I just traded Carlos Gonzalez. Am I Dumbass? ;-)

[diesek]

My point of view is that no player is indespensable and if the price is right, I am willing to trade him. I got a trade offer for Gonzalez that I felt wasn't bad and so I accepted. Let me know your opinions on the trade.

I am managing the Arizona Diamondbacks in a 14 team dynasty league and I am currently in second place.

Here is the roster for the team:

C: Miguel Olivio
1B: Joey Votto
2B: Rickie Weeks
3B: Ryan Zimmerman, Alex Gordon
SS: Stephen Drew
OF: Alfonso Soriano, Justin Upton, Chris Young, Adam Jones, Burrell, Carlos Gonzalez, Julio Borbon,

SP: Brandon Webb, Cole Hamels, Chad Billingsley, Scott Kazmir, David Price, Joel Hanrahan, Clay Buccholz, Homer Bailey
RP: Fransisco Rodriguez, Jose Valverde, Carlos Marmol

I traded

Alfonso Soriano
Carlos Gonzalez
Valverde
Borbon

for

Mark Teixeria
Brandon Phillips
Desmond Jennings
Pick in this year's Minor League Draft

I am thinking of trading Phillips once the trade shows on the rosters. Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks in Advance!!

Great deal for you. Remember Brad Hawpe, Seth Smith, Ryan Spilborghs, Dexter Fowler, Willey Tavares, Corey Sullivan...the list can go on for OF's the Rockies cycle in and out of the OF. Granted Gonzalez is a better player then the others he still stands to lose some time when you have depth. But you're getting Tex who is scorching, Phillips who is 20/20 like Gonzalez and Jennings, makes the deal well worth it.
