AL only trade advice

[Bostonianboy]

I need help asap…I trade Josh Donaldson $1 for Greg Holland $12 in a 10 team al only keeper/auction ($280 budget) standard 5x5



Nathan is the only closer in the auction…I already have Frieri.

he needs an answer now! thanks penners.

I see more profit in Donaldson than in Holland (whom I wish I had on my various teams). Closers "appear out of nowhere" in the course of a season, but good hitting 3Bs are tough to find.

It's not a bad offer, but I think you're better off with Donaldson as of now.

I own a $14 Holland in a 12team AL only league but would trade him for a $1 Donaldson in a heart beat.

Yeah, I like the Donaldson side by quite a bit, even though I think Holland is a solid closer option. A $1 3B on the upswing is a pretty valuable commodity imo.

Stick with Donaldson. In a 10-teamer a couple teams will be looking to move a closer down the road. Also, grab a couple speculative / setup guys.

Last year I drafted Hanrahan (oops) and froze Reed, and traded for Uehara and Holland in July. I won the category by 9.
