Fantasy Baseball/Montero Question

[Tomlinson21RB]

I'm in a 12 team, auction style, keeper league. We also have a minor league system where players that get called up can be kept for $1 the following season, $2 the 2nd season, and $3 the third. I currently have 5 closers (Bailey, Francisco Cordero, Street, Aardsma, Gonzalez) and have been offered Jesus Montero for Street and Lonnie Chisenhall. Knowing that I'd get little to no value from Montero this season, would you still do this deal? The roster spot would go to someone like George Sherrill so I have someone that can get holds.

I would do that deal without even thinking about it!

I was leaning towards doing it, but just wasn't sure since this is my first league with minor league players. Wasn't sure when I'd actually get value from Montero, and also what position he'd end up at. I'd also be trading a closer to another top team so I'd be helping him in the saves category and losing some of the edge I had there.

Man Street isn't even a sure thing. You aren't hurting at closer anyway, and you can always find closers during the year. This is seriously one-sided. Do it before the guy changes his mind.
