Keep'em or Trade'em [Jay Moussab]

Ladies and Gentleman welcome to Keep'em or Trade'em let me start with our first contestant:

1) Brad Lidge - After the Astros removed him from the closers spot in the beginning of the season I think you have to trade'em. He is back in the closers spot and at his peak, the Astros are out of it and they should try to get a boat load of prospects. But their GM has told teams he is not available.

Trade'em

Teams interested: N/A

2) Eric Gagne - Yea Akinori Otsuka is injured and you have no real closer if you trade him but like the Astro's you are out of the race. His fastball hasn't been in the high 90's (clocked at 90-93 mph) like we used to know but he has a Trevor Hoffman changeup and a nasty curveball.

Trade'em

Teams interested: Yankees, Red Sox and Mets

3) Dontrelle Willis - Over the last 3 seasons his numbers are diminishing and you can probably get a Philip Humber and Carlos Gomez types of prospects if available. The Marlins are telling teams that he is not available which is mind boggling.

Trade'em

Teams interested: N/A

4) Torii Hunter - You have to pay Johan Santana, Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau and a new stadium. There will be no money available money for Hunter, but here is what I do, keep'em then get draft picks when he leaves for free agency. He will probably be a Type A free agent.

Keep'em

5) Ken Griffey JR. - The only reason why the fans of Cincy come out to see the Reds are because of this man. With 588 homeruns and 12 away from 600 you can bet your bottoms that the Reds will keep'em .

Keep'em
I will update any trades that go down tonight and tomorrow.
