Heyward's Value

[hscsoph]

I am in need of a starting pitcher and have been offered Yovani Gallardo for Jason Heyward. While this deal is tempting, I think Heyward is worth a little more than the Brewers ace. What level of starting pitcher would you target for Heyward?

I am thinking a Verlander level pitcher, some suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Is this a keeper league? And how many teams?

In a non-keeper league I would look at Hanson or Kershaw though Kershaw might be a little too high.

Sorry, it is a 10 team 5X5 league, non keeper.

My roster is below: I have depth at OF so figure I can live without Heyward. I was thinking kershaw too!

C - Carlos Santana
1B - Kendry Morales
2B - Rickie Weeks
3B - David Wright
SS - Hanley Ramirez
OF - Matt Holliday
OF - Andrew McCutchen
OF - Jason Heyward
Util - Paul Konerko
Util - Adam Lind
Mat Latos
Wandy Rodriguez
Ricky Nolasco
Daniel Hudson
Brian Matusz
Trevor Cahill
Ricky Romero
Johan Santana (DL)
John Axford
Drew Storen
Joel Hanrahan
Jake Westbook
Matt Thornton
Jason Bay
Jose Tabata

In a redraft then I would say a Verlander type.
Based on what you put I keep Heyward and let the other owners know he is available.

Okay here's the update, I can get Verlander or Kershaw for Heyward. Do you make this deal and who would you rather have? I am leaning towards Kershaw.

Definitely Kershaw.

Kershaw for the upside, park, and division. I'd have done it for Gallardo, but this is even better.
