Dynasty Trade advice

All -

I own the rights to Yu Darvish and have been offered the following trade. I would love some advice.

I receive Trevor Bauer/Dee Gordon & Arodys Vizciano for Darvish.

I love Bauer... He has fantasy ace potential... I think Gordon will be a juan Pierre at SS, which has obvious value. I am a bit more bearish on Vizciano because i fear he may be destined for the 'pen. My reservations are 1) Darvish IMO is the best player in the deal and 2) he is major league ready.

Should i make this trade?

Id make the trade. I think Bauer will be better than Darvish as early as next season. If you need an SS Dee Gordan is very valuable. Also if your league counts holds, Vizcaino would be very good, I dont see him making it as an SP given all the other talent Atlanta bolsters.

Vizcaino

do you see him as a top of the rotation starter if given the chance? I have read alot about his previous elbow issue, small frame and 3 quarters delivery as concerns… what do you think?

I'd keep Darvish

Vizcaino is fluff to make the deal look better. I think he will be very good out of the pen and will stay there. Gordon lacks the on base skills to be a slam dunk. I am not convinced entirely. I like Bauer but in a few years you could be looking at essentially Bauer for Darvish which I would not do.

Just my 2 cents. Take it for what its worth (3 cents maybe).
