Complex trade issues

[onejayhawk]

16 team H2H. I am evaluating my keeper status prior to the deadline

I must keep 3, with an optional 4th. Option cost is my 1st pick (ie 4th round, hence the designatior)
2B Robinson Cano 4
OF Jacoby Ellsbury 4
3B Adrian Beltre 4
SP Zack Greinke 4
SP Neftali Feliz 4

These have options costing the indicated round, which I would likely exercise.
1B Paul Goldschmidt 6
OF Mike Trout 9
1B Anthony Rizzo 13
1B, 3B, OF Mark Trumbo 14
SS, 3B Xander Bogaerts 15 (maybe)
SP Henderson Alvarez 18
SP Matt Harrison 19

These players slot into empty rounds 10-17. Keep up to 5 (6 if I drop Bogaerts)
RP Ernesto Frieri
SP Edwin Jackson
2B, 3B, OF Trevor Plouffe
3B, OF Nick Castellanos
SS Andrelton Simmons
SP Julio Teheran
SP Zack Wheeler
2B, SS Danny Espinosa

I have an offer of Freese 7 and Hunter Pence 4 for Trumbo 14 and Rizzo 13.

If I understand this offer, I hate it for you. It seems like a no brainer to say NO.

[onejayhawk]

I did.

How do you think the rebuild is going?

J

[onejayhawk]

New offer. Jesus Montero for Pence, and he will throw in Kubel. I need a good C.

Trumbo
Rizzo
Cheerleader (Michel McKenry)

Montero
Freese
Kubel

I like this one, even with the keeper hit. Kubel is a cheap keeper as well.

[Gregg]

I did.

How do you think the rebuild is going?

I think the rebuild is going well, but you keep trying to trade the players I would actually want on my team next year.

What are Kubel and Montero's salaries?

[onejayhawk]

This is a trade for this year, with an eye to retaining value for the draft. Its H2H, so I only need to make 6th to make the playoffs.

Freese (7)
Montero (10)
Kubel (W)

Trumbo (14)
Rizzo (13)

Kubel will work out about round 11 or 12. The increment is 4. Rizzo can be kept 14, 10, 6 so three years. Montero is two years. the point here is taht I can carry all three to 2013 and Montero and Kubel to 2014, if I am willing to part with the picks.

I like this one a lot better. Helps balance out your team.
