The trade is OK. I don't think it is a player you really need but it is an upgrade to Luke Scott Quentin or Matthews. You can probably pick up a decent starter option with the empty spot. Your league looks pretty deep, but John Maine has been off the radar in most leagues and can provide 15 or 16 wins, a decent ERA, WHIP and has a good K/9 ratio. Zito may have a good year but overall I think Rios is more valuable. As for Sosa - who knows, he made the 40 man roster but that's no guarantee he'll make the opening day roster although it looks good. I wouldn't count on him for much after a year out of baseball. Making the deal probably makes your outfield one of the most solid in your league.
Reply:good trade,,go for it
Reply:Looks like a solid deal to me. You have plenty of depth at SP, so you can afford to lose Zito. Sosa is too much of a question mark to depend on for anything. I happen to like Carlos Quentin, so I'd bench Scott when you get Rios.
Reply:You have a lot of pitching depth, so absorbing the loss at SP is not a big deal. And Rios would be an upgrade. Sosa is a non-factor in the deal.





The problem is that you're not getting as much as you could. You should be able to leverage Zito into someone better than Rios, or at least more stable.





That said, the trade would in fact benefit you in all likelihood.
