Kennedy for J Upton?

[whoson1st0]

5x5 12team mixed league

I would be trading a $3 Kennedy (can be signed for up to 3 yrs @ +$5 each yr) and getting Justin Upton ($24, can also be signed for up to 3yrs @ +$5 each yr)

My other pitchers (We start 9) are:
SP: Felix, Shields, Beckett, Baker, Kuroda, Garza, Marcum
CL: Street, Putz

My other position players currently in my lineup are:
OF - McCutchen, Kemp, Wells, Victorino, Abreu (I would replace Abreu)
C - VMart, Lucroy (McCann on DL)
1B- Lind
2B- M Young
3B - Aramis
SS - Hanley
MI - Hardy
CI - Encarnacion
Util - Hafner

Thanks for your advice. As always, WHIR!

Not knowing how it affects your cap (if you have one), I'd make the move. Upton is going to be entering his prime and should be one of the best hitters over the next 3 years. Kennedy is nice but there are plenty of other pitchers out there.

I can actually only fit in Upton because McCann is hurt. Once McCann comes back, I'm sort of SOL on who to bench in order to fit in Upton.

do it, Hafner to the bench.
