I was offered this trade in my 10 team Roto 5x5 keeper league. You can keep any 8 players. I am currently in 1st place with a 3 pt lead. Here is how I rank by category
Rank Team R HR RBI SB AVG W SV K ERA WHIP

I wouldn't do it.

I'd take Braun over Tulo, especially with Tulo's injury and already having a good SS option in ACab.

But you have OF depth. If anything, try to trade an OF for a 3B/RP.

You lose that deal.

See if you can get back more than a hurt Tulo and a relief pitcher.

I see your point but I do have depth in the OF and I am tied for last in saves. I do like Frieri potential for saves and his K Rate is sick but is it worth giving up Braun when I already have Street and Storen and Asdrub Cab at SS? Thats my delima. I figue if I do get tulo and frieri I could always try and flip Asdrub Cab for either a 3b or somebody else. I defintly see yalls point thats why I wanted somebody's outside opinion.

Street and Storen have both been on the DL. That's why you're last in saves. Street is back and Storen should be back before too long. Frieri is a great RP but the numbers he puts up aren't THAT hard to come by. Plus you'd be giving away Josh Johnson who, while he's struggled to start the season, has been showing improvement and is a pitcher I think will have a really strong second half.

Oh trust me I know why I am last in saves not only did I have street and storen on the DL I also lost brian wilson for the year and sean marshall was demoted in favor of chapman. I definitley think I can make a push if street and storen come back strong in the saves category I just hope neither one gets injured again bc then I will be up a creek.
