I am currently in a 5x5 roto keeper league and I'm not doing so hot this season. However, I have jumped about 20 points in the last 3 weeks and have some hope to at least make some cash on monthly awards. The current trade is on the table and my weekly transaction time is tmo at noon.

I give up Dice-K and get back Gallardo.

The problem is that Gallardo has been moved to the pen with the chance of being demoted. Dice-K is a 2-start for this week.


The question is not IF I pull this trade, but when? Should I push the trade back a milk the 2-start week?


Dice-K pitches against TB (Kazmir) in Boston, and then DET (Robertson) in Detroit this week.

Does Joe Torre ask Regis if he can phone a friend when he has a touch coaching decision?

No way. I love Gallardo (I actually have him on my team), but who knows when/if he will be back in the rotation this year. Dice-K will have better numbers in the second half - no that he has been bad at all so far.

I'm thinking about the keeper aspect. I cannot keep Dice-K because I would have to waste a very high pick to keep him in my league. Since Gallardo was a FA pick, I would lose the last pick of my next draft. I neglected to include that info. In other words, Dice-K will be available in the draft come 2008. Gallardo will not.

In that case, if you can afford to give up some pitching over the rest of this year, then I would accept the trade.
