My Ryan Zimmerman for his Felix Hernandez WHIR

[sigriffey]

[b]Both players have to go back into the draft. Do I do this deal to give myself a dominant rotation for the playoff stretch? I will eventually get Utley, KInsler and Ellsbury back so great offense is on the way... and I have A-Rod and Longoria so 3B is covered.

Give: Ryan Zimmerman
Get: Felix Hernandez[/b]

I would definitely pulll the trigger here. Once you get healthier Zimmerman's points in UTIL wouldn't matter as much, and certainly not as much as a starter you can plug in and get every point out of. Felix gives you a great rotation and a great chance to walk away with a title. I definitely prefer this to a Sanchez + Wiggy trade. Good luck

Thanks ... I wish I could address my 2B situation in this deal but I just don't want to pay up a Cueto or Lilly to get the likes of a Uribe in the deal.... I can tread water until Kinsler or Utley return.

Again, the downside: this deal is with the team on my heals but it's probably good I weaken his staff and I will still have a better offense when I get my horses back.

Yeah, that's a downside, but the hit his rotation takes from losing a Felix is a hell of a lot harder than losing a Sanchez. I still think you win, and like you said, when your guys are back your batting situation will be more than fine.

Have to take this, you got stout 3b and can always throw Stanton in Util till you get those guys back. Getting Felix will be great.

Help with mine?
