Good or Bad Trade

[texascub]

My offense is at or near the top of the league in every category except SB. My pitching is horrible on the other hand, with me dead last in saves, era, and whip. To help my pitching I've proposed this trade to another team:

 

I trade: Jason Bay, Marcus Giles, and Mark Mulder

 

I get: Alfonso Soriano and Francisco Rodriguez.

 

It seems like a good trade to me, the other team is 2nd in the league but needs runs and average.

 

For me, the loss of Bay doesn't hurt because I've got Shannon Stewart on the bench who has similar stats. I lose some runs scored from Giles but Soriano will give me more power and speed. Mulder doesn't hurt because I get rid of his high era and whip, replacing it with K-Rod's low numbers. I've also still got Sabathia, Morris, Hudson, and Peavy for SPs.

 

Any opinions on the trade?

On the surface I'd say no, but based upon your needs and your backups I'd probably do it.

It seems like a dead trade right now. The guy that runs the other teams is really inactive and probably hasn't even looked at the trade. My pitching is still horrible though. With Mulder, Sabathia, Morris, Byrd, Eaton, Hudson, Daniel Cabrera, Ayala, Looper, and Duchscherer on my staff my combined number for pitching is still god-awful: 16 saves, 300Ks, 4.51 era, and a whip of 1.44.

you might want to pick up Jorge Sosa from the Braves, he's been doing great for me.

Most of Sosa's numbers have been good, but I really can't afford his 1.43 WHIP. There is a good batch of SPs out there right now, I'm not sure who I should pick up though. Right now Weaver, Loaiza, Marquis, Chacin, and Hampton are all FAs.
