Fielder Offers.....Which is the Best for Me?

Postby WBC » Tue Nov 25, 2008 2:05 pm

18 Team Dynasty League

Here are my batters:
Pujols, Vmart, Agon, Fielder, Hamilton, Cano, Wright, Peralta, Sizemore, Markakis, Asdrubal Cabrerra, Iannetta, Chris Duncan

Here are my pitchers:
Webb, Verlander, Hughes, Hamels, Litsch, Blanton, Mariano, Krod, Jenks, Street, Farnsworth, Pinto

I know I am an offensive powerhouse. I was able to build my team that way by basically mortgaging my farm system and pulling some quantity for quality deals.

Bottom line is, i was wondering if it is beneficial for me to trade a big bat for one of these packages.

Here are some offers I have received:

Offer #1
I give:
Fielder (2 year contract)
Asdrubal Cabrerra (4 year contract)

I get:
Edinson Volquez (4 year contract)
Nick Swisher (1 year Contract)
Noland Reimold (No contract, will receive a 5 year contract when I call him up)

Offer #2
I give:
Fielder (2 year contract)

I get:
Billy Butler(4 year contract)
Francisco Liriano (2 year Contract)

Offer #3
I give:
Fielder (2 year contract)

I get:
Matt Kemp (3 year contract)
Shane Victorino (2 Year contract)

Offer #4
I give:
Fielder (2 year contract)

I get:
Mark Reynolds (4 Year contract)
Max Scherzer (4 year contract)

Offer #5
I give:
Fielder (2 year contract)

I get:
Jay Bruce (5 year contract)

I think you are wise to move Prince. I like the Kemp/Victorino deal best although you could use a SP like Liriano. Could you get Kemp and an SP?

If I had to choose one, I'd go with option 3 since I like Kemp. However, people are split on Fielder, and I am one of the ones who are extremely high on Fielder for the next 5 or so years. I see Fielder as a 40-50 HR masher over that span and with overall MLB HR output slowly dropping, I see him becoming a top 5 player during this period. I only think Hanley, Reyes, Miggy, and Pujols will outearn him.

I'd stick with Prince.

I really like Prince, but I think if you can get Kemp and a SP then I would lean heavily that way. None of the other deals are really that close.

I don't think any of them are a good value for Fielder. Although the Kemp/Victorino trade isn't bad. Can you start 5 OF'ers?

I don't think it's in your best interest to trade Fielder. You seem eager to though. His value is nowhere near its peak and he's still a young power hitter, a rare commodity. What's wrong with holding onto him? Why not try to trade Gonzalez instead?

While Fielder is a top young talent, I am concerned about his weight and believe those extra pounds will drag his body down over the brutal course of MLB seasons and shorten the length of his productive career. I think we may may never see another year like 2007 out of him. In a keeper league, I'd view him as a "trade high"commodity now and move him if you can find good value. You maybe need to hang on now to find a better deal than what's listed but Kemp plus another decent talent, such as an SP instead of Victorino, would be a good way to go, imo.

This is an 18 team dynasty league and you have 2 top 5 pitchers and 7 top 30 bats, arguably 5 of the top 12?

Go to mexico for the next 8 years and collect your check.
