Answer 1

I think is is a good deal for you. KRod is an elite closer (top 3) and also is a great source of K's and renteria while not nearly on the jeter level is still a solid option at SS. The rest of your hitting is as you say...very good and you wont miss Jeters stats as much as you really need a top closers stats. This is a very good deal for you based on your needs....make the deal.

Answer 2

That would not hurt you I don't think. The pitching would help. But think about it this way look at the leagues points and determine who is worth more. Personally I probably would.

Answer 3

usally if u are going to get someone to trade u a pitcher u are gonna have to give them one.

so maybe atkins and owens for krod

hope i helped a little

good luck

Answer 4

Wow, great team. Yeah, you should do the trade because it wouldn't hurt you batting wise and you probably need better relievers/closers.
