Just pulled off a monster deal......

I'm in a 13 team keeper league points based system and we keep our entire team from year to year.

I traded:

David Wright
Chone Figgins
Carl Crawford
Francisco Liriano
John Lackey
Takashi Saito
Lance Berkman

for

Jose Reyes
Chase Utley
Matt Holliday
Adrian Gonzalez
Dan Haren
Joel Zumaya
Brandon Wood

most of my league has said they think i got he better of the deal, i agonized over pulling the trigger but after the trade I'll have

C-John Buck
1B-Adrian Gonzalez
2B- Chase Utley
SS-Jose Reyes
3B-Edwin Encarnacion
OF-Matt Holliday
OF-Nick Markakis
OF-Josh Hamilton
Util - Corey Hart
Util - Mike Jacobs

SP-Dan Haren
SP-Scott Kazmir
SP-Phil Hughes
SP-Yovani Gollardo
SP-Josh Johnson
RP-Brad Lidge
RP-Joel ZUmaya

dumb trade or no?

Here is how I would look at it.

Reyes, Utley, Holliday > Wright, Berkman, Crawford

Gonzalez, Wood, Haren, Zumaya < Liriano, Lackey, Figgins, Saito

So you got the better end of the elite players, he got a little better in the good players. Liriano is the key on his side. If he comes back and is what he was last year then it's pretty even deal.

Good healthy trade for both teams and I'm sure took a lot of time.

that's kinda how i made the decision, definitely agree Liriano is Key to the whole thing for him, i decided:

Reyes > Wright
Utley > Figgins
Holliday > Crawford, not by much though
Gonzalez = Berkman

Wood and Haren < Lackey and Liriano

Zumaya < Saito, for now, not future though.

I don't know how to make sense of that, I honestly don't.

My mind is too slow today.
