What deal should I make? WHIR

[coyotesjr97]

I need SBs (though i've somewhat addressed this with waiver pick ups in OF)and saves the most without losing much production elsewhere. I would prefer a 3rd basemen.

I offered Ubaldo and Uribe to a team with a solid lineup but no pitching for Evan Longoria. He wants two pitchers instead, but I'm reluctant to part with two. I like rolling with a big pitcher list rather than bench hitters.

I also thought of a package deal that would send Ubaldo, Victorino, and Uribe for Papelbon, Headley, and Hanley.

Another option is trading Ubaldo and Uribe for Beltre to fill my 3rd base hole. And then just picking up Chris Perez off of FA.

Or..I'm in first place I could just stand pat and hope I have a deep enough team. Thoughts?

Here's my team:

C-Montero
1st-Fielder
2nd-Cano
3rd-Uribe
SS-Rollins
OF-Pagan
OF-Dunn
OF-Rasmus
Utility-Gardener

SP-Ubaldo
Jered Weaver
Price
Romero
Cahill
Zito
Lewis
Hanson

RP-Aardsma
Nunez
Axford
Rhodes (need holds)

DL-Victorino
DL-Andrew Bailey

Of the deals that you mentioned, the one i like the best is the package with Victorino. Good move to part with Ubaldo based on your strengths. Have you considered Figgins? Most likely cheap and a good source of steals but you take a pretty big hit in rbi and homers; and batting average too now that i think about it. Your team is deep and in good shape, but moving Uribe and a pitcher to upgrade at third would be beneficial. Im not in love with any of these deals, but to upgrade Uribe would be big for you i think. Consider negotiating a bit more on the longo deal - if you can pick him up you would be really really good. Good luck

Do you think I should try offering a second pitcher? If I do, who? And anybody you would recommend looking at off of waivers to fill the hole in my pitching staff?



Also anybody else have any thoughts?

First of all, I would definitely not trade Ubaldo and Uribe for Beltre.

I would love to get Longoria here. You say Longoria's owner wants two pitchers. If you made this deal, you would need to pick up a pitcher off free agency. Are there any decent ones available? If so, I'd do Ubaldo and Lewis for Longoria. He's a beast and will help you in every category.

I also like the Victorino/Papelbon trade decently well.

Help with mine?
