Making a run (WHIR)

[Holein1]

I am in need of ERA, WHip, Ks and Wins. I am going to trade away cargo for a upgrade in these areas. His main value is he is 1 9th round keeper next year

I get

Hamels or King Felix
Markakis

I give

Cargo

First...please confirm this is a good trand....2nd would you take Hamels or King Felix. I though king felix was a no brainer but hamels has a better whip era and will get me more wins.

Is this a keeper league?
H2H or Roto?

Need a few more details.

Keeper league roto. I am in the top 3 in all batting cats but middle of the row in pitching cats. Here is my team. You can only keep keepers for 2 years so next year will be cargos final keeper year (n the 9th round). I cant keep felix but hamels would be a 4th round keeper and markakis would be 6th round but probaly wont be kept because my 5 keepers are already spoken for.

I would want Felix in the deal, but considering Cargo you can keep for a 9th, I would try to get pitching from somewhere else. Markakis is worthless and Cargo in the 9th is way too valuable.

It's a classic win it now at the cost of some keeper value next year deal. If the added pitching gives you a shot at a title now I say take it. Who knows if CarGo's wrist might become a chronic issue or not?

I like Hamels more than Felix here. Seattle flat out does not win games.

I agree with the previous post and would accept the deal for Hamels and Markakis. Seattle has lost 16 games in a row, which basically means that acquiring Felix will not help you in the win department.
