Oswalt's Trade Value

AL Only $260 auction -10 team keeper league standard 5X5

I already have a solid pitching staff and have Oswalt so I am thinking of trading him for a Bat. Of course I will need to deal him to a contender since he is a one year deal for this year since he only signed a one year deal in Texas. I was looking at the following players who are free agents after this year in our league:

A Beltre
JJ Hardy
A Jones
B Butler
K Morales
A Gordon

have I overvalued Oswalt?

Beltre and Gordon are probably too high. Jones is WAY too high.

Hardy and Butler are probably on the high side of fair. Morales is fair. I don't expect Roy to be great in that ballpark and his K/9 is nothing special any more, but he could win 10 games.

As for Gordon, this isn't 2011

I know, but his owner has stuck with him this long and probably isn't going to bail cheaply at this point. If you do think he'll bounce back he could be worth asking about but I wouldn't be shocked if his owner says no.
