I have three first basemen, help me package one in a trade (1 Viewer)

[harryhood]

I have three first basemen who I am comfortable with playing, but would like to get rid of one and upgrade my pitching. Howard and Giambi are a little hurt, but they dont expect to miss much time. Dan Johnson has been on fire, so is he a sell high candidate or could I kep him and get more for the other two? I am in need of saves and anything pitching. The below team is who I am eyeing.

C Kenji Johjima

1B Derrek Lee

2B Ray Durham

3B Ryan Zimmerman

SS Jimmy Rollins

OF Chone Figgins

OF David DeJesus

OF Josh Hamilton

UTIL Bill Hall, Mil SS

Bench Raul Ibanez Rafael Furcal

P Jeremy Accardo,

SP Johan Santana

SP C.C. Sabathia

SP Gil Meche

RP Jason Isringhausen

RP Todd Jones

Bench Aaron Harang

Bench Chris Young

Bench Oliver Perez

DL Orlando HernandezDL15

My team is basically those 3 1b's (howard, johnson, giambi)

BRoberts

kelly johnson

renteria

holliday

rowand

byrnes

mauer

chavez

capuano

lincecum

morris

sampson

kazmir

blanton

capps

Cabrera

neshek

as you can see i only have 3 saves all year, and my era and whip is down. What would be a good package to make up to get some pitching, startin or relieving. I was eying Jones and Sabathia, but I dont think I have enough.

I still doubt you'll get much for Johnson because he's a relative unknown. I would probably try to deal either Giambi or Howard. You could probably get more for Howard but I wouldn't trade him because right now you won't get what he's worth. I would trade Giambi and ask for one of his starters (maybe Young or Harang). Honestly, I don't see how you're going to pull off a trade with this guy. He already has Lee at 1b and none of the 3 guys you're offereing are better than Lee. Also, he only has 2 true closers so you probably won't get one of them. His starters are all pretty solid so I doubt he'd give up one of them either. You might want to look to trade to a team that needs a 1b.

I was thinking more along the lines of his utility spot. Right now he has Hall in that position I believe

It's definitely worth a shot. I still doubt you could get a closer from him but I would think that if you could pull Chris Young for Giambi, that would be a huge upgrade for you at SP.
