looking for a little advice.. i'm in a keeper league where we can also sign long term contracts.. this trade was offered to me and cant decide what to do....

offered:
Matt Lawton .7 (1 year)
Conor Jackson .6 (3 year) or kotchman .8 (2 year)
Adam LaRoche .8 (2 year)

give up:
Roger Clemens 2.1 (1 year)
Khalil Greene .6 (2 year)
Jimmy Rollins 2.3 (1 year)

getting some young upside with jackson and laroche, but losing alot of sb with rollins and who knows with clemens.. is this worth considering???

How many teams?
How many keepers?
What are the numbers before the years?
What does the rest of your team look like?

What are the scoring Catagories?

And, what are the positions?
Do you have starting spots for two 1B?

You ask for help and all I do is ask questions in return.

Just don't know enough to give you an answer.

Lawton has no value in a keeper league, Jackson should have a good batting average throughout his career, but he isn't a homer run hitter, and LaRoche isn't anything special...Jimmy Rollins is really the only proven player who you will be able to keep for awhile and with the SS position so thin, i don't think you can afford to lose both Rollins and Khalil, plus if Clemens returns, you'll atleast get one good year from him, so i'd stick with the players you have

good call say no... Rollins is a cproven young star.coner has potential but that just means hasn't done it yet.

Do not do that deal. No question terrible for you. rather than trade away that talent take a look at the young propect review and look for some players coming up that could be great stars in years to come. They won't cost you nothing but a draft pick in later rounds!

from what i see clemens is leaning towards retirement,someone in your league will think hes playing another 2 years,id unload him while you can for a solid player or 2

Your in a position of strength with Rollins and Khalil keep it that way for awhile longer. See what you can get for the Rocket by himself. Maybe build for the future and drop some cap at the same time.
