I have been offered a trade in a Keeper League with the following set-up: Keep 15 MLB players per year and 5 MiLB players per year. Head to head with scoring categories of R, HR, RBI, SB, E, AVE, OPS, W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP.
I am in need of a 2B guy and have been offered the following trade. My question is whether this makes sense for my team both this year (which I think it certainly does), but the impact of the trade for next season and beyond.
I was offered Ian Kinsler and a draft pick for 2013 in exchange for Bryce Harper - as of right now, how high the draft pick is, has not been determined but I would likely want it to be pretty high, if not his first pick. Should I ask for more?
My team:
C: Russel Martin
1B: Adrian Gonzalez
2B: Mike Aviles
3B: Ryan Zimmerman
SS: Jose Reyes
OF: Jay Bruce
OF: Jason Heyward
UTL: Eric Hosmer
UTL: Drew Stubbs
BENCH: J.D. Martinez
SP: Felix Hernandez
SP: CC Sabathia
SP: Yovani Gallardo
RP: Joel Hanranhan
RP: Sean Marshall
P: Greg Holland
BENCH: Daniel Hudson
BENCH: Mike Minor
BENCH: Tommy Hanson
BENCH: Colby Lewis
Minor League roster has 10 players that can be brought up at any time:
MiLB: Casey Kelly
MiLB: Bryce Harper
MiLB: Manny Banuelos
MiLB: Gary Sanchez
MiLB: Gary Brown
MiLB: Bubba Starling
MiLB: Anthony Rendon
MiLB: Francisco Lindor
MiLB: Will Middlebrooks
MiLB: Brandon Nimmo
I have plenty of OF guys that could come up in the next several years to pair with my core of Bruce, Stanton, and Heyward which is very young already so losing Harper wouldn't be that big of a hit, but is he that 'special' that I should think about this trade offer more? And I am a bit worried about Kinsler's propensity to miss time each year with injuries. This team has been bad for a while but has made the playoffs two of the last three seasons (missed out last season), so I have been agressive with trades...
Thanks for any and all opinions.
