More Pujols Trade Fun

Postby Renshaw » Fri Oct 31, 2008 4:47 pm

Everyone wants to get Pujols it seems, and I am no different really. Finally getting talks going with the manager, he shot me:

I get: Albert Pujols/Joe Mauer
I give: Jake Peavy/Victor Martinez

It's not a final deal yet, but it's where we're at. Do I take it and laugh my way to a better offense next year, or do I try and work another player in place of Mauer? I mentioned to him other players I was interested in, and he shot me those players ranked in his value:

1. Pujols
2. Longoria
3. F. Hernandez
4. Kazmir
5. Tulowitzki
6. Mauer
7. Nathan

Or should I just take that above deal? I know I won't be able to get Longoria, but I have Aramis Ramirez so I'm not too worried there. I've sort of differed on keeping catchers over the past few years...

It's a 10 Team Keeper league (we keep 8).

My Team:
C Martinez
1B Ortiz
2B Ramirez
3B Ramirez
SS Theriot
OF Dye
OF Ordonez
OF Beltran
Util Hart
Util Zimmerman
Bench Hawpe
Bench Mora
Bench Shoppach
DL Murphy

SP Halladay
SP Peavy
SP Lee
RP Rivera
RP Hoffman
P Arredondo
P Romero
P Billingsley
Bench Blackburn
Bench Dempster
Bench Mussina
Bench Greinke
DL McGowan

NOTE: I guess I am more so asking should I try to work the deal to grab anyone else other than Mauer or be content with the fact that I am getting a pretty good deal as it stands and just run with it?

Don't worry about not getting Longoria....you're getting Pujols.
I take that offer and laugh on my way to the bank.

Just hit the "yes" button and walk away slowly. Don't bargain, don't ask for anything else. This is a steal for you!

.

This is a steal. When you're offered a steal, you don't try to get more. You take it and run. Asking for more will scare off the other guy.

Do you think it will get vetoed?

Or, maybe the question is, how fast would it get vetoed?

I would imagine it gets vetoed easily, but if not, you got yourself one heckuva deal.
