My draft was a mess, not not get a closer or SS that are any good, and ended up without a drafted SS

c: Kendal
1: Hufner
2: Kent
3: Rolen
SS - NOBODY
OF: Shef, Patterson, Giles
Util: Chavez

Bench: Kearns

SP: Santana
SP: Sheets
PR: Wickman
RP: Worrell
P: Halladay
P: Mussina
P: Zito

Bench: Lowe. Russ Ortiz, David Wells, Julio


I was offered a trade:

I get: Tejada, Pierre, Dotel, Guardado, Percival

I give: Rolen, Giles, Sheets, Zito, Russ Ortiz, Wickman

The other guy has Rentaria to play SS, plenty of speed left (Suzuki, Rentaria, Lawton, Pluss Giles will be good for some saves), 5 closers, and no SP: Lieber is his Ace

What do you think about my team and the trade?

Thanks a lot!

UGLY!

As far as the trade goes no way would I do it the way it's structured.

First of all Guardado is hurt at the moment.

I would try to keep Sheets, and deal the other SP's. Maybe if not Zito, then Halladay.

I would do something like this I think:

You give up Rolen, Giles, Ortiz, and Zito for Tejada, Pierre, and Dotel. You might not even need to throw Ortiz in there.

You'll still have Chavez for third, add Pierre's speed, plug Tejada at short, and keep your pitching staff in check.

I would also drop Julio (no longer the closer) and/or Worrell and find someone on the wire that will be more reliable than Kearns for the utility spot.
