An owner in my league seems to have some personal hatred for Jimmy Rollins and is looking to unload his first round pick. He is looking for a replacement SS and a C.
He has asked for Peralta and either Martin or Doumit in return for Rollins.
As you can see from my signature, I have no great need at SS, but am short on speed. Do I strike the deal?
Trade Peralta + Martin/Doumit for Rollins?

Re: Trade Peralta + Martin/Doumit for Rollins?
assuming Sandoval is not Catcher-eligible, this is Peralta/Doumit for Rollins/replacement catcher. Personally I would do it and not think twice. Being short on speed isn't my reason, it's just the upgrade in talent that drives me at this point of the season.

Re: Trade Peralta + Martin/Doumit for Rollins?
Thanks Viper. I am strongly considering pulling the trigger. Having another first round talent on the team seems like something I should want to do.
I would have to dig around in the C pool for a replacement (Johjima, Teagarden, Kendall, Olivo, Barajas, Ruiz) for a bit while I wait patiently for Sandoval to get 5 starts at C (early) this season. Without a second catcher in SF, hopefully that will not take long.

I would do the deal either way because I think it gives you better value.
Add in the fact that you have Sandoval who should get catcher eligibilty early on and it makes this a slam dunk for your team.

Re: Trade Peralta + Martin/Doumit for Rollins?
I'd trade Peralta/Doumit but not Peralta/Martin. If I'm making deals with that team or any team, I'm looking for upgrades at weaker positions. You're not weak at the ss position. No question you could use some speed but I think you're giving up too much if you deal Peralta and Martin.
