| I am in a (9x7 - AB/BA/H/R/HR/RBI/BB/SB/TB x APP/W/QS/K/S/ERA/WHIP) mixed league and I received an offer for PUJOLS (who I am aware is starting to heat up). [Of course, the one year I get Pujols on my team he slumps so early!] I give up Pujols and Jon Lester (who is in my DL spot) and I receive Derrek Lee and Brandon Webb (who is keeper-eligible for one more year). My current pitchers are (aweful!) LACKEY, B. LOOPER, C. GAUDIN, K. ESCOBAR. I picked up Chris Sampson for a 2-start this week and C. Billingsley for the APP and possible roster spot. I got hit badly by Anthony Reyes, Javier Vazquez and earlier Borowski (who I traded for Putz). I am currently in last place but feel with some steady, solid pitching I can come around and at least win my division. I'm confident I could get "more" for Pujols in about a month but I guess it is about what I can expect from today on from Pujols. I don't think he'll hit his projected 50 HR and 115 RBI but 38 and 100 is likely. If this is about what Lee could deliver (or not) then is it worth it for me to pull the trigger because I get Webb as well. Thoughts?

Hmmm, Pujols can help in 8 catagories, Webb is 6. Lee is much better than Lester, Pujols is better then Lee, Webb much better than Lester. You do not mention the keeper status of Pujols and Lee so I will assume they are not keeper eligible. If that is the case, I would make the trade. Webb is much more of an upgrade over Lester than Lee is a downgrade from Pujols.

i think the deal is decent enough to go after. i don't like moving Pujols at any time but if dub is right on the keeper status then at least you can hang on to Webb for another year. without looking at keeper status the deal looks even enough so i'd make the deal just to be able to hang on to Webb for an extra year. that assumes you can't keep Pujols though.

| i think you have to keep pujols since he is such a monster in 8 of the 9 categories. I think he will recover from his abdomenal strain and have an excellent 2nd half. ALWAYS buy low and sell high, and i n this case you are selling low on pujolseven tho he is offering a lot, you can get a kings ransom for pujols when he is healthy. So you would normally get even more for him, especially since the league has 9 offensive stats.
