In my h2h non-keeper league (5x5 + batter strikeouts) the trade deadline is
approaching. I have, right now 6 outfielders sharing 3 OF spots and 2 Utility
slots:

Bonds
Guerrero
Abreu
Giles
Ibanez
Damon

I've mostly played the first three while switching the other three around
depending on pitching matchups. Durham was my 2B, but he just went on the DL.
I can replace him either with a 2B, or I can plug Aaron Boone in the 2B slot
and replace him with a 3B. (Best available of either is Teixeira) I've been
trying to use one or two outfielders as trade bait. I was offered:

Blalock
Mondesi

for

Damon
Ibanez

Am I better off just getting Teixeira?

What is this, a three team league? You don't need advice, you need to find
yourself a league with a little challenge involved.

Doesn't look bad to me, though I haven't been keeping close tabs on Blalock,
but I'd say the position would make him pretty valuable compared to what you
lose. Ibanez has been pretty hot, but a better 3B would be more valuable
than an abundance of OF. Mondesi &Damon and pretty much a wash, and neither
will win anything for you anyway. Especially not if most teams are as
loaded as yours seems to be.

I expect I'll do it unless I get a better offer in the next couple days.
Durham's been mediocre as of late even before the injury, so a quick temporary
fix like Teixeira doesn't appeal to me. Hopefully Boone adjusts well to AL
pitching and parks.


Well no, most aren't. I traded for Giles and Guerrero when they were on the DL
and owners didn't want to eat the downtime.
