Trade Advice

[texascub]

In one of my league someone has proposed to trade me Austin Kearns, Jason Giambi, and Dontrelle Willis for Gary Sheffield and Grady Sizemore. I do need help at 1B but Sheffield is finally starting to wake up, and other than that the rest of the trade doesn't help me too much. In the OF I've got Beltran, Rios, Sizemore, Markakis, and Hamilton and I'm not too wild about getting rid of Sizemore for Kearns. Willis wouldn't help my SP either since I've already got Sheets, Harang, Kazmir, Glavine, Wakefield, Escobar, and Schmidt on the DL if he ever decides to get healthy. I was going to reject immediately when I saw it, but I decided to post it here first to get some reaction before I do.

I don't think your pitching is very good, all things considered. Yes you have Sheets, but he's never healthy. Harang is very good, but there's not another pitcher on your staff I'd put above Willis right now.

 

That being said, no way I give up Sizemore and Sheff for that package. Not a chance.

The pitching has been really good for me so far. This is a late league so we're only now starting our 3rd week of play, but I've been 8-2-0 in the pitching categories so far.

Sizemore is a stud 5 category guy and you'll be getting back guys who are going to hurt you in at least one category...pass.

I already rejected it, though I am considering a trade with him for Zambrano. He's had him sitting on the bench all season and I think I can get him cheap.
