Am I a seller? Deal Howard for Haren, Storen, AJones? WHIR

Postby Millhouse » Thu Jul 29, 2010 11:12 am

12-team 5x5 mixed keeper. I'm in 5th place, 19 pts out of the 3rd place money. We can keep three guys each year, kept in round drafted the previous year (e.g. I drafted Mauer 6th round last year, so this year he was my 6th rounder).

Was just offered his Adam Jones, Dan Haren & Drew Storen for my Ryan Howard

TEAM (and keepers/round they'll be drafted in next year)
C-Mauer
1B-Howard
2B-Cano (4th round)
SS-Alexei
MI- B.Roberts
3B-A.Gordon (ugh)
UTIL: Berkman/C.Santana (25th round)
OF: BJ Upton, Granderson, Bay, Stanton, A.Torres, L.Scott
SPs: Hamels, Strasburg (14th round), J.Garcia, E.Santana
RPs: KRod, Thornton, Weurtz, Corpas

Would prob drop Corpas and Weurtz if I made this deal. I think I could get more for Howard if I dealt him.

OR, do I deal Mauer (since I have/believe in Santana) and bring in some killer young talent at another position I need?

Thoughts? Leave a link WHIR ;-D

Neither Haren,Jones or Storen would be a keeper for you next year. Trading Howard would remove any chance of you catching 3rd place. If you do trade Howard it has to be for a keeper next season.

I would hold off and try to sell to somebody who is looking to make Howard a keeper. You get solid value for him and the deal might help you make the playoffs, but if somebody is out of the chase and looking to make a keeper upgrade they might be willing to slightly overpay for someone like Howard. If you want to try to catch 3rd place, Howard might be a good guy to sell to a non-contender.

You have good keepers. I think you are a seller, since you really can't make up 19 points. With Garcia on an innings cap, you are even further in the hole. It's a shame that you can't catch up, but there isn't any other play available.

Santana in the 25th is an excellent keeper. It sucks that you only get to keep 3 guys, so you can't really build up much to move into next year.
