I have an offer from an owner: my Granderson (19) for his desmond Jennings (7). Should I take it? Any keeper changes? Thanks!

I like your 5 selections...as for the trade, I think its pretty close.

On one hand, $19 is definitely a great price for Granderson if he puts up 80% of the numbers he had last year. I'm assuming the price will go up if you keep him after 2012? he may be worth $25+ for a few years, but he might not....

$7 for Jennings could be a bargain, and that is definitely less than he would go for if he's thrown back...but, imo, he has a lot to prove.

I would be conservative and keep Granderson

If he can throw in an upgrade at pitcher, I would be more willing to package Beachy/Wainwright + Granderson for Jennings + ?

As overvalued as Grandy may be going into this season, I still think $19 is great value for him and I'd hang onto him, even with Jennings' tremendous upside.

As it stands, you have your keepers correct.

What are the keeper rules? If you made the trade how much would Desmond cost you next season?

Keepers increase by $4 every year. So next year grandy is 23, Jennings is 11.

[raiders_umpire]

Make the trade for Jennings.

[Urban Cohorts]

Make the trade for Jennings.

Agreed. The upside plus the low cost will benefit you tremendously if Jennings keeps improving.

We also havea farm sysyem. He has mathew moore... should i try and counter with granderson and brett jackson for Jennings and matthew moore?

Btw, farm system guys who we add to our mlb roster will cost 10 to keep next year

That's something I would have no problem with what so ever, though I doubt your trade partner would be too keen on it unless he is a massive Granderson advocate.

Agreed. Would be a great deal for you, but not sure on the probability of it being accepted. Worth a shot though to get the conversation going that way.
