Fantasy Trade Advice needed

I am in a 12 team keeper league, you keep 6 players. My keepers as of now are Posey, Bautista, Kinsler, Fielder, Stanton and Matt Moore. I have been offered a trade I would send Moore, Bautista, Bruce(not keeping) and Hamels(not keeping) for Hanley Ramirez and Brett Lawrie(would keep both). I don't know whether or not to do this trade, I am in need of a SS and if I do not do this trade I am the 11th pick in the draft, the best SS available would be Andrus, Rollins and Asdrubal Cabrera. Since I have the second to last pick in the draft I have no guarantee of getting any of these guys because SS is obviously a hot commodity. What is your opinion/advice on this deal?

IMO, I would try to keep Bautista

Offer Moore, Bruce and Hamels for Ramirez and see if the other owner will bite.

my two cents

I think i would keep Bruce over Posey. I am not sold Posey will be the power hitter he was in his rookie year, and Bruce is still very young.

I think the deal all depends on how long you think Bautista will keep this up and if you beleive Hanley will be the old Hanley. I like Lawrie a lot, so the deal is pretty tempting.

but Posey's positional eligibility

and the fact that he, too, is still very young makes it a no brainer to keep Posey over Bruce.

true

but catchers are so up and down in their performance.

I personally would keep Posey over Buce as well. IMO, OF’ers can be replaced.

Thinking about 2013. Both Hanley and Lawrie are likely to only have 3B eligibility and you have to question if that fits well with your roster settings. Maybe it does and then I might consider this deal, Moore will be good but he isnt an “untouchable” pitching prospect.
