Keeper League Trade? Mauer no more?
In a 5x5 head to head, 12 team keeper league I have very solid batting, in the top 3 in all besides HR (bad HR team). Pitching is a weakness but it has been coming around. I had this trade in mind (My other catcher is J. Lucroy who has been solid).
I give up: Joe Mauer, Vernon Wells, and 2 of the following 3 pitchers- Nolasco, Kyle Mclellan and Derek Holland --for-- Jose Tabata, Ian Kennedy and either Jhoulys Chacin or Jordan Zimmerman.
How would you work the trade? I overpaid for Mauer in the draft so I don't know if I'll keep him. I may be able to swing the deal so all of the listed players are included. Ideas? Who would you prefer to include in the trades? Also, I do need to end up getting less players than I give up.
@That Guy- Wells is a bench player for me. My OF is Ellsbury, Pagan, Adam Jones and Martin Prado. I just keep him on the bench generally,

Out of curiosity, if you're a team hurting in HR and solid in the other categories, why trade Vernon Wells for Jose Tabata? That seems like it would just make your HR issues even bigger.
I can see moving Mauer and targeting Chacin and Zimmerman. I'm less sold on Kennedy, but that's a personal bias as I'm just not a believer in him long-term. Mauer + Nolasco + McLellan for Kennedy + Chacin + Zimmerman seems like a decent deal, you get three solid young pitchers (assuming you like Kennedy more than I do, as I'm sure you do) for two mediocre pitchers and an injury-risk catcher. Zimmerman in particular is my favorite pitcher of the bunch, make sure to target him as he's a long-term stud.
But adding Tabata and Wells to the deal doesn't make sense to me from your perspective. I would focus solely on Mauer for pitching upgrades and leave the OFs out of it.
