Encarnacion and Edwin Jackson for Ian Kennedy. Please help.

[xxxtheizxxx]

I would get Encarnacion. I'm calling Jackson a wash. I don't think he holds value.
I would give Ian Kennedy.

My other SPs are Lincecum, Peavy, Shields, Garza, Garcia, Kuroda, and Wandy.

Do I make this trade?

I like Edwin Jackson actually. I would probably do this deal. Kennedy isnt too bad of a price for Encarnacion with the way he is playing.

Thanks. Anyone else?

A little help, please.

Are you weak at 3B? I think your pitchers are strong enough to downgrade from Kennedy to Jackson though. I'd probably do it, but more info on your league and team would be helpful.

Not a good trade. You are buying high on Encarnacion and selling low on Ian K. You are stacked at hitting so I like the idea of trading for hitting, but you can get someone better. You don't need E-Jack so just take him out of the deal and upgrade the hitter.

I agree that Edwin Jackson is a wash.

Here's my team and maybe this will help. I'm good at third, but I was looking to beef up my Utility.

I'd say you should be the one to be selling 2:1. I would package Ian K and Dunn and go for an elite bat. Since you have utility openings in a sense, you can go after anyone you want. Maybe a disgruntled Pujols owner will be attracted by Dunn's 10 HR. But you should be able to sniff out a top notch player with that package.
