**** Title edited to highlight new proposal ******
Just received a weird trade proposal, giving my Lowrie/Roberts for his Choo/Cain. Normally Id be all over this, but at my current #1 ranking and riduculously balanced lineup, Im not so sure I should mess with it. Any thought on if I should really accept this?
H2H 12 Team Mixed League/Redraft
C: Carlos Santana 1B:Prince Fielder 2B: Brandon Phillips SS: Starlin Castro 3B: David Wright OF: Jose Bautista OF: Ryan Roberts OF: Nick Swisher UTIL: David Ortiz BN: Martin Prado BN: Jed Lowrie
SP: Jared Weaver SP: Tommy Hanson SP: Edwin Jackson SP: Ted Lilly SP: Zach Britton SP: Ryan Dempster SP: Micheal Pineda RP: Francisco Rodriguez RP: Craig Kimbrel RP: Kevin Gregg

This was my thought as well, its hard to mess with something working well though, especially when I am getting consistent production better than I have before with this current team. I just needed to hear someone else say it I guess, and it would really shore up my ERA problem caused by Jackson and Dempster.

You're managing a fantasy lineup not a real life lineup
You aren't going to disturb any chemistry amongst your team
OK so before I could accept this trade, he took it down and proposed another one: Lowrie/Bautista/Kimbrel for Cain/Choo/League/Andrus
I dont want that offer because I dont need Andrus and League will soon be replaced by Aardsma (who I have on the DL), but he proposed that he is up for anything really, so I am thinking the following:
Lowrie/Bautista for Choo/Kemp
He really wants HR, and although Bautista is awesome, I think Kemp is up for huge numbers and Choo is solid and they make a better combination than Swisher Bautista and Roberts. Since I dont absolutely need Lowrie (Phillips and Castro are performing admirably), I think this could end up being better for me. Is this a fair reply? Any thoughts?
-You get Cain, which will bolster your SP. -You get to ride League out until Aardsma gets back. -Maybe trade Andrus should you get him?
Just my 2 cents...

Well the final trade offer is this: Lowrie/Bautista/Gregg for Choo/Kemp
I like this, especially since I have Aardsma coming off the DL soon to get another closer. Am I crazy for giving up Bautista, I think the HR total will spread out over the other 2 OF with more contributions and a power OF of Kemp/Choo/Swisher/Roberts. Any feedback will be returned
