Guy in my league has already burned through all of his starts, so his starters are now useless to him. He has Kershaw, whom he can't drop. I'm sure people will lowball him on offers. I was thinking of offering him Panda for Kershaw straight up. I have Chris Johnson at third and Trumbo at CI. I'm way off the pace in starts, last in the league, so I could use another quality arm. The problem is, I need help in the BA and RBI categories, which Panda provides. Plus I already have Verlander, Price, Sale, Halloday, Matt Moore, Burner and Mike Minor, and I know people will cut bait with other starters in the future (guys like Haren, Garza and Hanson have been dropped just this week). Should I make the deal and stream a bat if need be, or go for the big fish in Kershaw and really lock it down? Trade deadline is on Friday.
