I'm inclined to turn this down unless somebody here can persuade me to do otherwise. Would love to hear some counteroffer ideas that would help tip this deal in my favor. I posted our rosters below. THANKS!

For you to win I would think instead of getting jennings you get bourn. But, I don't think he would go for that. Your team is already twice as good as his. I think you would still win for your situation if you did

I don't really like this trade. However you might want to look for another deal. I think you could use an upgrade in the outfield, and your pitching looks strong.
I think that this is a GREAT trade for you. Your team is severely lacking in the stolen base department, which both Jennings and Pedroia will help you with. I actually like Pedroia more than Cano straight up this season (and I am from NYC).
Bourn may be a stolen base machine, but Jennings stole 20 bases within the last 2 months of the season. Plus, Jennings has the kind of power that Bourn doesn't. PLUS the fact that your in a keeper league, and Jennings could very well be an up and coming star.
In other words, Jennings and Bourn are not even in the same hemisphere (IMO)
I wouldn't do it as i like Cano over Pedroia, and Cain by quite a bit over Jennings. I would look to move a C, since you have 2 in your lineup. Jennings career high was 12 hrs in the minors. He projects to 10-12. You do need speed, but i'm not overpaying to get it.

You guys, I'm an idiot and confused the settings with another league. SORRY...
The real settings are: yahoo, 12 teams, roto, redraft, 5X5.... thanks. Any other thoughts considering the different settings??

I agree with this. I don't like Jennings this much. I need to see more from him before I am giving up a pitcher like Cain for him.
