  • Keeper Trade...Pujols

    10-team 5x5 Roto Keep 6. My current keepers are Cargo, Pujols, Longoria, Jones, Goldschmidt, Kershaw.

    I was offered:

    Get: Craig, 1st overall pick, 2nd round pick (8th after keepers), 6th round pick (12th after keepers)
    Give: Pujols

    With the 1st pick I would draft Bumgarner.

    I don't mind moving Pujols so I can free up a 1B slot, which is pretty deep this year, and hopefully draft a player like Rizzo. Do you think this is good value for Pujols? Thoughts?

      I think that at face value it is a no brainer. If you draft wisely, it will definitely make your team better, possibly even in the short term. My only question would be if you could get anything else in return for Craig. I'd shoot for a strong middle infielder, a top starting pitcher, or Kimbrel if the team you're dealing with has any of those. Craig seems a bit redundant with Goldschmidt as a keeper. I'd try to get stronger at a more shallow position. You can do well for UTIL players in your draft.
