no way. weiters MAY be a stud, but that is far from a given. Mauer IS a stud and Price is proving his value this year. Stay away from this.

Please help with mine...

i would not part with mauer and price. they are 2 of the primeire players at their positions and very young.

You definitely have the right idea about trading big money players now for keepers for next year. I think this trade doesn't benefit you all that much. I don't like Wieters at $19 as a great keeper option. He has regressed this year and was a product of a lucky .348 BABIP last year. Cueto at $9 is the real target here, and Ramirez is a throw-in. I like Mauer at $24 about the same as Wieters at $19. I would make the trade if there was no other option, but you might be selling yourself a bit short on your players. People commenting here aren't understanding that you are 100% competing for the future, not this year at all. I would try to extract a better keeper option than Wieters. If possible, you could add in more big money players to entice the other owner to throw in another keeper like Cueto.

That article should supplement your thoughts on the matter, though it seems you already have a great grasp on things.

Choo, Rasmus, Strasburg, and Boesch will all do great things for you next year for very little money.
