Deeeeeeeeeep keeper league with long-term contracts, 40-man rosters, salary cap, and 160 player minor league roster.

My Current OF...

RF- Josh Hamilton (under contract through 2010)
CF- Grady Sizemore (under contract through 2010)
LF- Manny Ramirez (under contract through 2008)
OF- Carl Crawford (under contract through 2010)

with Cameron Maybin and Jordan Schafer on the way.

Do YOU give up Jay Bruce for Joba Chamberlain if you're me???

Only if you intend to trade Chamberlain again while his value is still high. I think you can get better than Bruce for Chamberlain, but I'm not all that sure Chamberlain is better than Bruce.

Tough call bro. I kind of agree with hen - Joba's value is the total top of the heap so you are certainly trading at his high point. The Boss looks like a can't miss rock solid stud. I might try to package him for someone more established if at all possible.

Of course, you are dealing from a position of strength in your OF.

I'd lean no.
