Answer 1

I would take it

Answer 2

last i looked bourn had  almost 30 steals.  even though he is hitting about 220   the rest or your line up  makes up for that in BA.   you would be pleased witha 220 hitter with 30 hrs.   1 steal has the same as 1 hr in head to head

you have a way too loaded of a  lineup to be a in a very competetive league  no one should be able to have arod, vlad, D-lee, haren and  Brandon Phillips   thats 5 of the top 25 players in any draft and should all be gone by the 3rd round

Answer 3

SBs are not nearly as important in H2H as they are in roto. Bourn has been better lately so keep an eye there.  But, Ellsbury brings a lot more. You should certainly take this trade.

Nolasco, Cueto and Miller are all pitching well right now. I would be concerned about Wellemeyer. He will miss his next start. You probably should go with someone else rather than miss a week without a start from him. Remember his history is not good. I'm a Cardinal fan and have him in several leagues.

Good luck. Have fun.

Answer 4

Do it, ellsbury owns, your staff is fine without haren. Good Luck.

Answer 5

Keep Jacoby Ellsbury he is a really good second baseman and dude u have a pretty good team!  So i would say keep him but its your decision.

Answer 6

do the trade, then pick up nolasco for parra.

ellsbury will get you 60 steals this season if he stays healthy.

haren is a good pitcher, but not elite.
