in the 10th round. So I think the trade is about even.

I am middle of the pack in saves, but my closers are Rauch, Capps, and Simon - so I don't feel very secure.

Last thing: I have Miguel Montero as my other catcher, so I don't lose much there, if anything.

Does this help me enough this year to justify it?

I think you are undervaluing Santana this year. He is already playing like an elite catcher. Sure, he is in a bit of a slump right now, but he has shown what he is capable of doing (hitting for avg and power), which is very valuable, especially out of a catcher. I think he can be the starting catcher for any team this year (he is for me). If you already have some guys who put up decent save numbers, I don't think you should give up Santana. But I also don't know how important relievers are in your league. In mine they really only contribute to the save category so I don't even consider their value close to Santana's in a keeper league.

Help with mine please
