Hey all, In a 16 team, 9 keeper league, head-to-head each category: Hitting----R, RBIs, 1Bs, 2Bs, 3Bs, HRS, AVG, Steals Pitching----ERA, WHIP, W, L, Ks, Saves
My keepers right now are: Tulo Longo J. Upton Shane Vic Brett Lawrie Ike Davis
Kershaw Dan Hudson Strasborg
I was offered this trade: My Tulo, My Lawrie for Prince Fielder and Elvis Andrus and his 10 round pick (which would be the 1 overall pick after the keepers, and no we do not HAVE to keep 9.)
I think the trade suits your teams needs very well. You are gaining solid consistent production from 2 of the most healthy players in the game. You also get the top available pick in the draft. You are giving up some potential - but i think lawrie is overrated and tulo has yet to play a full season while prince and andrus have not had any substantial injuries.
I don't think I make that trade. Tulo's replacement value at a thin position is hard to beat. I think Ike will have a good year, so you're covered there. Lawrie is a 20/20 candidate which is hard to beat at 3B. so you look down 140 players or so and is that player a deal maker? Probably not. I'd pass.

Do you have another batter you can keep instead of Huddy? Hitters are EASILY more valuable....and ptiching can ALWAYS be had.....even in a deep league.
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!
