Should I trade rich harden for jose reyes?

Question

Usually the obvious answer would be yes, but heres the catch. I Have Hanley Ramirez. So i'd only beable to put Reyes at Util. Heres my whole team:

C-McCann

1B-Pujols

2B-Uggla/Pedroia/BJ Upton

3B-Miguel Cabrera

SS-Hanley

LF-McLouth

CF-Sizemore

RF-Markakis (whom i may drop for abreu or kemp who are FA's)

Util-Youkilis/one of my 2b's

Pitchers: (not much of a drop off without harden)

SP-Volquez, Lincecum, Dice-K, Bedard, Scott Baker, Gallaraga, Campbillo, Duchscherer, Wellemeyer, and Nolasco. Do you think i should do this trade?

Also...my friend just said he'd trade me a-rod for duscherer and harden..do u think that'd be smarter? (i'd only beable to put a-rod at util as well)

k i traded a-rod for harden and dice-k..what do u think of this trade?

Answer 1

If u wouldn't have had miggy at 3b i would be against that trade, but since you do I think you got a good deal. 1 premier batter for 2 premier pitchers. My advice to you would be to pick up a decent option to backup Miguel Cabrera

Answer 2

Last time I checked utility players stats count just as good as position players.Are you kidding me?Reyes will be in the top 5 for fantasy stats at years end.How can you pass?If you have Rayes and Hanley you just secured you will win in runs and steals.Why not take that guarantee?I wouldnt drop Markakis.This is a guy that will average 300,have 30hr 100 rbi 100 runs.Take Reyes and sit on what you have now and you should dominate.

Answer 3

I just want to know this:

How do you have such a stacked team?

Is it like a 6-team league?

Either way, I'd say you don't even have a need anywhere, except RP(unless you don't count SVs).

Seriously, how did you end up with a team like this?

I would say keep Harden, he will do well as long as he stays healthy.

You don't really need Reyes and it's not a good idea to keep a guy at Util only.

Also, don't trade back for A-Rod; it'd be the same as getting Reyes because he'd be at a Util spot.

However, among both trades, the one for A-Rod is better for you.(I don't see Duchs keeping up his performance).

No matter what, your team is ridiculously good, so congrats.
