I was just offered:

Jeter, Teixiera and Cole Hammels

for

Felix Hernandez, Connor Jackson and Luke Scott

This is a keeper league, King Felix I have as a keeper, but obviously if I trade him away I wouldn't have a hard time choosing from that group a new keeper.

Would you pull the trigger?

I was gonna say I pull the trigger, but it's honestly a toss-up for me.

What are your needs and what are your strengths?

I'd say that my biggest weakness is probably starting pitching, but since I'm getting back Hammels it's not awful, especially since he carries a lower whip than Hernandez. Conor Jackson currently is outperforming mark texiera, but this is a keeper league, so I'm not sure if that is likely to repeat, but I can pretty well assume I will get consistent production from tex. SS position has been rough for me all year, I was running Renteria out there most of the time, currently Stephen Drew, so Jeter would be an upgrade I think.

Here is what my staff look like

C - Doumit
1 - Conor Jackson
2 - Chase Utley
3 - Chone Figgins
SS - Stephen Drew
RF - Markakis
LF- Carlos Lee
CF - Grady Sizemore
Util - Kevin Youkilis
bench - Adam jones and Luke Scott

SP - Kazmir, Shields, king felix, aaron cook, john lannan, greg smith
RP - sherril, johnson, mahay, Mclellan, okajima, taloy Buchholz
