I've been offered Felix and Crisp for Kemp. It's alluring, because I feel my starting pitching could use some help, and my offense is very solid...I just fear Kemp could be HUGE, and my OF could actually begin to look fairly weak, especially if Crisp went down for any amount of time. Thoughts? 5x5 roto 12 teamer. WHIR!

It's enticing, but you're OF crops is already shallow (Jackson as your #3 is rough) and Lester+Verlander is a good enough pitching staff without adding a top 3 pitcher. I don't think you need to do the deal .
Thoughts anyone? I'm probably not going to be doing this trade, as the other owner kind of rescinded... but do you think I should look to add a SP thru some sort of trade? I just feel I need one more solid guy behind my big two. Shields and Danks, and Holland for that matter could/should all be serviceable, but not quite the #3 I'm looking for, at least right now. I'm too weary of trading Kemp I think. I'm trying to think of what I could move. Any help or thoughts would be much obliged and I'll gladly help you out.

Kemp is my #1 OF this year... and without him your OF is baruuuutal. Your Offense as a whole is nasty right now so dont be messin with it just to grab the Big Cat.
So yeah, Felix could be the #1 SP this year, but he could also freak out and break down finally...it's happened.
Build off the WW.. I'm sure there are guys on there right now i'd take over Maggs, Moreland and Beltran) but that's just me...I'm always stashin more SP as they can pitch for you and are far more valuable then an extra couple AB's from a sub par replacement during the week..
Dont trade your Offense...i usually go the other way....and not in a man on man way...
