Morneau and Saito for Howard
I get: Justin Morneau (Min - 1B)
Takashi Saito (LAD - RP)
I give: Ryan Howard (Phi - 1B)
14 team 5x5 mixed roto keeper league with OBP instead of AVG. 5 keepers at the year's end with no penalties. I think I have to take this deal, I've built this team from ground up the last three years and I have to win this year. I lost last only due to my lack of saves (lost by 4 points, and only had 2 in saves) I just lost Corpas closing, I have Saito's backup if he loses the job, I don't lose too much from Howard to Morneau, and I am already dominating in HRs. Am I missing something or is this a no brainer? If I do the trade who do I drop and who do I drop this weekend with Kazmir coming back?

Offered Ortiz for my Beltran
11 man Points league, +1 Each base, RBI, RS, W, SB, -1 K.
Have Rios and Vlad as my other outfielders, few ok options on waivers to fill.
Ortiz finished in our league last year with 601 pts, Beltran with 489. Walks were only 0.5
Seems like a no brainer, how is Papi's health this year?
What do you think?
Catcher
Ok, alot of hype around Soto out of Chicago..But, do I rely on him or take a chance on the waiverwire with B.Molina, Paulino, Torrealba (or similar ability types I am sure you all know - some, to well).
