5x5 roto league. Can keep 12 guys each year with no restrictions how long.

Been offered Trout and Ad. Gonzalez for Kemp and Fielder.

Trout is about 6 years younger than Kemp but Fielder is 2 years younger than Gonzo. I really want Trout but like worried about Gonzo's power. Already tried many offers and this is probably the only one I can get done for Trout. Is getting Trout worth losing Fielder for Gonzo?

Yes.  This is one of those trades where the "best player in the deal" is the right mantra.

Hard to pull the trigger giving up two studs

I'd do the trade too. Trout is 21 and has a good 10-12yrs of high production. Plus Prince is a big fat POS who's bound to break down at some point.

With the likes of Braun, Strasburg, and Kinsler already among your keepers I'd do this deal in a heartbeat. You'd have arguably the two best overall keepers, someone with the potential to become the best keeper pitcher as soon as this year and one of the best keeper middle infielders. I've always said the person getting the best player in the deal usually wins out, and in this case it's worth giving up Fielder and Kemp to get Trout.

• I ended up getting Gonzo, Trout, Halladay, Perkins for Kemp, Fielder, Fiers, Rondon(Think he will implode as closer).
