Keeper Advice - replacement 3B

[jbloom3]

Hi,

This is the first year of a deep mixed-league keeper league. Cats are: R/HR/RBI/SB/AVG... W/S/K/ERA/WHIP. We keep players based on their auction value we drafted them in. I am looking for a 3b replacement for Hanley while he is out, and wasn't able to get one in the rest of the auction. The best 3B on the wire are Chris Nelson/Brett Wallace... not high tier stuff. I was offered Will Middlebrooks (6$) for Haren (10$), wondering if it's worth losing some strength in pitching to get a much more solid replacement, and even a potential keeper.

Team:
C - Wieters
1B - Goldschmidt
2B - Altuve
3B - "Hanley"
SS - Tulo
IF - Alonso
OF - A. Jones, Beltran, Pence, Willingham
UTL - Pagan, Lucroy
SP - Hamels, Bumgarner, M. Moore, Haren, C.J. Wilson, Estrada
RP - Putz, Frieri
BN - Fiers, Cahill S. Miller... O. Taveras

Do you think it's worth giving up Haren for Middlebrooks. Also... that guy has M. Minor (5$) and J. Parker (12$) both "lower-tier" pitchers that I like alot. Maybe I could offer a 2-2 instead?

Thanks!

Also... I have Jose Fernandez on the Farm Team and since it looks like he'll be up this year, I may have to call him up (as soon as a P gets 55+ innings, they must be called up)... so technically, even if I lose Haren.. I can later drop Alonso and "call-up" Fernandez

Make the trade for Middlebrooks, hold up on calling up Fernandez.

Good luck.
