The league I am in is a keeper league, and we keep all of our players each year. The batting stats are runs, hits, homeruns, rbis, steals, walks, and average. My batting roster looks like this:
C Jorge Posada
1B Adrian Gonzalez
2B Jose Lopez
3B Ryan Zimmerman
SS Yunel Escobar
LF Jacoby Ellsbury
CF Alex Rios
RF Nick Markakis
Util Jack Cust
Util Mark Reynolds
BN Jim Thome
BN Elijah Dukes
BN Mike Jacobs
BN Billy Butler
BN Jarrod Saltalamacchia
I like to start Jack Cust because he is third in the league in walks and has decent power. Also keep in mind Yunel Escobar has 2B eligibility so I could drop Lopez, move Escobar to second base and plug Reyes in at SS.
If I did the trade my batting would look like this:
C Jorge Posada
1B Adrian Gonzalez
2B Yunel Escobar
3B Ryan Zimmerman
SS Jose Reyes
LF Joey Votto
CF Alex Rios
RF Jack Cust
Util Mark Reynolds
Util Mike Jacobs
BN Jim Thome
BN Elijah Dukes
BN Billy Butler
BN Jarrod Saltalamacchia
