So I'm in an AL-only auction keeper roto league ($50 salary cap for 23 players), and am looking to make a deal... I would trade:
Two years of Ian Kinsler at $4.75 with an option for a third year at $5.75, two years of Jarrod Saltalamacchia at $1.75, and two years of Brandon McCarthy at $0.25 with an option for a third year at $1.25
for
Four years of Carlos Santana at $4.00, two years of Ryan Raburn at $0.25, and two years of David Price at $3.50.
I'm thinking of doing this deal mostly because my league doesn't have a huge emphasis on stolen bases (1 of 9 offensive categories), and I'd be getting Santana for a longer deal than I'd have Kinsler. Raburn does have some playing time concerns, but Salty's job isn't exactly secure, and while I like McCarthy, especially with that contract, I'd rather have the sure thing in Price.
What are your thoughts? Would you still like this deal even if Price/McCarthy was taken out of the deal?

If you think it has a chance
I’d go for it. You’re getting Santana for cheaper and longer than Kinsler, Raburn and Salty have the same potential issues – both could find their playing time seriously reduced in the near future – and Price is a major upgrade over McCarthy, regardless of contract.

this is an easy yes
you’re upgrading two positions while downgrading one so it still has a +- value of 1 in your favor.
