Tejada and Matsui for Manny Ramirez?

[Davidius]

This is a 10 team HTH league with 17 starting hitters (2 2B, 2SS, 2C, 5 OF, etc.). I am trading Tejada and Matsui for Manny Ramirez. That leaves me with ARod and Kaz Matsui as my 2 SSs BTW. It boils down to Ramirez/KMatsui vs. HMatsui/MRamirez. Should I do this?

Yes, Manny will put up better numbers than Tejada, so if you have ARod to plug in a SS, pull the trigger.

You got me confused. Are you asking whether I'd take Ramirez and K. Matsui or Tejada and H. Matsui? If that is the question the answer absolutely not. Tejada and H. will trouce whatever Ramirez and K. will put up. Plus, Tejada and H. are rocks while Ramirez usually gets hurt somewhere along the line and you have no clue on how K. will do anyway. He could be Felix Fermin as far as you know. Keep Tejada.
