Gallardo for Phillips? OP Updated! WHIR

[ATLbraves]

Would you do Capps and Infante for Gallardo?

That is a MUCH better deal for you. Accept immediately.

Update: Well before he took Infante/Capps for Gallardo (which he wanted to do), someone offered me Tommy Hanson for Capps straight up, which I took.

However, he was interested in it, so should I shoot for another 2 for 1 with Infante, possibly with Casilla? Or should I ditch this trade now since I got Hanson? Or is there someone else that would be good to pair with Infante? Any help?

Hmmm... Your starting pitchers worry me, haha. I would try to swing two starters for an ace right now. Jimenez and Johnson will not have a good year. Even bringing in gallardo would just add to more pitchers that should be pitching lights out but for one reason or another are not making it happen this year. Try and go after a Haren, greinke, zimmerman might be do able.
Maybe accept the offer wait for Gallardo to have a good outing or two and then trade him?
I really only like Kershaw from your starters. You need at least one or two more legit starters. Jimenez, Johnson and gallardo still have enough value to get you someone really good.

Sig needed updating. Roster is currently:
C- Ruiz
1b- Konerko
2B- Phillips
3B- Beltre
SS- Gordon
OF- Braun, Rasmus, Quentin
U- Infante, Hosmer
B- a Gordon, ichiro, Middlebrooks
DL- AJackson
SP- Kershaw, Dempster, JJohnson, Hammel, ASanchez, Burnett
RP- Jansen, Capps, Casilla, Russel

And I just traded Capps for Hanson. Don't have Gallardo yet. Think I should trade for him?

[argh33]

I just saw Santana on there two... Trade him, someone in your league must still believe in him enough to get you something. I'm sure you didn't enjoy having him so far this season, his fastball velocity is down, and he doesn't have a good third pitch to get guys out, won't have a good season, maybe after he develops another pitch but it won't be this season.

The trade is even to me, but I'm not a firm believer that Gallardo will benefit you more than Phillips.

Thanks for the help on mine.

I agree here. Your pitching is actually coming together nicely. You have an ace, a handful of 2s and 3s, and some good back end guys. Overall, with Hanson, it's a nicely balanced team, I wouldn't even make a move for Gallardo now, unless it's Infante/Russel or just Infante.

Alright yeah I turned down the trade. Told him I'll do it for Infante but gonna hold onto Phillips.

Thanks!
