More Trade Advice (Wright/Dye vs Liriano/Rolen)

[HerbalK]

Hey guys. What do you think of this trade. I'd give up the top rated 3B and a top 10 OF for a top 5 SP and a top 3-5 3B. I have Willis, Pettitte, Kazmir, Verlander, Zambrano, Pedro, Jered Weaver, Joe Blanton, and Doug Davis already. Do I need Liriano? Should I just stick with what I have and not mess with a good offense? I just dropped CPatt and added Edmonds, as well.

 

Thanks for your advice,

Herb.

Well Liriano is going to pitch way more this year than he has in his career, so it's possible that he will wear down. I don't think he will, but with all that pitching you have, there's no reason to downgrade at 3b and lose a stud OF to take the chance he won't. I'd much rather have Wright and Dye, especially considering all the pitching you already have.

Thanks for your reply. I decided against the trade. It'd disrupt my offense too much.

Ok, I countered with Wright and Scot Shields for Liriano, Lowell, and Trevor Hoffman. I am more willing to pick up pitching now with Kazmir's start pushed back for the second time in 2-3 weeks. What do you guys think of this move now?
