Hey guys.. in a 10 team h2h league (keep 10 players, no penalties)

Buddy just sent me a trade

Trade: Yadier Molina and Adam Eaton 

Get: Prince Fielder

First glance i think the obvious answer is Yes, but then I thought about it and wonder if Prince could be on the downward for his career

As of right now I have 10 keepers (M.Cabrera, B.Posey, J.Kipnis, G.Stanton, J.Upton, D.Pedoria, E.Longoria, C.Hamels, A.Bradley, A.Wood or M.Stroman)

Should I do this trade?? and IF yes, who would I keep Prince over?

You should try to trade Yadier to upgrade a keeper, in any case, given that you also have Posey. But I'm not sure this is the deal to make, given that you are adding a UTIL option behind MCab. Who else might want Molina+ in a package deal? And I might only keep one of Kipnis/Pedroia so that you can keep both of Wood and Stroman.

Ive been shopping Molina for a couple weeks now, no ones interested

Our settings is C,1,2,3,SS,IF,OF,OF,OF,OF,UTL 

So I got room for both kipnis and pedoria, Ive been trying to trade Kipnis but because hes been struggling all year no ones looking to part with a stud for him

To the original question: yes, Prince could very well be done as a high-impact player. But this surgery could also address some issues that he said he was also dealing with during a down 2013. (Interestingly enough, the Rangers did not perform a physical on Fielder as part of the swap for Kinsler.) I'm just not sure I'd keep Fielder over any of those other options, including the SP that you don't plan on keeping as of now.
