***UPDATE*** HanRam Dynasty Trade Decision

Stay connected for news and updates

***UPDATED*** Counter-offer didn't work so I've updated the poll to 2 choices.  Please select.

ORIGINAL POST:

I'm in a 10-team Dynasty League (Year 7) which we play on Yahoo.com with no minor leagues or salaries or contracts or anything like that - just straight Yahoo Fantasy Baseball. I was offered Mark Teixeira and Ian Kinsler for Hanley Ramirez, which I turned down (at least for now).  I'm considering making a counter-offer for the same players, but I would extend it to be Mark Teixeira and Ian Kinsler and Stephen Strasburg for Hanley Ramirez and Jake Peavy and Dexter Fowler.  I'm concerned with Kinsler - his power numbers are nonexistent and even in his best year (2009), he only batted .253.  I have enough low-BA guys on my team!  I believe Tex will bounce back, though.

Here is my team:

C    Matt Wieters (Bal - C)
1B   Lance Berkman (Hou - 1B)
2B    Dan Uggla (Fla - 2B)
3B    Ian Stewart (Col - 2B,3B)
SS    Hanley Ramirez (Fla - SS)
CI    Carlos Pena (TB - 1B)
MI    Jose Reyes (NYM - SS)
LF    Bobby Abreu (LAA - LF,RF)
CF    Adam Jones (Bal - CF)
RF    Jay Bruce (Cin - RF)
OF    Nelson Cruz (Tex - RF)
UTIL    Derrek Lee (Chi - 1B)
UTIL    Justin Upton (Ari - RF)

BN    Pedro Alvarez (Pit - 3B)
BN    Cameron Maybin (Fla - CF)
BN    Dexter Fowler (Col - CF)
DL     Travis Snider (Tor - LF,RF)


SP    Chris Carpenter (StL - SP)
SP    Matt Garza (TB - SP)
SP    Jake Peavy (CWS - SP)
SP    Rick Porcello (Det - SP)
SP    David Price (TB - SP)
RP    Jose Valverde (Hou - RP)
RP    Chris Perez (Cle - RP)
RP    Joel Zumaya (Det - RP)
P       Mike Leake (Cin - SP)
P       Craig Kimbrel (Atl - RP)

BN    Johnny Cueto (Cin - SP)
BN    Brian Matusz (Bal - SP)
BN    Madison Bumgarner (SF - SP)
BN    Javier Vazquez (NYY - SP)
DL    Chad Billingsley (LAD - SP)
DL    Rich Harden (ChC - SP)
DL    Homer Bailey (Cin - SP)
DL    Erik Bedard (Sea - SP)

So, a few questions are:

  • Am I nuts to turn down that initial offer?
  • Is it stupid to make my counter-offer (because it's asking for too much or because it's not asking for enough)?
  • What other thoughts do you have?  The other manager also has Tulo and Utley, but he thinks they're both better than HanRam (at least that's what he tells me), so I don't think I can get either of them.
