I'm first in my league but always looking to improve. The guy who owns Reynolds is looking to give up on him and needs a closer. I have 4 right now, with Gonzalez coming back soon for the O's. I offered originally Glaus and Capps for Reynolds (since it sounds like Capps might be traded), but he wants Cordero instead.
So, I give: Cordero, Glaus
I get: Reynolds
What do you think? Capps still might be traded, but I could pick up Storen as insurance or use Gonzalez. I picked up Glaus of the WW a few weeks back so I'm not losing much with him. The only question in my mind is whether I really NEED Reynolds. I figured I could use him as a UTIL player along with Dunn and Ortiz, or to sub Zimmerman at 3rd. I'm leaning toward accepting but I thought I'd get some input.
Standard yahoo 5x5 H2H league. I'd consider a counter-offer to include one of his lesser OFers, but I need to be careful not to try patience too much. I've traded more than 12 times already in this league and have drawn heat for it. All thoughts are appreciated -- leave a link with yours.
