Reply With QuoteVery few closers keep their jobs for multiple seasons. Even fewer pitchers are successful in Coors. Jay Bruce is actually an impact bat despite his limitations. This trade is a no-brainer (unless salary is an issue, which you said it is not).
Acquiring Casilla
In a 14-team keeper roto league with a salary cap. I'm in 14th and no where near moving up so I'm rebuilding. I've been offered the following deal:
I get: Bruce ($7) and Casilla ($5)
I give: Kahnle ($1)
I've got plenty of cap space but need help in the OF. What's you take? I mean I couldn't get worse (currently last place) but should I hold Kahnle for next year and after? The salary is not an issue in this deal as I'm at $78 (of a $100 cap).

Re: Acquiring Casilla
I would absolutely accept this deal. Kahnle may or may not keep the closer gig long term similar to Casilla in SF. Bruce is a very nice pick up for a building block for the future. When you accept you may want to check the waiver wire to see if Romo and/or Strickland are available as insurance in case Casilla continues to struggle.
