Got a trade offer in my 13 team NL only league where I'm going for it. It's a 5x5 league normal cats with K/IP.
Volquez is $7B (needs to be extended next year) and Kershaw can't be kept and Ramirez is $25 so he's not keepable. I would also be including minor leaguer Tim Wheeler $3M the outfielder for Colorado who is crushing the ball in AA (16 homers, .325/.412/.628).
My worst categories are W, ERA and WHIP so Kershaw will help but is it enough of a return for Volquez and Wheeler? Ramirez would be replacing Jerry Hairston.
One thing that is making me hesitant (other than Kershaw's last two starts; 6 ER in each but at tough ballparks) is that another team has just announced that they are dumping and they have Billingsley and Cain.
If I were to make this deal I would still have some chips to make a run at Cain and/or Billingsley; I have McDonald $10A and minor leaguers Randall Delgado $5M, Cesar Puello $5M and Donovan Tate $10M. But I think Volquez is the best chip so I want to make sure I get the best return for him.
Thoughts?
