I have been offered Ryan Howard for Vladimir Gurerro in my secondary league. I already have Justin Morneau and Adrian Gonzalez at 1st though. I think Vlad is coming out of his funk now, but Howard is an RBI machine. I am leaning to rejecting it, but would like other opinions.

Thanks,

thats VERY tough to turn away from...Even though you're full at 1b, I would probably still take it and shop Gonzo for a solid OF'er..

Howard is a career .280 hitter AND he's always played better in the second half.

Take Howard.

you will definitely regret trading away RYAN HOWARD, I would shop around your other 1b options and see what you can get for them

If you take Howard, that would leave you with 3 1B's....regardless, something's wrong with Vlad, so I'd take Howard, then turn around and shop either Gonzalez or Morneau to fill that void in the OF. You'll definitely will get a good return for one of those two.

Who would I want to keep, Morneau or Gonzalez? I am leary of trading Gonzo, because his numbers are better than Howard's, but I recall him falling off after the all star break the last couple of years!

Whoever gives you more value...I think Morneau would be better trade bait...
