AL Only Trade Offer

[RandyKutcherHair]

I am in a 8 team AL Only dynasty league with the following pitching scoring; era, holds, k, qs, sv, wins, & whip.

I was offered Okijima for Sherrill. With Zumaya injured again I am in need of holds. There are a few owners in this league who are punting saves all together. Do you pull this trigger on this offer?

My current pitching staff is...

A. Gallaraga
S. Kazmir
J. Shields
A. Sonnanstine
C. Buckholz
J. Zumaya
J. Papelbon
B. Jenks
G. Sherrill

(Yes I know I have too many Ray's starters.)

Okajima's a better pitcher than Sherrill, who I think loses the job. You have enough saves in Papelbon and Jenks so I'd do the trade.

Except holds are a commodity you should be able to get for free, and once Sherril stops getting saves, he will likely be moved into a LOOGY role where he will be effective and get holds.

To me, it comes down to needing the handful of saves Sherrill is likely to get, and if not, can you get something more than a player whose primary contribution should be something you can pick up for basically free?
