Would you offer this trade?

I'm on the fence on whether I should offer the following trade.

 

I give:

- Ian Kinsler

- Derek Jeter

 

I get:

 

- Troy Tulowitzki

- Robinson Cano

 

It is a 6x6 keeper league with the regular 5 hitting categories plus OPS. My reasoning for offering this trade is that Kinsler, though awesome, is a pretty high injury risk. Also, obtaining Tulowitzki would give me a top flight SS to build upon in the future. I feel this trade would pretty much be a wash in terms of production this year, but would be beneficial moving forward. Would you offer this deal?

Would I offer it? Yes.

 

Would I accept if I was on the other side? No.

 

Tulo > Kinsler IMO because as you said Kinsler is an injury risk and also Tulo plays the tougher offensive position, not to mention Tulo is a much better all around offensive player.

 

Jeter vs. Cano? Sure, Jeter might still have another big season or two in him, but Cano is going to benefit more from Yankee stadium in the long run than Jeter will. I'm assuming this is a keeper league.

 

I'd rather have Tulo and Cano than Kinsler and Jeter. Though it's not that bad of an offer, and you might be able to do some convincing and haggling to make it work

Ok, so I just made the offer. Since Kinsler is on the DL, I also threw in Polanco to fill in for him, and asked for Zambrano in return. The guy is a Cards fan who loves veterans, so I hope it works. He was already talking about dropping Zambrano today, so I figure he might like to get something in return for him, plus Polanco had a big day today.
