12 team H2H 7x7 keeper league. I'm being offered Adrian Gonzalez for Brett Lawrie, Joey Gallo and Max Fried (we are allowed to stash 15 minor league players yearly). I need a 1B and have Longoria as my 3B, my question is Adrian enough of an upgrade to lose Lawrie (who I have high hopes for) along with two top upcoming prospects. 1B is rather deep and I'm sure I could pick up a serviceable one in the draft? Any thoughts? Thanks

I just dont think that AGon is gonna bring you what you are wanting--try elsewhere is my opinion.

Lawrie has huge upside whereas AGon is what he is---pretty solid.

This is tough. It could go either way. I'm guessing that this is a deeper than average league. I would likely keep Lawrie, but would not fault you one bit if you decide to accept.

I think you can do that trade, you will be fine with Agone

This one is a tough one. Perfect for the cafe!

Me, I would take the trade. Regardless of Lawrie's upside AGone is a proven commodity 1 year removed from an MVP season had JV not been such a stud that year. Personally I project very solid first or second round type of production from him this season. Something like 100/25/115/.310 with potential to do even better (especially in that lineup)!

Lawrie is still unproven to me. Last year they had him batting 6-7 for most of the season and givin the new bats the Jays added I expect that not to change much this coming season.

This. A-gonz was disappointing last year but I don't think he's at the point where you are trading him for guys who are not proven studs. Lawrie has plenty of potential but didnt really do much all that impressive last year.

Cyboninja is right, 1 year ago this guy put up MVP numbers. Ill take the guy with the proven track record who has consistently been a top player.

Yeah, I would absolutely give Lawrie to get Adrian Gonzalez. AGonz in undervalued right now. My hunch is that he gets enough of the old mojo back to make that a good deal for you.
