Pujols for CarGo?

[iaoto]

i'm in a 12 team keeper (9 carry over). my team did poorly the past two years and i wanted to improve it, so i set pujols on the block.
10x10 stats (r, 1b, 2b, 3b, hr, rbi, sb, bb, k, avg; w, l, cg, sho, sv, er, k, hlds, era, whip)

c - hundley
1b- pujols
2b- beckham
3b- bloomquist
ss- castro
of- braun, berkman, bruce
dh- granderson
bn- headley, stanton

sp- edwin jackson
sp- hamels
rp- uehara
rp- fuentes
p- clayton richard
p- kuroda
p- hellickson
bn- narveson
bn- jonathan sanchez
bn- r. a. dickey

i was offered the following:
carlos gonzalez, lester, ian desmond
for pujols, castro, jackson

another offer is

billy butler, matt cain, adrian beltre
for pujols, hiroki kuroda


thoughts on the offers? am i getting good value back?

sorry, i meant 15 carry over.
my intentions here are to get the best possible 15 players' production for next year.

I don't like either of those trades for you. You want to keep Castro, not trade him.

Pujols should get you top dollar/prospects. Don't settle for less during the 3rd week of the season.

do you think a counter offer of pujols/jackson for gonzalez/lester would be fair?

Fair, sure. Make sure he needs a 1B and it makes sense for his team. A trade like that improves your chances for next year but also keeps you in it for this year.

Its fair. I'm just not a big fan of letting go of pujols in general. pretty much a top 3 player for as long as i can remember. CarGo looks special but why pull the trigger now? Wait half a season b/c I'm pretty sure the trade will still be there then.
