Around SBN: Detroit Lions' 2012 Schedule Leaked?

Lincecum or Strasburg in a keeper league?

I was offered Lincecum and Daniel Hudson for Strasburg and Trevor Cahill. I already traded Matt Moore away in a deal for Ellsbury, so I'm a little hesitant to trade more of my young stud pitching. I know Lincecum is great and not that old, but I'm worried about his durability (especially since he's not throwing sliders for a while) and I think Strasburg could be the best pitcher in the league starting as soon as next year. What do you guys think?

I don't know if it matters, since this just a pitcher for pitcher deal, but the rest of my staff is Greinke, Josh Johnson, Masterson, Volquez, and Zambrano.

I’m one of the people who believe in Strasburg, but this trade I would still need a “show me what you can do before I take the plunge” assurance.

Not much point in the trade IMO

Stras could be rated higher than Lincecum next year and its not like the trade addresses a need for your team. Easy decline for me.

Actually

Hudson >>>>>> Cahill

So to me, he should accept that trade and run. I LOVE Stras, don’t get me wrong, but Cahill seems pretty meh and Lincecum is, well, Lincecum.

Thanks for opinions

The guy ended up trading lincecum and others in a deal for Kershaw anyway before I got a chance to decline, which I probably would have done anyway
