Opinions on trade proposal?

What do you think of this trade?

Receive:

Kendry Morales, LAA 1B

Matt Kemp, LAD OF

Send:

Kevin Youkilis, Bos 3B, 1B

Ricky Nolasco, Fla SP

Here's the rest of my starting pitching:

Yovani Gallardo, Mil SP

Josh Beckett, Bos SP

Ubaldo Jimenez, Col SP

Jake Peavy, CWS SP

Stephen Strasburg, Was SP

My outfield could use a little help as my fifth spot is filled with either Franklin Gutierrez, Sea or Chris Coghlan, Fla.

Other information: 8 team, roto league. In addition to the standard 10 scoring categories, there is also OPS (On-base Plus Slugging). Thanks for your time and help!

    Do the trade. Hopefully there is no behavior issue with Kemp as an ex girlfriend claims. A restraining order was filed against him in 08 but was taken off. I went after him in NL only roto league in hopes that he would focus his rage on hitting the baseball and not on something that would get him suspended but was outbid for his beserker services.

    Only 8 teams for a mixed league? With only 8 you need to lop off a league and go either NL only or AL only.

    Take the training wheels off and embrace the challenge.

    And...

    People tend to lose appreciation for some of the lesser known players in baseball when they do these shallow leagues. They start to say that this guys sucks and that guy sucks all over the place. I quickly remind them that they wouldn't see the light of day in a starting lineup on a local men's baseball league let alone anything on the pro level.

    Do this trade NOW. Are you kidding? Kemp is an up and coming superstar and Morales is too! Ricki Nolasco is a great young player but is still unproven IMHO.

    Kemp should have gone in the first round. This is a steal. Go for it. NOW!

    I think you are dreaming. Morales is just about the same as Youk, unless you are playign Youk at third, but in this trade it looks like he is playing first. Nolasco is set up to have a great year, I hope I have him, but he isn't worth Kemp. Kemp is a legit 30-30 guy batting fifth in a pretty good lineup. I would say not one of your starters is enough to get that deal done. IF he took I would do it, but it isn't enough to get it done.

    It really not all that bad of a trade. You're getting two good power hitting Outfielders and 1st baseman, while he's getting a decent 12-15 game winner and a very good power hitting 1st/3rd baseman. Why on Earth do you have Stephen Strasburg in your starting rotation? You do know he's starting the year in the minors. Look at a guy named Mat Latos if you need another starting pitcher.

    Your SPs are pretty strong. I think you can afford this trade. Matt Kemp is pretty dope and is dating Rihanna...lol. I say "YES" for this trade.
