Should I do this trade?

Postby amarlls » Sat Apr 14, 2012 10:51 pm

12 team keeper 5x5 roto. I got offered Jason Motte for my Freese. I need another closer and am thinking yes because dont know if Freese can keep it up. Should I do this trade?

Drop Melancon for Casilla & keep your bat. Right idea on trying to sell Freese though. I just wouldn't do it for a closer.

No way. Don't overpay for saves. You can always scour the wire.

Help out?:

Do you even play him? I'm still a little skeptical on Freese, but he's picked up right where he left off last year. I think it's a fair deal, and I would do it if I were you. I think Motte is a top 10 closer, and chances are you aren't going to find one of those on the wire. I wasn't high on Freese to begin with, so my opinion may be biased.

I'd hold hm for now and search the wire for closers. You want to get optimal value
