I've been offered:
Gavin Floyd and Chris Perez for Konerko.

I didn't draft any closers because I felt they were going too early so I loaded up on offense and SP. I feel that my bench batters can produce enough to closely replicate what I'd be losing with Konerko. The real question for me is whether I'd be getting enough back for Konerko. I'd probably drop Niemann.

What do you think?

I like Perez over Konerko.

I like Perez over Konerko.

Yeah, but why make the deal? Strategically speaking, you're going to get 1 point for the saves category whether you have your current projected 0 saves or 30 saves with Perez...

Unless this is only trade number 1 and you plan on acquiring more closers, I'd just settle with the Save category being a loss since you didn't address it in the draft.

[MaudDib]

the deal itself it a good one. Not sure how much one closer can help you though. Saying that, it seems like you can always find closers off the WW or somewhere else so this might work out better than it looks now.

You might be able to get a better closer like Jose Valverde for Konerko. Shop around.

[MotorCityKitties]

I've actually shopped konerko around quite a bit and the Valverde owner doesn't want to make any moves right now. I plan to be very active on the waiver wire to make my team competitive in saves. I figured this would be a good start.

Yeah, I think I would do this. Perez finally looked pretty clutch at the end of last year. As long as you can get another closer at some point then it should be worth it.
Thoughts on mine?
