In my 12 team 5x5 NL only keeper league I am going for it and looking to improve my offense.
I was offered the following deal:
I receive Beltran (can't be kept), Holliday $35A, Scutaro $11B and Travis Wood (can't be kept) for Todd Frazier $1B (extension option next year), two crappy outfielders, David Hernandez (can't be kept) and Travis d'Arnaud $10M.
I made this offer:
I receive Prado $26A, Daniel Murphy (can't be kept), Ethier $23A, Venable $19A, M Byrd $10A for Frazier $1B, lots of junk, Travis d'Arnaud and a second round draft pick next year as well as this owners third round draft pick next year (this will be a early third round pick). Naturally, he said he wanted more and did not want the picks as asked for Javier Baez $10M to be thrown into the mix. My pitching categories are where I can really gain but I already traded for Cain and Latos so I'm hoping they will help me there.
So really the question is, does adding Baez make it worth it to get the extra players from the second deal? There is a slight catch here, I am doing very well in the hitting categories and can only gain about five more points (though obtaining all of them are unlikely). If I don't make a deal I will lose points in hitting categories. So I need to make a deal as I have about five dead spots. But I don't think I need to give up Baez to improve my offense that much. Another question, which players do you like better here? Perhaps I ask the second team what he'd give me for Frazier and d'Arnaud and see if I like that better than the first teams offer.
So have at it, what do you guys think?
