6x6 H2H league, 10 teams, 19 man rosters, up to 6 keepers per year. If you don't keep up to 6 you get a first round then second round pick, etc, before the others who kept 6. Does that make sense?:)
I have been offered CC and Pablo for my Kershaw.
Here is my roster and who would be my 6 keepers and would they be better before or after the trade?
I'd say keep Pujols, Hanley, McCutchen, Kershaw, Stanton and Price.
I wouldn't do the deal, because keeping Kershaw and Price is better than keeping CC and Pablo. But maybe if you could take out Kershaw and throw Hellickson plus something, that would work a lot better. Because of Hellickson being due for regression and all.
My opinions will prove to be unpopular, but here goes. CC is a stud. He's aging but he's consistent. As Sporting News says, he had a great year last year and was even unlucky.
I know he's sturdy but I get a feeling the train may slow down. (I have no reason for this except my opinion)
And A-Ram and Pablo are ranked pretty even for this season. You would be getting a littler better and much younger, but Kershaw is just awesome.
I'm a big believer in taking hitting over pitching. But from my years of playing, if you have a top-flight ace (especially a very young ace) you can ride those guys to championships based on their differentials.
I think if you make this trade you improve for the short term. If this league is shaky and may "fold" then I would consider it but if this is a long-term league I would keep the young ace.

Agreed no reason to do this deal.

Tough call. I see you can now keep 7 v. the original 6 stated. First, you may want to go in an edit the original post because I don't believe some of the fellas saw that 7v6.
Ok, I like Panda. Is this a long term keeper league? If so, maybe stay with Kershaw. If not, maybe make the deal. But then again you gain a 1st rd pick with only 6.
All in all, you are not going to make a bad decision on this one. Not much help when I reread my position. Sorry!
