Trade help??????????

Question

Ok, so here is the deal:

I get: Prince Fielder, Carlos Beltran, and Joe Saunders

I give: Tim Lincecum, Chad Billingsly, Garret Atkins, Xavier Nady

I'm in 8th place in a 10 team roto league. I need a good amount of help on offense since I rank 4th out of 10 in runs, rbi's, and home runs. My pitching is ok. I rank 10 out of 10 in ks, 6 out of 10 in era, 6th out of 10 in wins, and 2 in whip.

My starting pitching will now look like this after the deal: Brandon Webb, Francisco Liriano, John Danks, Andy Pettite, Edinson Vólquez, and Adam Wainwright.

My lineup like this:

C: Brian Mccann

1B: Prince Fielder

2B: Howie Kendrik

3B: Troy Glaus

SS: Edgar Renteria

MI: Jose Lopez

CI: Jason Giambi/Adrian Beltre

OF: JD Drew

OF: Alfonso Soriano

OF: Pat Burrell

UTIL: Carlos Beltran

Bench: Rick Ankiel

Is it a good trade for me or not? BTW, I'm projected to be around over 40ip of the max. Thanks

Answer 1

It's a good trade, everything you mentioned was what I would have written to justify the trade.  Fielder has picked up his home run pace and is a huge upgrade over Giambi (i'm assuming he's your 1b), and Beltran's having a down year with the avg and HR's, but still has strong RBIs and Run playing for the Mets.  together they're a good offensive upgrade over Atkins and Nady, who are good all around but don't help with your needs.  Losing the starting pitchers hurt, but If you just start Webb, Danks, Liriano, and saunders the rest of the way, you're probably in good standing with your pitching.  You do lose a lot of K's tho
