Need to upgrade 3B to make a 2nd half push. I'm currently 4th in a 10 team league. Should I offer Kemp for Youkilis? The only hitting category I consistently lose is strikeouts where Kemp and Upton are killing me. I also obviously need pitching. Should I target pitching instead and if so, who should I target? One of the owners has J. Santana, Carpenter, Greinke on the block. Thanks for the help.
I wouldn't offer Kemp for Youkilis straight up. I'd target someone else. Look to the Longoria owner. Offer Kemp and Sandoval for Longoria. Or try to get Wright. With Wright, I think you could ask for Wright plus another guy for Kemp and Sandoval.
I've tried the Longoria trade with those exact two players a couple of weeks ago and it was declined. The David Wright owner's team is below. As you can see his team is horrible and in 9th place so he needs a lot of help. Who should I go after with Wright...maybe Oswalt and offer Kemp, Sandoval and Marcum?
C Joe Mauer 1B Prince Fielder 2B Cristian Guzmán 3B David Wright SS Miguel Tejada IF David Ortiz OF Shane Victorino OF Michael Cuddyer OF Ichiro Suzuki Util José Guillén Util Carlos Peña BN Todd Helton BN Josh Willingham BN Cody Ross BN Dustin Pedroia BN Luke Scott DL Jacoby Ellsbury
SP A.J. Burnett SP Jon Lester SP Manny Parra RP Jonathan Papelbon RP Brian Fuentes RP Matt Lindstrom P Roy Oswalt P Johnny Cueto P Jon Garland DL Josh Beckett
i'd definitely try to get oswalt and wright, but i'm not sure that's enough. with marcum coming off the d/l, he might be leary. i'd offer it, and see if he accepts.
Offer a package that helps the 9th place team get some keepers for next year but also sends Wright to you. You should be able to get a deal done with that owner.
