Trade question?

[FooteNasty]

Was offered Texeira and Josh Hamilton for Joey Votto? What do you guys think? It's a keeper league, and both of them would instantly become 2 of my 3 keepers on my team. . .

Who are they knocking out of the two keeper spots?

Without knowing anything else, I'd keep Votto.

I definitely see why Votto is tradeable.....

I wouldnt want/take Tex over many of those below e.g. Butler, Freeman, Lawrie, Jones. I like all better than him.

That being said, Id do better. I like Hamilton but he is a huge health risk and 32 now

Keep Votto along with Butler and Adam Jones

Keep Votto along with Butler and Adam Jones

Hammy may regress with pressure in LA, plus he is a head case and injury prone and on the wrong side of 30, Tex is basically a .so/so average 30hr hitter now

help with mine?

I would tend to agree

I don't think 1B is your problem lol, you have many other glaring holes. 32 isn't old and I would never bet against The Natural. With that said I wouldn't be afraid to move Votto having Butler and Freeman, however I don't think I'd take Tex back. I would buy low on Hamilton and try to get a better big bat at one of your weaker positions and/or possibly an arm
