From The Crowd

I play in a 12-team $260 AL-only 4X4 keeper league.

With 40 games to go, I made an offer for $41 Johann Santana in hopes I could move in ERA and WHIP.

The team with Santana has already bailed.

My offer was $24 Magglio Ordonez, $5 Adam Jones and Elijah Dukes on the farm.

Should the bailed team have taken the offer?

I think its a fair offer, but the other guy understandably probably wants to hold onto Santana and try and rebuild around him.

Ordonez is having a good year, but he's injury-prone and getting old. Jones is a good prospect, but he's probably two or three years away from making a difference. Same with Dukes, who also has an attitude problem.

If I were the other team, I'd want more immediate help than what you are offering. Jones and Dukes are gambles right now, and Ordonez is the only sure thing, albeit an aging and injury prone sure thing, and he isnt good enough to justify the other guy trading the best starter in the majors for.

I wouldn't take that deal. I'd also want more immediate heelp, more sure things for my $41 sure thing.
